ABSTRACT:
A cammed latch is provided with two spaced cams each of which has a cam profile made up of two arcuate sections separated by a cusp. The cusp portion constitutes an interference fit during opening end closing. The latch structure is resiliently mounted to flanges which flex to permit the striker rods to pass over the cusps. A torsion spring provides a closing bias in all positions of the latch.
