Abstract
A supplemental locking mechanism is provided for an overcenter tension latch assembly. The mechanism prevents the keeper engaging member or latch hook (50) from moving out of its toggle position whether or not under load with the keeper of the latch assembly. The mechanism may be a rigid impeding element (90) which is spring biased for direct actuation by the operator through the handle of the latch assembly. The impeding element (90) is arranged in the latch assembly such that it will bear upon a portion of the latch hook (50) at a position which will counteract forces applied to the assembly which forces would otherwise cause the latch assembly to move out-of-toggle.
