Patent ID: 8667819

Claim:
A latch for mounting in openings in a thin wall, comprising: a head part which is to be arranged on one, outer side of the thin wall and which overlaps an outer rim of the opening; a body part which proceeds from the head part and projects through the opening in the mounted position; holding elements which project from the body part and are displaceable in direction of the holding elements' outer surfaces, a free end of said holding elements being provided with a first inclined surface for supporting the body part without play on the rim or edge of the opening of an other, inner side of the thin wall; wherein the supporting first inclined surface is inclined with respect to the inner side of the thin wall, and rests on the rim or edge of the opening of the inner side of the thin wall when the latch is in the mounted position; wherein the inclination of the supporting first inclined surface with respect to the surface of the thin wall is selected such that developing play, between the first inclined surface and the rim or edge of the opening of the inner side of the thin wall, is compensated by movement induced by spring pressure on the supporting first inclined surface onto the rim or edge of the opening of the inner side of the thin wall, when the latch is in the mounted position; wherein said free end of each of said holding elements is further provided with a second inclined surface for slam action, the second inclined surface being approximately at a right angle to the first inclined surface; wherein said body part and holding elements are separate parts; and wherein said holding elements are slides of similar construction which are diametrically oppositely arranged so as to be displaceable in a cylinder of the body part that is parallel to the plane of the thin wall and is rectangular in cross section.
