Abstract
The latch mechanism includes a drawer pull at the front of the drawer. Under the top flange of the drawer pull is a channel in which a latch member is slidably movable from side to side. A hook is integral with one end of the latch member, which is spring loaded to its latched position. When it is desired to open the drawer, the user places his fingertips beneath the pull and against the latch member and moves the slide member to its unlatched position.
