ABSTRACT:
A latch mechanism having easily removed components for cleaning. The apparatus is comprised of a strike and latch member which are releasably engagable. The latch is rotatably mounted and spring biased toward the strike. The spring biasing element is wedged between the rocker plate member and the edge surface of the door. A pivot pin upon which the rocker plate member is rotatably mounted is slideably removeable therefrom. Thus, the pivot pin, rocker plate member, and spring biasing element can be removed and placed so that all surfaces of the permanently affixed elements of the latch mechanism are completely exposed for cleaning, and such that the removable elements can be emersed and sanitized.
