ABSTRACT:
Door and cabinet catch with a bumper member, a bumper housing, a compression spring, a ball with stem, a ball joint mounting plate, a ball joint nut, a catch member and an L shaped catch retaining member. The bumper housing includes a clevis that hingably retains the catch member. The catch member includes a spring biased tab for opening the catch member. The compression spring holds the bumper member in an extended position so that it can compress during use thereby reducing the chance of rattling. A preferred embodiment includes that the ball joint allows the bumper housing and bumper member to angle as much as thirty degrees in any direction through a three hundred and sixty degree arc thereby making it possible to obtain a latching action even if the relationship between the catch member and the catch retaining member is not parallel.
