Abstract
A camera housing includes a first and second housing portion and a draw latch. The first housing portion includes a monolithic panel base hinge. The second housing portion is pivotally coupled to the first housing portion. The draw latch secures the first and second housing portions to enclose a camera. The draw latch is coupled to the first housing portion and coupleable to the second housing portion. The draw latch includes a draw hook and a mid-linkage. The mid-linkage includes a draw hook hinge end, a draw hook lip end, and first and second segments. The draw hook hinge end rotatably connects to the draw latch. The first segment couples first sides of the draw hook hinge end and the draw hook lip end to one another. The second segment couples the draw hook hinge end and the draw hook lip end together. The mid-linkage is plastic and substantially rigid.
