Abstract: A latch comprises a support block which, in use, is attached to a first member, and a strike block which, in use, is attached to a second member. A first lever is attached to the support block and shaped to engage with the strike block when the first and second members come into contact. A link member is pivotally attached to the support block. A second lever is pivotally attached to the link member and is shaped to engage with the strike block, with a third lever, pivotally attached to the link member and engageable with the support block, to retain the latch in a latched position. Biasing means biases the third lever into engagement with the support block when the second lever is in its engaged position.
