ABSTRACT:
A latch includes a latch body, an opening rod and a structure to connect the opening rod to the latch body. The latch body includes a latching member, a ratchet and an opening lever. The connection structure includes a shaft member connected, at the root portion thereof, to the opening lever and provided, at the free end thereof, with an elongate slip-out prevention member, an elongate rest mounted rotatably on the shaft member and a biased push plate mounted on the shaft portion for movement in the axial direction of the shaft portion. In assembling, one end portion of the opening rod is mated, at an elongate hole formed therein, with the elongate rest and slip-out prevention member. The opening rod is pushed towards the opening lever, turned by about 90.degree. and returned away from the opening lever under the biasing force exerted on the push plate. The one end portion of the opening rod is caught by the rest without slipping out from the shaft portion and can operate the ratchet through the shaft portion.
