ABSTRACT:
An exemplary latching mechanism (20) includes a base (22) having two resilient claps (224), a detachable portion (24) having two resilient clasps (244) for engaging with the hooking portions of the base, and an unlatching element (25). The unlatching element defines two engaging slots (258) and is disposed between the base and the detachable portion. The resilient clasps of the detachable portion engage with the hooking portions of the base when the detachable portion is pressed to be latched to the base. The resilient clasps engage in the engaging slots of the unlatching element when the detachable portion is pressed to be detached from the base. Then the detachable portion and the unlatching element together move away from the base. The engagement of the detachable portion and unlatching element makes the at least one resilient clasp deforms and thus disengages from the at least one hooking portion of the base.
