Abstract
The present invention is an anvil cover latch assembly which includes a female latch member having a generally U-shaped frame. The frame has an upper segment, a side segment and a base segment with the base segment having an upwardly angled end section. The upper segment, side segment and base segment are configured to form a channel into which is cast an insert of elastically deformable material. The insert is disposed such that a locking edge is formed by an exposed portion of a lower surface of the upper segment. A male latch member has a substantially planar shoulder region which is designed to engage the locking edge on the female portion.
