ABSTRACT:
A latching apparatus including a tab member detachably securable with respect to a base and housing combination which includes a trigger assembly therein and an ejector assembly for selectively achieving securement or detachment of the tab member with respect to the housing as desired. The housing includes side walls defined in apertures through which a pin may extend upon which the trigger member is pivotally mounted with respect to the housing. The trigger member can be externally manipulated and is operable to selectively engage or disengage the latching slot of the tab. The trigger is biased into engagement with the latching slot of the tab by a trigger spring. An ejector including a notch defined therein is adapted to be selectively compressed by the tab when positioned in locking engagement within the tab channel and includes an injector spring to facilitate ejection of the tab from the tab channel when the trigger is moved to the disengaging position. Operation of the trigger to the disengaging position is achieved by movement in the same direction that the tab moves while being removed from the channel.
