Multi-function latch device for a module unit

The present invention relates to a multi-function latch device. In particular, the present invention relates to a multi-function latch device which has particular application for securing a module unit in a base unit. A multi-function latch device which includes a latch base and a latch body rotationally connected to the latch base to rotate about a fulcrum between a latched position and unlatched position. The latch body rotates about the fulcrum to form first and second body portions of the latch body extending in opposed directions from the fulcrum. The first body portion includes a latch fixture rotatable with the latch body between the latched position and the unlatched position for selectively securing a module unit in the base unit and ejecting the module unit from the base unit. In the unlatched position, the second body portion forms a lever arm for inserting or removing the module unit relative to the base unit. The module unit is biased toward the base unit in the latched position to provide a desired electrical connection between connector plugs or plug sockets on the module and base units.
