<p>A positive position indicator that is used on a variety of non-rotatable, cabinet slam-action pawl latches (42) is disclosed. The indicator uses stored spring forces, stored in a thin, twin-leafed flat spring (60) having a plurality of spring bends (65a, b; 66a, b; 67a, b) therein, to react against a latch keeper (50) attached to the cabinet frame (16). The stored spring forces cause a spring tab (68) to dislodge the latch pawl (42) from an adjacent flat surface and move the latch housing (40) and cabinet door (15) away from the frame.</p> |
