ABSTRACT:
A coupling part is carried by a junction device housing for movement between a position wherein a face surface of the coupling part is flush (co-planar) with a face surface of the junction device housing and a plurality of user-selectable positions wherein the coupling part is recessed within the housing. A lift and latch mechanism urges the coupling part to its flush disposition and serves to latch the coupling part in a selected one of multiple recessed dispositions. In an alternative embodiment, a latch mechanism which includes a finger is slidably carried by the housing for movement with respect to the housing to insert an end of the finger into one or multiple notches in the coupling part to latch the coupling part in either a flush or recessed disposition.
