Hood Latches

grabcad

The following files are two types of rubber hood latches commonly found on American semi trucks, construction equipment, battery boxes and other compartments, etc. One has a bumper and the other doesn't. The sans bumper is more common in my area.The models were created with Autodesk Inventor 2020. I have two spheres in the models that are surfaces and turned off, and are located on the rubber latch sphere and the ball receptacle. They are used for joints/constraints. Whether they exported to the STEP files is unknown to me.The distance from hinge pin to ball centerpoint is 6-inches.I had an epiphany as to make the ball-bracket simpler; therefore I've added it to the folder.
