ABSTRACT:
Windows are provided including a latch member which is pivotably mounted to one of the support structures of the window. The latch member includes a body portion including first and second transverse ends. At one end is located a projecting portion which extends laterally from the body portion. This projecting portion includes a first contact surface which slides against a descending panel of the window when the panel is lowered into a closed position. This sliding action rotates the latch member away from the path of the lowering panel. Upon closing the panel, the latch member is then rotated substantially by gravitational force to a latching position along the panel to secure it in a closed position. This invention is particularly adapted to bug and security screens.
