ABSTRACT:
An improved latch for securing together two portions of enclosure in which a rotary latch member is secured for rotation to an upstanding wall of one of the portions of the enclosure. The latch member includes a generally circular disk having an annular wall formed about the periphery thereof, the annular wall having an interruption therein and the latch member being rotatable between locked and unlocked positions. A lug is formed on an upstanding wall of the second portion of the enclosure upon assembly of the two portions of the enclosure, the lug is received interior of the annular wall through the interruption therein and the latch member is rotated to the locked position to confine the lug within the annular wall. A stop member extends from one of the upstanding walls generally adjacent the periphery of the disk and includes a locking aperture. A locking lug extends generally outward from the annular wall of the latch member and generally tangentially to the periphery of the disk. The locking lug cooperates with the stop member in the locked position to limit rotational movement of the latch member. An aperture is formed in the locking lug to register with the locking aperture in the stop member to permit the latch member to be secured against rotation in the locked position in which the two portions are secured together.
