ABSTRACT:
An overcenter type latch for relatively movable members includes a retainer of molded plastic secured to one member and having spaced recesses adjacent one end thereof and a striker adjacent the other end thereof. An operating handle has spaced abutments adjacent one end thereof received within the retainer recesses for pivotal movement of the handle between an overcenter latched position and an unlatched position. An elastomeric link is pivoted to the operating handle and to other member. The link is tensed when the handle is in latched position and extends between the spaced recesses and abutments. A manually operated latch integral with the handle cooperates with the striker to block movement of the handle to unlatched position unless the latch is manually released.
