Abstract
An improved rotary latch and housing configured to receive a strike is described. The housing includes two parts that are mated together to improve their resistance to impact forces imparted by the strike. The housing is provided with a channel-shaped recess for receiving the strike. A rotary jaw and rotary pawl are disposed within the housing to secure the strike in a locked position and release the strike in an unlocked position.
