Abstract
A compression latch is disclosed that is adapted to fold down in both the locked and unlocked positions and that compresses a washer when in the closed position. The latch can couple directly to a hinged body, and does not require a separate housing that is then coupled to the hinged body. The above structure reduces leak points, creates a flush appearance, reduces the risk of injury, and allows greater customizability, as compared to prior art latches.
