A latch (10) including a housing (12) having side members (18, 20) each having an elongated slot (22), a bolt (46) mounted rotatably to the housing (12) and positioned between the side members (18, 20) of the housing (12), a trigger (64) mounted rotatably to the housing (12), and a pin (74) and roller (76) positioned slidably within the elongated slots (22) of the side members (18, 20) of the housing (12). The bolt (46) is moveable between a first, closed position and a second open position. The trigger (64) is moveable between a first position, in which the pin (74) and roller (76) are engaged with the bolt (46) when the bolt (46) is in its first position, and a second position, in which the pin (74) and roller (76) are disengaged from the bolt (46). The latch (10) can be opened automatically when a defined load is provided on the bolt (46), or manually by depressing the trigger (64) to disengage the pin (74) and roller (76) from the bolt (46). |
