Abstract
A latching mechanism for use with a convertible-type vehicle is disclosed, in which a handle is pivotally rotatable about a fixed pivot pin, the handle being connected to a transfer arm which moves a retaining member out of engagement with a latch pin when the handle is pivotally rotated about the pin to disengage the convertible top from the vehicle.
