A latch assembly and a telescoping mast having a plurality of telescoping tube sections including the same, wherein the latch assembly includes a first latch member mounted to an associated first tube section, a second latch member mounted to an associated second tube section and configured to selectively engage the first latch member to interlock the first and second associated tubes when the associated first tube section is at least partially extended from the associated second tube section, and a trigger member mounted to an associated third tube section. The second latch member includes a latch housing having an opening configured to receive the trigger post when the second associated tube section is retracted into the third associated tube section.

    La présente invention concerne un système de loquet de verrouillage automatique qui est entraîné par l'extension et la rétraction normales du mât, qui réduit la rotation et la déflexion inhérentes au mât dues à des dégagements, et qui fonctionne de façon plus régulière et plus douce que les systèmes de verrouillage classiques. Le système de loquet de verrouillage s'adapte également aisément à l'intérieur de l'empreinte existante d'un mât mécanique typique.
