Claim Text:
1. A rotary latch assembly for a galley cart compartment door, comprising: a barrel member rotating eccentrically on a spindle; a handle connected to the barrel member; an interfering block located outside the barrel member and biased toward the barrel member, where the interfering block can prevent rotation of the barrel member when engaged with the barrel member; a release button diametrically opposed with the interfering block, the release button connected to a rod that disengages the interfering block from the barrel member when the release button is depressed; wherein the handle bears against the door when the barrel member is in a locked position to prevent the door from opening, and wherein the button, when depressed, releases the barrel member to rotate and the handle to pivot out of the path of the door, allowing the door to open.
