Latching System and Handle for Enclosures
Embodiments of the invention provide a latching assembly for an enclosure with an enclosure frame, a latching feature, and a door. A handle can include a handle body and at least one actuation arm with a first engagement feature, and can be pivotably attached to the door to rotate about a pivot axis. A latching mechanism supported by the door can include a rod extending along a rod axis that is substantially parallel to the pivot axis, a second engagement feature engaging the first engagement feature, when the handle is rotated about the pivot axis, to rotate the rod about the rod axis, and a catch attached to the rod. The catch can engage the latching feature of the enclosure, when the rod is rotated in a first rod direction about the rod axis, to latch the door to the enclosure frame.
