1. A latch apparatus comprising:
a housing,
wherein the housing includes a front side and an opposed rear side,wherein the housing includes a receptacle on the front side of the housing, a release mechanism,
wherein the release mechanism includes a handle,wherein at least a portion of the handle extends in the receptacle, wherein the handle is operative to move between a retracted position and an extended position with respect to the receptacle, a spring that is operable to urge the handle to move from the retracted position toward the extended position, a latch mechanism operatively attached to the rear side of the housing, wherein the latch mechanism is operative to change between a latched condition and an unlatched condition, wherein movement of the handle from the retracted position towards the extended position is operable to cause the release mechanism to cause the latch mechanism to change from the latched condition to the unlatched condition, wherein when the latch mechanism is in the unlatched condition, the release mechanism is configured to enable the spring to maintain the handle in an intermediate position intermediate of the retracted position and the extended position, wherein when the latch mechanism is changed from the unlatched condition to the latched condition,
the latch mechanism is operable to enable the release mechanism to cause the handle to move to the retracted position, andthe release mechanism is operable to prevent the spring from maintaining the handle in the intermediate position. |
