ABSTRACT:
A latch assembly includes a tray having a front side and a back side with a cavity defined in the front side of the tray. A handle member is pivotally mounted to the tray at the front side. An actuating member is pivotally mounted relative to the tray on the back side of the tray and is operably connected to pivot with the handle member. An operating member is mounted on the back side of the tray and is movable between a locked position and an operating position. In the operating position, the operating member is contactable by the actuating member upon movement of the handle member. A latching mechanism is configured on the back side of the tray. The latching mechanism latches and unlatches upon a striker element, and is actuated by the operating member in the operating position upon movement of the handle member. In its locked position, the operating member is moved to a position to be out of contact with the actuating member even the though the handle member and actuating member are still freely rotatable. The actuating member does not penetrate the front side of the tray.
