Abstract
A latch for securing a cover (10) to a base (40) includes a projecting tab (145) on one of the cover and the base, a mounting member (50) and a resilient member (70). The projecting tab engages with the mounting member so that the cover engages with the base. The mounting member is deformable. The resilient member is compressed by the mounting member. When the mounting member is deformed, the resilient member is released to urge the mounting member to disengage from the projecting tab thereby removing the cover from the base.
