Abstract
An aircraft latch is disclosed for latching to the preexisting latch pin of an aircraft assembly. The latch includes a trigger safety to block the trigger from accidentally being opened. A link trunion adds rigidity to the system and cooperates with the trigger safety to provide an anti-vibrating feature. A detent on the latch cooperates with the installation housing in which the latch pin is mounted to hold the latch handle in place when the latch is fully opened to prevent the aircraft doors in which the latch is mounted from being closed inadvertently while the latch is still unlatched.
