Latching apparatus
First Claim
1. An improved latching apparatus secured on both sides of a gate, door, window or similar structure allowing disengagement and travel of said previously secured structure upon removal of either one of two securing mechanisms comprising:
- a first connecting member attached to a first attachment structure;
a second connecting member attached to a second attachment structure;
a latching member attached to said second connecting member via a sliding pivotal attachment means;
a first connecting member grapple integrated within said latching member;
a first side impermanent attachment of said second connecting member to said latching member;
said first side attachment facilitated via the insertion of a securing mechanism means through securing apertures embodied within said second connecting member and said latching member; and
a second side impermanent attachment of said second connecting member to said latching member;
said second side attachment facilitated via the insertion of a securing mechanism means through securing apertures embodied within said second connecting member and said latching member which are distinct from securing apertures utilized in said first side impermanent attachment.

Abstract
A latching apparatus to facilitate the latching, positioning, securing, disengagement and travel of a door, window, gate or similar structure. In one exemplary embodiment of the invention, a first connecting member is attached to a first attachment structure and a latching member is pivotally attached to a second connecting member and a second attachment structure. Insertion of securing mechanisms into strategically positioned securing apertures prohibits disengagement and travel of a structure secured by the improved latching apparatus. Removal of either one of two said securing mechanisms from either side of a previously secured structure facilitates disengagement and travel of said previously secured structure.
