ABSTRACT:
A remote compression-type latching mechanism is provided which comprises an actuator assembly, an elongate rod connected to the actuator assembly for lateral movement in response to actuation of the actuator assembly, a bracket, and a pawl disposed within the bracket and connected to a remote end of the rod for sliding and pivoting movement in response to movement of the rod. The movement of the pawl is guided and facilitated by slots within the bracket, which also provide positive over-center latching in a preferred embodiment. Upon pivoting to the latched position, the pawl contacts a frame to draw the closure member up against the frame under compression.
