Toggle latch

The invention is a toggle latch (10) by means of which two parts, such as a casing cover and a casing body, or similar objects, can be latched together. The first part of the toggle latch is comprised of a body (20), wherein a securing aperture (31) is provided for a securing pin (30), and to which body a latch lever (25) and an adjustable eye bolt (27) have been attached. The other part of the toggle latch is comprised of a counterpiece (22), such as a hook. A toggle latch according to the invention includes a securing pin and a spring (34), the spring force of the spring being directed at the securing pin so that the securing pin secures the latch lever in the securing aperture of the protrusion (36) of the body of the toggle latch. The securing pin is most preferably U-shaped and made from round steel bar. The spring is a coil spring located around the securing pin and secured to the securing location (35) of the securing pin. The protrusion (36) of the body may be shaped in such a way that, when the latch lever is being latched, the securing pin makes contact with the protrusion and becomes secured in the securing aperture of the protrusion,
