The invention relates to a plastic enclosure for enclosing industrial components. The enclosure comprises a case (2), a lid (9), and a latch device (13) for locking the lid to the case. The lid (9) has a grip means formed as a rigid lug (14) molded to be monolithic with the lid (9), the lug comprising a throughhole (19) to which a hook portion (17) of a rocker (15) can grip. The lug (14) is arranged, in the closed position of the lid, to extend over and at a distance from the second wall (7) to be substantially in parallel with a wall of the case to limit an intermediate space between the wall (7) and the lug (14) when the lid is in the closed position. The hook portion (17) is arranged so that, in the release position (II) of the rocker (15), it is turned inside the intermediate space away from the path of the lug (14) and, in the locking position (I) of the rocker, the hook portion is turned to protrude laterally outwards through the through-hole (19) of the lug (14) and to compress the sealing gasket (12) by pressing the sealing flange (8) against the sealing gasket (12) to create a spring force against which the hook portion holds the lug (14). The output force of the hook portion (17) exerted to the lug (14) is amplified by a mechanical advantage provided by a lever effect of the rocker (15) when being turned to the locking position by an input force exerted to the handle arm (18).

A latch mechanism includes a hook, a displaceable handle, and links connected between the handle and hook for the operation of the latch mechanism. The handle and links cooperate with the hook to hold the latch mechanism in a locked position.

A lever-lock release system is configured to releasably couple two objects together, for example a parachute and a payload. The lever-lock release system may comprise a first lever and a second lever, each rotatably coupled to a rigid base. When activated, the levers cascadingly rotate to release a first object and a second object. With these systems and related methods, various failure modes may be eliminated, such as undesired premature deployment of recovery parachutes during aerial delivery.

A latch including a housing having side members each having an elongated slot, a bolt mounted rotatably to the housing and positioned between the side members of the housing, a trigger mounted rotatably to the housing, and a pin and roller positioned slidably within the elongated slots of the side members of the housing. The bolt is moveable between a first, closed position and a second open position. The trigger is moveable between a first position, in which the pin and roller are engaged with the bolt when the bolt is in its first position, and a second position, in which the pin and roller are disengaged from the bolt. The latch can be opened automatically when a defined load is provided on the bolt, or manually by depressing the trigger to disengage the pin and roller from the bolt.
