ABSTRACT:
An improved latch assembly having a latch body adapted to be coupled to a generally fixed support, such as a chassis unit, wall or post. The latch body has a groove for removably receiving a retained pin which is adapted to be mounted on a movable structural member to be latched, such as a door, support arm, gate or the like. The latch body further includes a latch pin which is spring biased into engagement with the retained pin when the retained pin is received in the groove of the latch body. The inter-engagement of the retained pin and latch pin is such that the retained pin is restricted against movement in three mutually perpendicular directions, namely the x, y and z directions. The retained pin has a pair of spaced, cylindrical parts on opposite sides of a pair of beveled parts which converge toward each other to an annular junction therebetween. The latch pin has a conical end portion for engaging the beveled parts of the retained pin to resist axial movement of the retained pin in the z direction. The engagement of the cylindrical parts of the retained pin with the surfaces of the latch body defining the groove resists movement of the retained pin in a pair of mutually perpendicular directions, namely the x and y directions.
