ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a latch mechanism, particularly adapted for a table with folding legs, having a latch bar, a latch-bar-receiving member incorporating notches for receiving the latch bar, a latch-bar-securing member, and a compression spring for urging the latch-bar-securing member into the latched position. The latch-bar-securing member incorporates an inclined plane configuration which serves as a wedge to hold the latch bar firmly secured in place regardless of wear or loose fit of the component parts.
