ABSTRACT:
A safety catch for a toggle latch of the type for fastening two members and including a base adapted to be coupled to one member. A draw bar is connected to the base with a free end for engagement with the other member. The lever is connected to the draw bar and the base and is shiftable to shift the draw bar between open and closed positions and unfasten and fasten the two members respectively. The safety catch includes a first resilient part having a configuration permitting it to be snapped onto a portion of the base. A second resilient part extends from the first part and is adapted to engage with one of the lever and draw bar to lock the lever and draw bar in position with respect to the base and prevent opening of the latch. The second part is resiliently shiftable away from engagement with the one of the lever and draw bar to permit opening of the latch. The toggle latch is designed with a slidable adjustment arrangement to accommodate dimensional variations.
