ABSTRACT:
A safety catch for a frontally opening hood of a motor vehicle comprises a resilient strip having transverse tongues at its upper end which snap engage in a recess in a bracket on the under side of the hood, the strip being capable of limited vertical movement and being anchored elastically at its lower end. Snap engagement of the tongues in the recess is facilitated by curvature of the upper end of the strip in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and release of the catch is effected by exerting finger pressure on the resiliently flexible strip to disengage it from the recess.
