The substantially vertical pivotal latch member 34 comprises a hook-like member 36 including an outer tip 37 disposed within the keeper receiver opening and a striker pin recess 38 formed in forward or outer portion thereof, a first or upper latch extension or element 40 formed on the upper rear or inner portion thereof and a second latch or lower latch extension or element 42 formed on the lower rear or inner portion thereof to selectively engage the first actuator assembly 16 and the second actuator assembly 18 respectively as described hereinafter.
The substantially vertical pivotal latch member 34 is pivotally mounted within the latch housing 20 on a latch mounting pin 44 extending between opposite sides 46 of the latch housing 20 and through a pivot aperture 48 formed through the rear portion of the substantially vertical pivotal latch member 34. The substantially vertical pivotal latch member 34 is normally disposed in the latched position (FIG. 5) due to gravity. A spring or bias 50 extending between a bias mounting pin 52 extending between opposite sides 46 of the latch housing 20 and a hole 56 formed in the second latch or lower latch extension or element 42 of the substantially vertical pivot latch member 34 may provide an additional force to maintain the substantially vertical pivotal latch member 34 in the latched position.
A support member or ledge 58 extends diagonally upward from the lower front
8491199_1 (GHMatters) P104795.AU
2016269463 07 Dec 2016 portion of the latch housing 20 to engage and support the outer tip 37 of the hook-like member 36 of the substantially vertical pivotal latch member 34 when in the latched position (FIG. 5).

Gravity will return the hook-like member 36 to the latched position when the first actuator subassembly 72 is rotated or returned from the second position to the first position.
As best shown in FIG. 4, the first actuator subassembly 72 comprises a cylinder lock 76 mounted to or on the upper portion of the latch housing 20 having an arm or cam member generally indicated as 78 operatively coupled thereto. The arm or cam member 78 comprises a first arm or cam element 80 coupled to the cylinder element 82 and a second arm or cam element 81 coupled to the upper portion of the second actuator subassembly 74. Of course, a simple first rotatable actuator lever may be substituted for the cylinder lock 76.
The second actuator subassembly 74 comprises a substantially vertical block 84 including a substantially vertical centrally disposed slot 86 formed in the upper portion thereof and a recess or shoulder 88 formed to one side of the
8491199_1 (GHMatters) P104795.AU
2016269463 07 Dec 2016 substantially vertical centrally disposed slot 86 to receive the second arm or cam member 81.
As best shown in FIGS. 5 through 8, the second actuator assembly 18 comprises a first actuator subassembly generally indicated as 88 movable horizontally between a first position and a second position disposed in behind the latch housing 20 and a second actuator subassembly generally indicated as 90 movable between a first or rearward position (FIG. 5) and a second or forward position (FIG. 7) disposed between the first actuator subassembly 88 and the second or lower latch extension or element 42 such that the second actuator subassembly 90 engages the second or lower latch extension or element 42 when the first actuator subassembly 88 is moved from the first position to the second position to rotate the hook-like member 36 upwardly clearing or unlatching the substantially horizontal striker pin 60 from the striker pin recess 38 allowing the gate (not shown) to be opened. Gravity will return the hook-like member 36 to the latched position when the first actuator subassembly 88 is released and the bias 102 returns the first position actuator subassembly 88 and the second actuator assembly housing 94 from the second position to the first position.
As best shown in FIGS. 5 through 8, the first actuator subassembly 88 comprises a plunger 92 partially retained within a second actuator assembly housing 94 by an outer retainer flange 96 disposed around the periphery of an outer plunger opening 98 and an inner retainer plate 100 and a bias or spring 102 disposed within the second actuator assembly housing 94 to normally maintain the first actuator subassembly 88 in the first position.
