A latch mechanism for joining two portions of a gas turbine engine. The latch mechanism is moveable between an open and a closed position and includes a first member configured to be attachable to a first portion of a gas turbine engine and a second member pivotally attached to the first member. The first member is attached to the second member at a first position. The latch mechanism also includes a handle pivotally attached to the second member that is attached to the second member at a second position, and third member pivotally attached to the second member. The third member is attached to the second member at a third position, the third position being between the first position and the second position, and wherein the third member comprises securing means for securing the third member to a second portion of a gas turbine engine.

A lockset and a pallet loading bin an associated lock hole. The lockset comprises a lock bar and a handle comprising a connection end. A lock bar is provided with a hook member to interlock with the lock hole and a connection portion. The lock bar is rotatably connected via the connection portion, to a bin body of the pallet loading bin. Rotating the lock bar around the connection portion parallel to an outer surface of the bin body causes the hook member to extend into or retract from the lock hole, thereby interlocking or releasing the lockset. The handle is rotatably connected via the connection end, to a second end of the lock bar opposite to the first end of the lock bar. Rotating the handle around the connection end positions the handle close to or away from the outer surface of the bin body.

An aircraft assembly includes a keeper, a latch and a lock. The latch includes a handle and a hook structure operatively coupled to the handle. The hook structure is engaged with the keeper when the handle is in a closed position. The hook structure is disengaged from the keeper when the handle is in an open position. The lock includes a catch, a lever and a spring. The lever is configured to rotate about an axis between a locked position and an unlocked position. The lever is aligned with the catch locking the handle in the closed position when the lever is in the locked position. The lever is misaligned from the catch unlocking the handle from the closed position when the lever is in the unlocked position. The spring biases the lever axially along the axis in a direction towards the handle.

A blowout latch includes a rotatable bolt that secures a first panel that is adjacent to a second panel to which the latch is affixed. The bolt is restrained by a toggle linkage that operates at one end of the bolt against a pressure-actuated spring. The linkage will release the bolt when an excessive opening force against the bolt exceeds a selected restraining force of the spring. When that condition occurs, the linkage will have deflected the spring and moved to a position where the end of the linkage bearing against spring loses it mechanical leverage with respect to the bolt. Thereafter, the bolt is free to continue rotation to a fully open position. The latch also includes a manual trigger release that disables the restraining linkage and permits free rotation of the bolt to the fully open position when this trigger is actuated.

A door lock mechanism for actuation of the locking slide of a disconnector on a control box, includes a setting mechanism, that may be disposed between a locking position and a released position and that is pre-loaded toward the locking position, wherein the setting mechanism comprises a shaft that is pivoted around a rotation axis, wherein the shaft comprises at a first end a first lever that may be coupled with the locking slide of a disconnector, and wherein the shaft comprises at a second end opposing the first end a second lever having an actuating bolt so that upon pivoting the second lever the first lever conducts a respective pivoting; and a locking nose to be mounted at the inside of a control box door wherein the locking nose comprises starting from its tip an approach slope turning into a catch that turns into a contour slope so that upon closing the control box door the actuating bolt is guided along the contour slope in direction of the release position and against the pre-load.
