Latch mechanism
A latch mechanism ( 1200 ) comprises a resilient wire ( 404 ) supported proximate its first end ( 412 ) and second end ( 414 ) by a support structure ( 406 ). The latch mechanism ( 1200 ) also includes one or more hook shaped catches ( 218 ) that have cammed outer surfaces ( 302 ) and wire engaging...

Zusammenfassung: | A latch mechanism ( 1200 ) comprises a resilient wire ( 404 ) supported proximate its first end ( 412 ) and second end ( 414 ) by a support structure ( 406 ). The latch mechanism ( 1200 ) also includes one or more hook shaped catches ( 218 ) that have cammed outer surfaces ( 302 ) and wire engaging openings ( 304 ). To engage the latch mechanism ( 1200 ) the resilient wire ( 404 ) is urged against the cammed outer surfaces ( 302 ) bending the resilient wire ( 404 ) and allowing the resilient wire to rebound into the wire engaging openings ( 304 ). To disengage the latch mechanism the resilient wire ( 404 ) is deflected, e.g., by pushing a moveable manual actuator ( 408 ) that is engaged with the wire, in order to release the resilient wire ( 404 ) from the wire engaging openings ( 304 ) of the catches ( 218 ). |
