Rotating latch assembly for raising and lowering the height of a vehicle

Abstract

A rotating latch assembly includes a lift housing extending between a first opened end and a second opened end and defining a chamber extending therebetween. A support tube is slidably disposed in the chamber and extends between a first end and a second end. The lift housing is movable along the support tube between an extended position and a lowered position in response to a movement provided by an actuator wherein the extended position is the lift housing being adjacent to the first end and the lowered position is the lowered position being adjacent to the second end. A retaining member is disposed between the lift housing and the support tube and attached to the support tube and the lift housing for maintaining the lift housing in the extended position as the lift housing moving from the lowered position to the extended position.
