ABSTRACT:
A remote latching mechanism comprises connecting member, preferably a cylindrical rod, an actutor assembly for rotating the connecting member about its longitudinal axis, and a latch assembly connected to the connecting member for movement between latched and unlatched conditions in response to the rotation of the connecting member. The latch assembly comprises a crank, at least one link member having over-center action, a pawl support and a pawl, all inter-connected so that upon rotation of the crank, the pawl is pivoted and slid relative to a latch housing between latched and unlatched positions. The actuator assembly comprises an actuator fixedly connected to the connecting member. In one embodiment, the actuator comprises a pivotable handle. In the other embodiments, the actuator comprises a substantially cylindrical member to which torque is applied by a tool or a lever to rotate the connecting member.
