Abstract
A lid is secured to a housing by a lid latching handle assembly. The handle assembly includes a pair of resilient pads which are compressed against the lid when latched. A pair of locking screws with chamfered shoulders are threaded to the housing and engage a corresponding pair of chamfered holes in the handle to wedge and lock the handle in place as the screws are tightened.
