ABSTRACT:
A releasable latch has a latched condition latching two parts together of an unlatched condition releasing one part for movement relative to another part. A base (20) is fixed to one of the parts and a catch (22) is supported by the base (20) and movable relative to the base to latch and unlatch the parts. A spring (72) biases the catch (22) to a position latching the parts together. A method of making the latch (10) includes the steps of molding the base (20) of the latch (10) of a first plastic material, molding a handle (24) to the base (20) to form an assembled unit of a second plastic material, molding the catch (22) to the molded base (20) and handle (24) to form a molded assembly in a mold of the handle (24), base (20) and catch (22), of a third plastic material.
