<p>Disclosed is a latch (20) for releasably engaging a keeper (40) to secure two members, such as, aircraft cowlings (24,26), to one another. The latch (20) includes a handle (50) moveable between closed and open positions and a hook (46) pivotally connected to the handle for engagement with the keeper (40). When the handle (50) is in the closed position, the hook (46) engages the keeper (40) to secure the members. When the handle (50) is in the open position, the hook (46) is disengaged from the keeper (40) and the members are no longer secured. The latch (20) includes a sensor (60) pivotally mounted to the handle (50). The sensor provides a visual indication, via the position of the handle (50), whether the hook (46) has engaged the keeper (40). If the hook (46) does not engage the keeper (40), the sensor (60) prevents the handle from closing, providing a visual indication that the latch (20) has not closed. <IMAGE></p> |
