Abstract
A compression latch includes a cylindrical housing (). A locking shaft () is rotatably and axially movable in the housing. The locking shaft includes an axial free end () that engages a locking element (). A cylindrical sleeve () engages an axial end of the locking shaft opposed of the free end. The sleeve includes an axially tapered annular sleeve slot () in which a shaft engagement pin () is engaged to cause axial movement of the locking shaft with rotational movement sleeve until the pin engages a slot end. After pin engagement with the slot end, further rotation of the sleeve causes rotation of the locking shaft. A cylindrical securing element () is rotatably engaged with and is axially movable relative to the sleeve. The securing element includes a circumferentially extending guiding recess () and a transversely extending latching recess (). A securing element engaging pin () is engageable with the latching recess to prevent rotational movement of the securing element and the sleeve until the securing element is moved axially inwardly to disengage the pin and the latching recess.
