Zusammenfassung: | A latching apparatus is disclosed. A latching frame has at least one end portion that includes a guiding edge. At least one latching member has a curved part and a guiding edge located at an outer end of the curved part, and is coupled at a pivot to the end portion such that the guiding edge and the curved part of the latching member face the guiding edge of the end portion. The curved part of the latching member and the guiding edge of the end portion form an opening. At least one spring is coupled at one end to the latching member such that the spring exerts a force that drives the curved part of the latching member about the pivot toward the guiding edge of the end portion. The guiding edge of the latching member is configured to guide an external mounting pin toward the opening in response to the mounting pin being pushed against the guiding edge of the latching member whereby the mounting pin initially causes the latching member to pivot away from the end portion until the mounting pin slides past the guiding edge of the latching member and is secured between the curved part of the latching member and the guiding edge of the end portion by the force exerted by the spring. |
