A latch mechanism includes a main body engagement unit arranged in a main body having an opening or closing body that may open and close, an opening or closing body engagement unit arranged in the opening or closing body, the main body engagement unit includes a first engagement body having a pair of first top portions displaced in a direction orthogonal to a closing direction of the opening or closing body, a second engagement body, included in the opening and closing body engagement unit, having a pair of second top portions respectively contact with the pair of first top portions, and having a first slope that applies a force in a direction to open the opening or closing body to the second engagement body when the pair of first top portions is in contact with the pair the second top portion while closing the opening or closing body.

Latch mechanism and device including latch mechanism

A latch mechanism of an opening/closing door, which is used in a device including an opening/closing door that opens/closes an opening of a device body by using the opening/closing door, restrains the opening/closing door at a closing position, and releases a restrained state when the opening/closing door is opened, the latch mechanism includes an elastic component provided in one of the opening/closing door and the device body facing the opening, having a spring member expanding/contracting to be elastically deformable in one predetermined direction, and holding both end positions of the spring member to be floatable via a holder, and a latch component provided in the other of the opening/closing door and the device body, coming into contact with the holder of the elastic component when the opening/closing door closes the opening, having a latch member restraining the elastic component in a state where the spring member is elastically deformed from an initial state, and moving the holder against a biasing force of the spring member to release the restrained state between the elastic component and the latch member when the opening/closing door is opened from the closing position.

An opening/closing mechanism includes a first inclined portion disposed in an opening/closing body that opens/closes while a first shaft serves as a fulcrum in a main body, a second inclined portion disposed in the opening/closing body, and a swing portion that swings between the first inclined portion and the second inclined portion while a second shaft disposed in the main body serves as a fulcrum, in which during a closing operation of the opening/closing body, the swing portion applies a force in a closing direction of the opening/closing body by coming into contact with the first inclined portion, after applying a force in an opening direction of the opening/closing body by coming into contact with the second inclined portion.

Opening/closing mechanism and device including opening/closing mechanism

A locking structure for an opening and closing body includes an opening and closing body that is supported to be movable between an open position where an opening formed in a device main body is opened and a closed position where the opening is closed and a push latch device that is disposed in the device main body, locks the opening and closing body at the closed position as an engaging body, which is provided on the opening and closing body to protrude in a pushing direction, pushes in a latch body, and releases locking of the opening and closing body to push out the opening and closing body in an opposite direction to the pushing direction in a case where the engaging body is further pushed in at the closed position. Even in a case where the opening and closing body is pushed at the closed position in the pushing direction, the opening and closing body does not move, and the push latch device is held in a locked state.
