Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a push latch mechanism employed for opening and closing a door of a glove compartment or a trash can installed to an automobile, which is capable of reducing the number of parts required while maintaining the quality and functions required by excluding the use of metallic pins or springs thereby offering a simplified assembly and a reduction in production cost. SOLUTION: The push latch 10 has a housing 12, a lock 14 and a button 16. The lock 14 has a flexible spring arm 46 and a cylindrical boss 48 engaged to a cam slot 56 of the button 16. When the button 16 is pressed during the operation, the cam slot 56 pushes the boss 48 and the lock 14 downward so as to open the door of the glove compartment. When the button 16 is released, the spring arm 46 pushes the cylindrical boss 48 upward within the cam slot 56, and the button 16 and the lock 14 are returned to the previous positions.
