ABSTRACT:
A latch assembly for removably securing an elongated electrical component tray in the housing of a light fixture comprises a bracket member having spaced side walls from which support members extend, respectively, in opposing relation toward the housing interior. A first one of the support members includes a plurality of alternately offset fingers between which a first end of the tray is received. A flat spring member mounted on the opposite bracket wall, transverse the second support member, defines a slotted aperture through which the second one of the mounting members extends. The spring member includes a cam surface for engagement by the second end of the tray to urge the spring away, permitting the tray end to be moved past the cam surface and be received in the slotted aperture for retaining the second end of the tray on the second support member. Release of the tray requires manual movement of the spring member for removal of the second end of the tray from within the slotted aperture.
