    摘要: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a selectively operated safety latch having an active mode and a stowed mode. In an illustrative example, a retractable safety latch may include a tongue element extending in a first plane and a base element extending in a second plane. The tongue element, for example, may include multiple mode selection slots. The base element may include a brace slot. For example, one of the multiple mode selection slots and the brace slot may receive a security pin long a longitudinal axis so that a predetermined mode is selected. In the active mode, the tongue element extends away from the base element to releasably engage a striker element. In the inactive mode, the first plane and the second plane are substantially parallel such that the tongue element is prevented from engaging the striker element. Various embodiments may advantageously provide quick switching security latch operations.

    摘要: A frame includes sliding panels to cover an opening of a cabinet. The panels are mounted to interlocking stiffeners. Each of the interlocking stiffeners includes a base portion that forms a channel to receive a forward leading edge or a rear leading edge of the panels. The interlocking stiffeners share forces between the panels. A latch assembly may also be engaged to the interlocking stiffener attached to the forward leading edge of the panel. The latch assembly includes a protruding or projecting portion, such as a bullnose, that positions the latch assembly with respect to a side frame member. During a closing operation, the protruding portion enters a channel of the side frame member. The protruding portion engages with the channel of the side frame member, which results in proper alignment for the latch assembly.
