ABSTRACT:
An anti-theft guard for a wing window latch includes a hollow tubular sleeve and an anchoring element for releasably attaching the sleeve to the latch body. The sleeve is insertable at one open end over the latch body, and is of sufficient length to extend beyond the body and surround and shield a safety push button thereon from access except through an opposite open end of the sleeve. The sleeve has a longitudinal slot defined in a side portion extending from the one open end toward the opposite open but terminating short thereof. The slot has an outer portion located adjacent the one open end of the sleeve and an inner portion located remote therefrom and wider than the outer portion. The sleeve is composed of yieldably resilient flexible material allowing radial expansion thereof and of the outer slot portion to permit insertion of the sleeve over the latch body and passage of the latch lever through the outer portion and then snap-back radial contraction of the sleeve about the latch body and about the latch lever at the inner portion of the slot. The anchoring element is mounted to the sleeve adjacent its one open end and releasably secures the sleeve to the latch body. The anti-theft guard can be a separate component or, alternatively, formed integral with the latch body.
