    Patent number: 5578794
    Abstract: A cover assembly for restraining an object in an enclosure has a cover frame defining an opening at an open end of the enclosure, a cover to cover the opening, a restraining mechanism securing the cover to the cover frame to restrict movement of the cover relative to the cover frame when the cover is in a closed position and thereby restrain the object in the enclosure, and a latch to secure the cover to the cover frame to also restrict movement of the cover relative to the cover frame when the cover is in a closed position. A method for restraining the object in the enclosure includes securing the cover to the cover frame to cover the opening, securing the cover to the cover frame to restrict movement of the cover relative to the cover frame, and unsecuring the cover from the cover frame with a force having a first component force which unsecures the cover from the cover frame and a second component force which moves the cover relative to the cover frame.
