Abstract: A toggle catch for an automobile vent window and the like with a base, handle and an intermediate link pivotably connected to the base and handle. The handle has a pair of opposed spring biased latches which engage opposed flanges of a base portion of the toggle catch. The latches are manually operable to a disengaging position to allow the toggle catch to move to an open position. Upon closure of the toggle catch, the latches have prongs with camming surfaces which automatically bias the latch over the flanges until the prongs are under the flange and allowed to spring back to the engaged position to automatically lock the toggle catch in a closed and locked position.
