Abstract
An economical, efficient window stop includes a narrow, flat housing having first and second cavities for respective flat, narrow bolt and latch. The bolt is spring braced and movable between a first portion within the cavity and a second position extending from the cavity. The latch is spring biased and moves transverse to the movement of the bolt. High strength molded plastic construction with guide means and close tolerances allow efficient distribution of forces from the extended bolt to the housing.
