Abstract: A hingeable latch for detachably or hingedly connecting a base and a cover, most particularly as part of a box. The cover includes a rod and a latch plate which is mounted on the rod so that the latch plate is rotatable relative to the rod. The base includes a latch catch which is designed to engage a portion of the catch plate so as to connect the base and cover. The base further features a rod seat which is designed to hingedly accommodate at least a portion of the rod so that when the latch plate and the latch catch are engaged, the rod is rotatable in the rod seat to permit the cover to be hinged relative to the base.
