<p>A latch assembly (10) includes a housing (12) having a cavity (130) between first and second end walls (16,28). The housing (12) includes first and second journal members (24,26) and first and second swing arm apertures (40,42) at the second end wall (28). A swing arm member (48) having a joining end (80) is positioned within the cavity (130) having first and second swing arms (44,46) connected to the joining end (80) having portions (84,90) extending freely through the first and second swing arm apertures (40,42). A keeper/catch member (30) is rotatably connected to the first and second journal members (24,26). Keeper/catch member rotation from an orientation rotated away from a longitudinal axis (141,141') defined by a portion of the first and second swing arms (44,46) extending through the swing arm apertures (40,42) to an orientation approximately parallel with the longitudinal axis (141,141') creates an over-center locking condition for the housing (12) and a pushing force acting through the keeper/catch member (30) to push a first component into contact with a second component.</p> |
