An improved mechanism for operating the latches of a bulkhead, by means of a third handle spaced between the upright edges of the bulkhead, is provided by cam means that effects selective reciprocation of a cross rod which interconnects the two latch-operating handles that are normally provided at the edges of the bulkhead. The cam means include and cooperate with a handle that pivots relative to the cross rod that is to be reciprocated. The cam means normally bias the handle to a stored-away position within the confines of the bulkhead.
