ABSTRACT:
A toggle latch for joining together two members. The latch includes a fixed engageable keeper element adapted to be secured to one of the members and a lever assembly adapted to be secured to the other member. The lever assembly includes a bracket, an operating lever secured to the bracket by a fixed pivot and an intermediate portion of the lever, and a drawbar secured to one end of the lever beyond the fixed pivot by means of a movable pivot. The opposite end of the lever forms a handle. The movable pivot is positioned relative to the fixed pivot so that when the drawbar is engaged with the keeper and the handle is shifted to the latched position the movable pivot will be shifted around and into a latched position behind the fixed pivot. Finally, spring means is on the lever assembly to facilitate engagement of the drawbar and the keeper element, and shifting of the lever assembly to the latched position where the members are maintained in tight joined condition.
