ABSTRACT:
A releasable latch for a garbage can cover which includes a stop member affixed to the depending flange of the garbage can cover and a resilient latch member affixed to the depending flange of the cover at a point thereon diametrically opposite the stop member. The resilient latch member has a resilient latch arm with a latch element normally extending inwardly through an opening formed in the depending flange of the cover. The stop member and the latch element are adapted to engage the lower edge of the conventional outwardly turned rim formed on the upper end of the garbage can when the cover is moved upwardly. The latch element has a camming surface which moves the latch arm outwardly while the cover is being placed in closed position on the can. A finger grip is provided on the resilient arm to move the latch element outwardly out of contact with the rim to permit removing the cover from the can.
