AIRCRAFT SAFETY KEEPER FOR LATCH UTILIZATION
A latch mechanism is disclosed. In various embodiments, the latch mechanism includes a T-bolt body and a T-bolt comprising a longitudinal rod extending in a longitudinal direction from the T-bolt body and a transverse rod disposed at an end of the longitudinal rod. A safety keeper defining a load slot may be configured to receive the transverse rod whereby the T-bolt is configured to secure the T-bolt body with respect to the safety keeper.
Key, lock, and latch assembly
A latch mechanism includes a hook-handle assembly coupled to a first panel and a clevis coupled to a second panel. The hook-handle assembly engages the clevis to secure the first panel relative to the second panel.
High visibility hook latch
A high visibility hook latch may include a hook arm having a proximal end and a distal end; a handle pivotably attached to the proximal end of the hook arm; and a connector having a first connector end pivotably attached to the distal end of the hook arm via a link and a second connector end pivotably attached to the handle proximate to the hook arm.
Pin latch with adjustable pre-load
A latch mechanism includes a handle connected to a pin by a linkage. The linkage converts rotation of the handle relative to a frame into axial movement of the pin between extended and retracted positions relative to the frame. The pin engages with a pre-load adjustment mechanism in the extended position to apply a pre-load through the linkage that biases the pin toward the extended position. The pre-load adjustment mechanism is adjustable to set the pre-load through the linkage to a predetermined value as selected by a user.
Mechanism for indicating position of a latch mechanism for an aircraft nacelle
An aircraft nacelle is disclosed and includes a first fan cowl and a second fan cowl. An opening is defined in an exterior surface of the first fan cowl. The aircraft nacelle also includes a blade, a latch mechanism, an arm, and a linkage assembly operably connecting the arm to the blade. The blade is moveable along between a stowed position and a deployed position. The latch mechanism is moveable between a latched position an unlatched position where a portion of the latch mechanism obstructs a path of movement of the blade. The arm is unable to move from an extended position where a portion of the arm extends through the opening in the exterior surface of the aircraft nacelle into a retracted position within an interior volume of the aircraft nacelle when the blade is in the deployed position and the latch mechanism is in the unlatched position.
KEY, LOCK, AND LATCH ASSEMBLY
A latch mechanism includes a hook-handle assembly coupled to a first panel and a clevis coupled to a second panel. The hook-handle assembly engages the clevis to secure the first panel relative to the second panel.
Aircraft cowl locking system
A locking system for locking a cowl to a fixed structure including first and second parts, the first part including a first hook moveable on the cowl and a first shaft fixed to the fixed structure in which the first hook is moveable between locked and unlocked positions, in which the second part includes a handle actuateable between closed and open positions, a second hook and a second shaft fixed to the fixed structure or to another cowl symmetric with the cowl, in which the second hook is moveable between locked and unlocked positions and in which the second hook is mounted where passage of the handle from the closed to open positions causes the second hook to pass from the locked into the unlocked position and vice versa, and in which the locking system also includes a transmission system to move the first hook from the locked into the unlocked position when the handle passes from the closed into the open position, and vice versa.
LATCH MECHANISM OF STORAGE CASE
A latch mechanism of a storage case where a case cover is openably and closably connected to a case body, the latch mechanism includes a latch arm connected to the case body and an arm receiving portion provided on the case cover. A hook is formed on a tip side of the latch arm. A locking claw is formed on a tip side of the arm receiving portion. The arm receiving portion is formed with an inclined surface that guides the hook toward a claw tip of the locking claw.
LATCHING SYSTEM WITH MOVABLE ANTI-SHEAR MECHANISM
A latching system for releasably securing a first structure relative to a second structure. The latching system includes a latch assembly coupled to the first structure and a keeper assembly coupled to the second structure. The latch assembly is selectively engageable with the keeper assembly to hold the first structure against movement relative to the second structure.
Latch having tool recess in trigger
A latch including a body and an engagement member adapted to engage releasably a clevis, and a handle with a trigger attached pivotally and is pivotable between a first position, in which the trigger is engaged releasably with the clevis, and a second position, in which the trigger is disengaged from the clevis. The trigger includes a recess that receives a tool to facilitate pivoting the trigger from its first position to its second position. The latch may include a drive and the trigger includes a socket adapted to receive a key that facilitates moving a drive to clear the handle and disengaging the trigger with the clevis to open the handle.
