ABSTRACT:
A module that includes a housing and a latch assembly at least partially positioned within the housing. The latch assembly has first and second associated states, and includes an actuation sleeve having a first position that corresponds with the first state, and a second position that corresponds with the second state. The latch assembly further includes first and second latch arms operably disposed with respect to the actuation sleeve so that respective first and second cam arrangements are defined where the latch arms are responsive to motion of the actuation sleeve. The latch arms partially extend from the housing when the actuation sleeve is in the first position, and the latch arms are substantially retracted within the housing when the actuation sleeve is in the second position.
