ABSTRACT:
A latch assembly includes a latch that can reciprocatingly move between an extended, latching position and a retracted, unlatching position. A latch-guiding lever having a recessed slot extends into a transverse hole in the latch. A plug member under the elastic force of a spring is urged into the recessed slot, thereby preventing any loosening or slipping-off of the latch-guiding lever from the latch. A pull element may be provided to separate the plug member from the latch-guiding lever to thereby enable disassembly of the latch assembly.
