ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a pawl latch which comprises a bush having a head, and a latching arm spaced axially from the head and extending in a direction transverse to the axis of the bush. The latch includes at least one resilient leg positioned on a side of the bush opposite the latching arm and extending back towards the head. The latch is adapted so that it may be inserted in an aperture in a panel at an angle, latching arm first, and then pushed completely into the aperture until the underside of the head engages the front face of the panel and the resilient leg, having been deflected on being pushed through the aperture, springs out to engage the rear face of the panel. The latch is maintained in position in the aperture on the one side between the leg and the underside of the head and on the other side between the latching arm and the underside of the head.
