ABSTRACT:
A latching assembly comprising first and second mechanically engageable latch members (14,24), biasing means (60,62) for causing the latch members (14,24) to assume a disengaged position, a permanent magnet (50) for overcoming the force of the biasing means, the permanent magnet (50) being isolated from the latch members (14,24) when the latch members (14,24) are in an engaged position, and an electromagnet (46) having a polarity when energized opposing the permanent magnet (50) for overcoming the force thereof and thereby permitting the biasing means (60,62) to cause the latch members (14,24) to assume the disengaged, unlatched position. The assembly is also designed so that the biasing means (60,62) and the electromagnet (46) are isolated from the latch members (14,24) when the latch members (14,24) are in an engaged position.
