Abstract

A compressor for a file drawer is locked in position within a drawer by unitary spring rod, which serves to both define an operating handle and provide a bias for releasably retaining latch elements associated with opposite ends of the rod in latching engagement with the drawer. The spring rod is adapted for snap-fit attachment to the compressor.
