- the tab 28 has a projection 30 on the free end to limit movement thereof.
- the housing 10 forming one part and the combined handle and latch bolt 13 with its tab 28 forming the other part of the assembly, are molded or formed of a suitable plastic composition such as nylon with the tab 28 having sufficient inherent resiliency for springbiasing the latch bolt toward latching position, and the housing 10 frictionally retained in the opening 11, the housing having a limiting external flange 29 for locating the housing in the opening of the closure.
- the components consist of two parts which snap together; namely, the housing-10 and the combined handle and latch bolt consisting of the bandle 14 and latch bolt '13 having the spaced projections 21,21 snapping into the open end of the recesses of the spaced shoulders 22,22.
- the housing 31 is similar to.the housing 10 except for the location and mounting of a pin 32 in the shoulders 33,33 about which pin the latch bolt 34 and integral handle 35 are adapted to pivot.
- the plate-like handle 35 substantially conforms to the handle 14 except for the contour of its upper edge 36, but the latch bolt 34 has a leg 37 with its forward or outer end 38 integral or affixed to the handle 35 whereby the handle and latch bolt pivot about the pin 32 in the slot 39 formed between the shoulders 33,33 in the housing 31, the outer end of the latch bolt having an open recess 40 receiving the pin 32 as shown in FIG. 23.
- the latch bolt projects through the slot 41 in the rear wall 42 of the housing 31 and its rear or inner hook end 43 has a forwardly projecting flexible tab 44 maintained in contact with the edge 45 of the slot 41 with the movement of the latch bolt 34 limited by a projection 46 on the free end of the tab, the latter springbiasing the latchbolt toward latching position.
- the pin 32 is projected through the aligned openings in the spaced shoulders 33,33 with the two component parts; namely, the housing 31 and the combined latch bolt-34 and handle 35, snapped in position with the pin 32 received in the recess 40 adjacent the forward or outer end of the latch bolt 34.
- the outer circumference of the housing is provided with equally spaced plural tapered ribs 47.
- FIGS. 24 to 28, inclusive disclose the handle, latch bolt and housing assembly of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 13, inclusive, provided with a key-operated cabinet or cylinder lock 48 in which insertion and rotation of the proper key moves a swing bolt or cam 49 to and out of locking position relative to the latch bolt 13.
