  • Load floor latch
    Patent number: 6719332
    Abstract: A latch having a housing, handle, pawl, actuator and spring. The spring biases the pawl toward the latched or extended position. The handle is pivotally attached to the housing and has a pair of actuating arms that are engageable with the actuator. The actuator is slidably supported by the housing. Lifting the handle to the open position causes sliding movement of the actuator which in turn causes the pawl to slide to the unlatched or retracted position.
