摘要： A latch assembly having a housing and a catch assembly on the housing and having first and second states. The catch assembly has a rotor that is movable selectively relative to the housing between first and second positions. The rotor has a mounting portion and a receiving portion. The receiving portion has a U-shaped opening between spaced first and second legs. The U-shaped opening is configured to receive a strike element. The latch assembly further has a strike plate with a strike surface that projects across the U-shaped opening to block a strike element in the U-shaped opening with the rotor in the first position and the catch assembly in the first state. The U-shaped opening is bounded by an edge with a portion of the edge defined by the first leg against which a strike element within the U-shaped opening bears under a force tending to separate the latch assembly from the strike element. A portion of the edge has a first substantially straight length that extends to adjacent the strike surface with the rotor in the first position. The rotor is in the second position with the catch assembly in the second state to allow a strike element in the U-shaped opening, with the latch assembly in the first state, to be separated form the latch assembly.

摘要： A latch assembly having a housing and a catch assembly on the housing. The catch assembly has at least one catch element that is repositionable relative to the housing to change the catch assembly between first and second different states. The catch assembly in the first state is capable of preventing a strike element engaged by the latch assembly from separating from the latch assembly. The catch assembly in the second state permits a strike element, engaged by the latch assembly with the catch assembly in the first state, to be separated from the latch assembly. The housing has a base wall defining a support for at least a part of the catch assembly, a first side wall extending angularly away from the base wall, and a return wall projecting angularly away from the first side wall. At least a part of each of the base wall, first side wall, and return wall is integrally formed to define a U-shaped portion that opens in a first direction and resists deflection of the housing in response to the application of force imparted through the catch assembly to the housing in the first direction and oppositely to the first direction.
