Title: Luminaire latch and hinge

Abstract: A spring-loaded, plunger-type unit operating within a recess about a window panel in a luminaire and its housing. Preferable two such units operate within one recess and two other such units operate in an opposite parallel recess so that either pair may be operated as latches while the other pair operate as hinges. Alternatively, all four may operate as latches to permit removal of the panel. The units are substantially flush to conform to the outline of the luminaire, but are easily operable without special tools.
