An aircraft latch is disclosed for latching to the preexisting latch pin
of an aircraft assembly. The latch includes a trigger safety to block the
trigger from accidentally being opened. A link trunion adds rigidity to
the system and cooperates with the trigger safety to provide an
anti-vibrating feature. A detent on the latch cooperates with the
installation housing in which the latch pin is mounted to hold the latch
handle in place when the latch is fully opened to prevent the aircraft
doors in which the latch is mounted from being closed inadvertently while
the latch is still unlatched.
