ABSTRACT:
A combination latch and handle which comprises an L-shaped piece of deformable plastic material having a pocket intermediate two locking protrutions. The pocket, which holds a spring metal clip, fits into a slot on the edge of a piece of sheet metal. The locking protrusions pass through openings on either side of the slot to lock the latch and handle into place securely as the forces to install same are at right angles to the forces to engage or disengage the latching mechanism. The spring metal clip is designed to co-act with a pin on a mating piece of sheet metal.
