ABSTRACT:
A shock absorbing disconnect latch comprises a lever, a wall for limiting travel of a longitudinal channel, and at least one vertical slot in a downwardly sloping body to enable rearward flexing of the disconnect latch for removal of the longitudinal channel. The flexing of the disconnect latch causes the lever to move counterclockwise providing space for the longitudinal channel to be disengaged. The flexing of the disconnect latch permits easy removal of the longitudinal channel, together with reliable return of the lever. When the longitudinal channel is stopped by the wall of the disconnect latch, the shock energy is absorbed using the slot by deflection of the disconnect latch.
