<p>An externally accessible adjuster is partic. suited for adjusting the tension of a keeper shaft as applied to a hook type latch forming a part of a flush type latch assembly. The keeper shaft is screw-threaded and receives a screw-threaded wheel having a set of radiating slots exposed in sequence through an access opening formed in the wall of the structure utilizing the flush type latch assembly. Two embodiments are illustrated, either one of which may use an opening which can be arranged to receive the latch handle, or a separate opening. Either adjuster may be arranged to utilize a helically-coiled frictional element or a yieldable detent.</p> |
