A latch assembly for connecting adjacent parts together in angular relationship to one another, includes interengaged latch elements having aligned and elongated openings therein respectively sloping inwardly toward one another. A latch pin having an elongated cross-sectional width extends through the aligned openings to thereby effectively resist forces tending to pull the latch elements apart.
