  • Patent number: 6637847
    Abstract: A release latch includes a latch mechanism. The latch mechanism has a base, and an arm. The arm has one end attached to the base, and a free end. The latch mechanism further has a catch connected to the free end of the arm. The base is adapted to be attached to a first component, and the catch is adapted to releasably engage a second component to releasably hold the first component against the second component. The release latch further includes a release mechanism adapted to be attached to the first component, and being movable relative to the base. When the release mechanism is moved, the release mechanism engages the arm to move the arm, thereby causing the catch to disengage from the second component and allowing the first component to be moved away from the second component.
