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 position 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 the recessed disposition. 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 a first or a second notch in the coupling part to latch the coupling part in either its flush or the recessed disposition.
