ABSTRACT:
An indicator panel includes a generally rectangular frame having an outwardly extending surrounding flange and two pairs of generally parallel sides defining an opening. The frame is releasably retained in a recess formed in a mounting plate such that the surrounding flange covers the recess and abuts a front side of the mounting plate. A plurality of stops are provided on the inside walls of the frame for retaining a circuit board in the opening and a cover plate is attached to the frame to cover the opening. One pair of the sides is tubular having a longitudinally extending aperture interrupted by a central wall and pairs of first and second openings formed on opposite sides of the walls. Slidably retained in each aperture on opposite sides of the wall are latches for releasably fastening the indicator panel to the mounting plate. Each latch is formed as one piece from an elastic synthetic material with a head portion connected to a foot portion by a spring. A first latch cam engages the second opening in the latched position to permit the indicator panel to be inserted into the recess in the mounting plate and a slight finger pressure on the first guide finger permits the first latch cam to be moved to the first opening to engage the head portion with an edge of the recess.
