Patent ID: 8915525

Claim:
A restraint device, comprising: a latch rotatable between a first latch position and a second latch position about a latch axis of rotation, which is remote from said latch; a catch provided with: a first arm; a second arm; said catch rotatable about a catch axis of rotation between a first catch position and a second catch position, wherein: said catch axis of rotation extends through said catch; when said catch is in said first catch position: said latch, as it is rotated from said first latch position toward said second latch position, contacts said first arm to rotate said catch about said catch axis of rotation, thereby allowing said latch to rotate about said latch axis of rotation past said catch; said latch, as it is rotated from said second latch position toward said first latch position, contacts said first arm, which thereby engages said latch and restrains further rotation of said latch about said latch axis of rotation toward said first latch position; and when said catch is in said second catch position: said latch, as it is rotated from said second latch position toward said first latch position, contacts said second arm to rotate said catch about said catch axis of rotation, whereby said catch transitions from said second position to said first position as said latch rotates about said latch axis of rotation past said catch and toward said first latch position.
