Quarter turn latch

A quarter turn latch attached to a mounting surface, comprising:

• a latching member including an integrally formed engaging portion on a first side of the mounting surface;
• an actuating member on a second side of the mounting surface including rotation limiting means for limiting rotation of the latch, wherein the latching member includes means for attaching to the actuating member so that the actuating member and latching member rotate together;
• wherein the actuating member includes depressions formed in opposed sides of the actuating member, wherein the depressions define barbed tabs engaging opposing barbed flanges for retaining the actuating member and latching member together.

An enclosure, having a quarter-turn latch attached to a mounting surface of the enclosure, comprising:

• a latching member including an integrally formed engaging portion on a first side of the mounting surface:
• an actuating member on a second side of the mounting surface including a portion having first diametrically opposed corners and second diametrically opposed rounded corners, wherein the mounting surface includes an elongated opening formed therein having a first dimension greater than a second dimension;
• wherein a distance between the first diametrically opposed corners is greater than a distance between the second diametrically opposed corners and greater than the second dimension, and wherein the diametrically opposed first corners engage opposed sides of the second dimension in a first position, and wherein the diametrically opposed first corners engage opposite the opposed sides of the second dimension in a second position to limit rotation, wherein the latching member includes means for attaching to the actuating member.

A quarter turn latch comprising:

• a latch member including an integrally formed lower portion having a base and side portions, the base having a tab extending upward therefrom and opposed flanges extending downward from an upper edge of the sides, an annular portion connecting to an upper edge of the lower portion and extending radially outward from the lower portion, and a cam portion extending from a side of the lower and annular portions;
• an actuating member having a planar upper surface, a barrel portion extending downward from the upper surface, the barrel portion including barbs proximate a lower edge of the barrel portion and extending from opposed sides of the barrel portion, the barrel portion including a channel formed in a lower surface, the sides of the barrel defining diametrically opposed first corners and diametrically opposed second rounded corners;
• wherein when assembled, the barbs engage the flanges and the tab inserts into the channel.
