Abstract
A locking device includes a striker and a latch. The striker projects from the back side of an openable wall which is hinged on a housing. The latch is secured to the edge of an opening of the housing so that it faces the striker for engaging with and holding the striker in a snap-engaged state when the openable wall is closed. The latch is rotatably mounted in the housing so that the rotation thereof follows the direction of insertion of the striker into the latch.
