ABSTRACT:
A latching mechanism, for latching and unlatching a panel movable relative to a stationary panel of a container, includes a latch secured to one of the panels, and a structure defining an opening in the other of the panels through which the latch extends when the movable panel is in container-closing position. A latch keeper is positioned by a positioning device in operative position relative to the other of the panels to engage and retain the latch when the movable panel is in container-closing position. A keeper actuating device is operable to shift the latch keeper to latch-releasing position. The positioning device and the keeper cooperate to maintain the keeper in operative position and the keeper is manually shiftable from the operative position for disengagement from the other of the panels.
