ABSTRACT:
The illustrated gate latches include an anchor plate and a latch plate. The latch plate is pivotally mounted relative to the anchor plate by means of a screw which also serves to hold the anchor plate in place. The anchor plate is shown to include one or more alignment flanges, one or more nailing points, and means to limit pivotal movement of the latch plate such as a pair of pivot stop flanges, all formed integral with the anchor plate. The latch plate includes a cam surface which cooperates with a detent bar to pivot the latch plate until the bar is located within a detent gripping or latching section, allowing the latch plate to pivot in the opposite direction and temporarily fix the bar and the latching plate to one another. The trailing end of the latching plate cooperates with the pivot-stop abutments to limit the pivotal movement of the latching plate in one embodiment. A pin and slot arrangement is employed for the same purpose in a second embodiment.
