an upper housing that includes first and second side panels, a bucket that cooperates with the upper housing to define a bin interior, wherein the bucket is movable with respect to the upper housing between an open position and a closed position, wherein the bucket includes a bottom and first and second side walls, and a latch system that includes a paddle button assembly having a button that is movable between a home position and an actuation position to disengage a latch assembly that includes a hook assembly and a striker assembly, wherein the paddle button assembly is associated with one of the bucket and the upper housing, wherein the hook assembly is associated with one of the bucket and the upper housing and the striker assembly is associated with the other of the bucket and the upper housing, and wherein movement of the button from the home position to the actuation position disengages the hook assembly and the striker assembly, whereby the bucket moves from the closed position to the open position wherein the striker assembly includes a striker, wherein the hook assembly includes a rotary member that includes a hook and a closeout member, wherein the rotary member is movable between a first position where the hook is engaged with the striker and a second position where the hook is not engaged with the striker, wherein the rotary member is enclosed in a housing, wherein the housing includes a striker opening, wherein the closeout member is positioned to close the striker opening when the rotary member is in the second position, wherein when the bucket is moved from the open the position to the closed position, the striker contacts the closeout member, thereby moving the rotary member from the second position to the first position, engaging the hook with the striker and rotating the closeout member to a position where it is not positioned in the striker opening. |
