<p>A latch mechanism (110) of the push-push type comprises a latching member (120) and a latch track member (126) which are adapted to be respectively snap-fittingly mounted upon a closure member and a closure housing such that the latch mechanism (110) constitutes an independent or separate latching entity or unit which may be readily incorporated within or mounted upon any closure assembly such as, for example, a cup holder, an ashtray, or a glove compartment door assembly within an automotive vehicle. Structure is provided upon the latch mechanism (110) for permitting the closure member to be opened, even if the closure member is inadvertently pulled instead of pushed, without damaging the latch mechanism. Additional structure is also provided upon the latch mechanism (110) for retaining the closure member at its inward closed and latch position when excessive pushing forces are impressed thereon, such as, for example, attendant a vehicle accident, such that the closure member is not permitted to move to its unlatched and opened position and thereby present a hazard to the vehicle driver or passenger. <IMAGE></p> |
