ABSTRACT A detachable latch for a container is arranged to snap fit into a latch pocket and operate with minimal or no frictional interference in releasing a projecting bolt member from a closure position wherein it projects through a slot in the container cover. In a first em- bodiment, the base of the latch member abuts the pocket wall and is restrained from upward displacement by a wing-slot engagement. A retainer blade projects for- wardly from the upper half of the latch to a location above a retainer shelf of the container body to preclude downward displacement of the latch. At least one nub projects upwardly from the shelf to provide minimal con- tact with the underside of the blade if the blade is inadvertently lowered into contact with the shelf. To open the container, the latch is flexed about its base by pushing the upper part of the latch into the pocket, thereby removing the bolt at the top of the latch from the cover slot. In a second embodiment, the container has symmetrically opposed covers and is served by a single latch having independently flexible halves.
