Claim:
1. An aircraft storage bin latch system comprising: a paddle button assembly that includes a button that is movable between a home position and an actuation position, a latch assembly that includes a striker assembly and a hook assembly, wherein the hook assembly includes a hook, a trigger arm pivotal from an engaged position to a disengaged position, and an indicator that is movable from a first position to a second position when the trigger arm is moved from the engaged position to the disengaged position, wherein the striker assembly includes a striker, and a cable that extends between the paddle button assembly and the latch assembly, wherein movement of the button from the home position to the actuation position pushes or pulls the cable, thereby pivoting the trigger arm from the engaged position to the disengaged position and disengaging the hook from the striker, wherein pivotal movement of the trigger arm from the engaged position to the disengaged position results in linear movement of the indicator from the first position to the second position.
