Zusammenfassung:	A latching assembly for mounting a printhead to a plate assembly of a printing machine comprises a barrel attached to the printhead and an actuator member having an actuator head disposed for translation and rotation relative to the barrel and a latch element with a circumferential element configured to engage a catch surface on the plate assembly upon rotation of the actuator member. A ratchet mechanism between the actuator head and the barrel is configured to hold the actuator head at different longitudinal positions relative to the barrel upon rotation of the actuator head. A push button is carried by the barrel and a cam mechanism is defined between the push button and the actuator member that is configured to rotate the actuator member relative to the barrel when the proximal face of the push button is manually depressed. As the push button is successively pushed the circumferential element successively engages the catch surface.
