ABSTRACT:
A tilt latch for pivotable window sashes is preferably integrally molded from a durable polymeric material but can also be made from metals, metal alloys or the like. The latch includes an angled projection for engaging a recess in the window frame and includes a central body having a cavity for containing a coil spring. Upper and lower covers overhang the sides of the body to form channels for engaging the edge of the sash groove. An alternate embodiment of the tilt latch includes a body and a plunger containing a resilient member. A projection on the body engages a window recess. A resilient member is contained within the plunger to prevent unwanted distortion and slippage.
