  • Releasable latch
    Patent number: 11408212
    Abstract: A latching device is mountable to a door. The device includes a rod and a pair of latches spaced apart along the rod. The rod is slidably movable relative to a channel between a first position and a second position, with the rod biased into the first position. Upon slidable movement of the rod, both the first and second latches generally move in unison to permit a releasable engagement of the first and second latches relative to two spaced apart protrusion of a frame to releasably secure the door relative to the frame. At least one of the first and second latches is slidably movable relative to the rod between a first position and a second position closer to the other respective latch.
