Abstract (en)

Disclosed herein is a tongue latch with protection comprising a metal part (1) folded in order to form two longitudinal extensions in opposite directions and in two plans (2) and (3), wherein said longitudinal extensions are connected by an slightly inclined intermediate extension (4); after a concave taper at the sides (5), said longitudinal extension (2) terminates with a circular form (6), where is provided a squared hole (7); the terminal of said opposite extension (3) has lowered edges with special cuttings (8), defining a locking system to lock the protection; said protection (9) comprises a hollow part made from a plastic material with low coefficient of friction, in the form of prism, with eight side faces formed as parallelograms and with rounded edges, having a mouthpiece with thin walls (10) to better adjust to the dimensions of the tongue; said protection (9) is connected to the terminal of the extension (3) of said tongue, where it is fitted by mechanical interference and firmly locked by the edges with special cuts (8) of said terminal.
