ABSTRACT:
A spring loaded latch assembly including a first stationary member for securement to a desired stationary surface, and a second movable member wherein the assembly provides for controlled reciprocating movement between the two members from a first closed position to a second open position upon pushing engagement by a user. The first stationary member includes a housing, a spring member secured within a portion of the housing by a retaining member and a latch arm connected thereto. The second movable member includes an engagement member in operable communication with the spring member to provide a spring force between the two members and a latch track member for cooperative engagement with the latch arm of the first member. The assembly also includes a release member that enables disengagement of the latch arm from the latch track without causing damage to the first or second members.
