Zusammenfassung:	A fastener for fastening front and rear housing portions of a housing assembly theretogether. A resilient tongue member is affixed to a surface of the rear housing portion to extend upwardly therefrom. A beveled, top edge surface of the resilient tongue member defines a ramped, face surface which extends to a back-angled, force-receiving surface. A hook member positioned beneath the front housing portion is positioned to permit mated engagement with the tongue member. The hook member is permitted elastic deformation responsive to application of forces thereupon by the ramped, face surface of the resilient tongue member during translation of the hook and tongue members into a fastening position. Once positioned in a fastening position, the hook member returns to a nondeformed state, to fasten the tongue member in position thereat, thereby to fasten the front and rear housing portions theretogether.
