ABSTRACT:
A simple, two piece, plastic fastener structure can be formed to include a latch receptacle having an open end leading to an internal cavity defined by front and back sides and top and bottom walls. The front and back sides are shaped so as to include openings located opposite one another. The fastener structure also includes a catch member having a body portion shaped more or less like a tongue which is capable of being inserted within the opening. When it is so inserted sloping walls on catches on the tongue will spread the front and back sides apart until such time as the catches are adjacent to the openings. At this point the sides will spring back to their original configuration so as to secure the catches in the openings so as to hold the catch member relative to the receptacle. The catch member may be released by pushing on the top and bottom walls of the receptacle so as to bow the sides outwardly until the catch member can be withdrawn from the cavity.
