Inventors:

Jerry L. Glancy - Wichita KS
John C. Birch - Derby KS
Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Seattle WA
International Classification:

E05C 500
US Classification:

292113
Abstract:

An improved latch with preload indicator for securing together a pair of hinged cowlings surrounding an aircraft engine. The latch comprises a hook which engages a keeper attached to one of the cowlings, a handle attached to the other cowling and mounted with the hook along a common pivot, and a hook-handle spreader spring with a free end that moves relative to and extends through the handle to provide indication of latch preload. The visual indication of the preload eliminates the need for maintenance personnel to measure the handle closing force during installation, rigging or maintenance of the cowlings.
