  • Patent number: 9187933
    Abstract: A latching system connects a case lid with a plurality of catch cavities to a case body with a plurality of latch-clasp cavities. The latching system has a plurality of latch-clasps connected to the case body with a latch-clasp pivot. A communicating member is attached to each latch clasp with a communicating member pivot. A slide switch is mechanically coupled to the communicating member and has an open mode of operation and a closed mode of operation. Moving the slide switch to the open mode of operation moves the plurality of latch-clasps into each latch-clasp cavity which permits movement of the case lid distant the case body. Moving the slide switch to the closed mode of operation moves the plurality of latch-clasps into each catch cavity which prevents movement of the case lid distant the case body.
