<p>A remotely actuated latch mechanism (30) for securing a cowling (22) to an engine pylon (16) including a handle (34) having a closed and an open position which is connected to a remote latch (31). The remote latch (31) comprises a housing (38), a linking mechanism (40) mounted to the housing (38), and a strut (42) connected to the linking mechanism (40) at a first end and to a keeper (208) at a second end. The handle (34) is connected to the linking mechanism (40) of the remote latch (31) by a push/pull cable (36). The actuation of the handle (34) from the closed position to the open position causes the push/pull cable (36) to move the linking mechanism (40) of the remote latch (31) such that the strut (42) moves from a closed to an open position relative to the keeper (208) allowing the cowling (22) of the aircraft (10) to then be pivoted open. The strut (42) and the keeper (208) are securely engaged in both the open and closed position insuring that when the latch (31) is remotely opened and closed that the keeper (208) is always properly engaged and that the latch (31) properly closes.</p> |
