Abstract: A rotary-action heavy-duty slam-to-close latch (1) for closing a panel or door and securing the same, wherein an actuator (10) articulates a sliding locking member (8) into and out of engagement with a lock plate (7), thereby moving the lock plate (7) from a closed position to an open position, thereby releasing a pawl (2) into and out of latching positions with a corresponding keeper (70). Several embodiments of an actuator are provided such as a rotatably mounted handle (10), a motor-driven cam assembly (17), and a rod-driven handle assembly (21).

Abstract: The present invention is a gravity-sensitive latch. The latch includes a pendulum (300) pivotally secured between the actuating button (200) or handle (alternative embodiment) and the pawl (400). When the latch is in a first position, gravity acting on the pendulum rotates the pendulum so that it abuts the button or handle, permitting actuation of the latch. When the latch is in a second orientation, gravity acting on the pendulum rotates the pendulum away from the button or handle, thereby preventing actuation of the latch. The latch may use a wide variety of buttons, handles, or pawl/keeper combinations.
