ABSTRACT:
A housing unit (302) includes a latching mechanism (106) having a cylindrical head (202), a cylindrical rod (204), a cam (206), and a catch (208). The latching mechanism (106) is rotatably mounted in the housing unit (302). The catch (208) and a cam surface (216) of the cam (206) are rotatably exposable through an opening (164) on the housing unit (302) and the cylindrical head (202) is exposed through a circular opening (314) on the housing unit (302). When a battery door cover (102) meets with the housing unit (302) for attachment, a catch (118) of the battery door cover (102) rides the cam surface (216) to rotate the latching mechanism (106) until the catch (208) locks with the catch (118).
