edges of body portion 82 adjacent rear edge 86. Oblong holes 92 are formed
through the ends of legs 90 to receive posts 41 formed on connector body 20.
Between legs 90 and front edge 84 two opposing catch beams 94 depend from the
main body side edges. Catch beams 94 depend from main body 82 a lesser amount
than do legs 90. Inwardly-extending lobes 96 at the ends of catch beams 94 define
catch edges 98 (which face main body portion 82) (col. 4, lines 54-65).
16. Adjacent front edge 84 of secondary latch 80 and at a point centered
between the side edges, a rectangular latching beam 100 depends from the
underside of main body portion 82 (col. 4, lines 66 through col. 5, line 2).
17. Latching beam 100 defines an outward facing latching surface 102
adjacent front edge 84 and an inward facing latching surface 104 remote from front
edge 84 (col. 5, lines 2-4).
18. A short hook 106 extends forward of front edge 84 from the bottom of
latching surface 102 (col. 5, lines 4-6).
19. Secondary latch 80 is installed by straddling legs 90 around the
exterior of connector body 20 and mounting oblong holes 92 around posts 41
(col. 5, lines 23-25).
