Side opening patchbox latch

[hoochiepapa]

I googled this, and it brought me to this site. There were some pics of a patchbox and mechanism, but not the latch. I don't remember who posted the pics, but birddog6 brought them up. Does anyone have a pic of the latch itself and how it's attached to the box wall? Or a drawing? I can't for the life of me figure it out.

Could it be here:  http://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=7090.0  ?  If you will scroll down and look for the drawing, it shows pretty plainly how the mechanism works, at least this one, if it happens to be what you have in mind.

Yes, I'd seen that one, and made a copy of the latch. But I think RDillon had one posted in july, but didn't show the latch too well, and I was hoping I could get him to either post a pic or drawing of how it's supposed to be.
That's ok, and I appreciate your response, I think I have decided which way I'm going. I want to make the latch a spring, so that I don't have to add a spring, the way the original was that he posted before.
Thank you!!
