Embodiment Construction

[0038] The present invention provides a simple straight line squeeze latch that can be easily and reliably installed on the outside of a door or panel. The straight line squeeze latch of the present invention sets steady preset compression. At the same time, only a small part of the latch mechanism protrudes inside the closure body, making the latch easy to seal against the environment. The linear extrusion latch of the present invention is simple to manufacture, assemble and install, and preferably can be assembled from less than a dozen parts.

[0039] Referring to the drawings, in which like parts in the various views have like references, FIG. 1 shows an exploded perspective view of a linear squeeze latch 10 according to the present invention.

[0040] The linear squeeze latch 10 includes an elongated housing 20 for mounting on the outside of a door or panel 210 of a cabinet or enclosure 200 having a frame 220 (FIG. 14). Housing 20 includes an upper portion 21 (best seen...

Abstract

A linear compression latch includes a lever linked to a pawl. As the latch is opened the pawl is initially constrained to move vertically along with a carriage. After an intermediate position is achieved, the pawl is constrained to move horizontally within the carriage.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to squeeze latches for doors or panels. Background technique [0002] It is known to install squeeze latches on doors or panels. Squeeze latches are used in practice to simultaneously lock a door or panel to the frame in which the squeeze latch is mounted and to seal the edge of the panel to the frame when closed. For example, a squeeze latch may be used to compress the opening of a mounting panel provided with a gasket to provide a seal. [0003] Examples of squeeze latches are given by Southco Brochure 2000 (Southco, Inc., PA) pp. 23-69. [0004] The fixed squeeze latch provides the desired preset amount of squeeze, allowing the adjustable squeeze latch some flexibility in the amount of squeeze set. [0005] Squeeze latches typically include a latch bar that engages the frame of the closure body to lock the closure's panels. Since the squeeze latch must be operated from the outside of the closure, a mechanism must be used ...
