Patent ID: 8191941

Claim:
A pull-turn bolt latch configured to be mountable in an opening in a thin wall, the pull-turn bolt latch comprising: a housing that can be secured in a non-round opening in a thin wall; a shaft which is mounted in the housing so as to be rotatable about a shaft axis, but fixed with respect to axial displacement relative to the housing, the shaft being provided with an external thread; and a bolt on said shaft, where the bolt is acted upon by pressure by a spring engaging around the shaft, and the bolt has a threaded bore hole which matches with the external thread of the shaft; wherein the housing includes: a first stop surface; a second stop surface; and a third stop surface configured to face the second stop surface; wherein the bolt is guided by the housing and the external thread of the shaft so as to have a first movement and a second movement, where: the first movement is a rotational movement covering at least 90° with the shaft where the bolt moves between a first stop position, at which the bolt directly contacts the first stop surface of the housing, and a rotational stop position, at which the bolt directly contacts the second stop surface of the housing, when the shaft is rotated by hand or by a tool; and the second movement is a translational movement in an axial direction when the bolt is in the rotational stop position, whereby the movement of the bolt in the axial direction is guided by the second and third stop surfaces when the shaft is rotated by hand or by a tool such that the bolt is located between the second and third stop surfaces during the translational movement; wherein said housing has: a head part which covers the outer edge of the opening in the mounted position; and a body part proceeding from said head part and penetrating the opening; wherein flexible holding elements project from the body part in direction of the outer surface thereof and are self-adjustable so as to support the body part without play on the rim or edge of the opening, each holding element being separate from the body part and any other holding element.
