ABSTRACT:
A latch mechanism for a sash window assembly includes a housing having a top surface with an opening therein and a latch bolt moveable between an extended position and a retracted position. The latch bolt is slidably supported by two clips depending from the housing. A biasing spring biases the bolt toward the extended position. A retaining member is also attached to the housing. A portion of the retaining member extends into the bolt to retain the bolt to the housing. An actuator connected to the bolt is accessible through the opening in the housing. The actuator can be manipulated by a user to move the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position.
