Zusammenfassung:Integrally molded dust door latches for a video cassette and related method of assembly are described. The latch never needs to be preloaded and includes a planar latch body (82) having a flexing member (86) formed integrally therein to impart inherent spring action to the latch. The latch includes two lateral supports (100),(102) and a first and second projections (92),(94) which enter openings formed in the cassette base. The latch is assembled in the cassette such that the latch can flex or deflect via the flexing member when pressure is applied to one of the projections. The method includes the steps of: locating the two projections in the openings formed in the cassette base; and locating the supports in receptacles formed in the base.
