Abstract
A latch assembly having first and second parts for association with first and second elements, respectively. The first and second parts are configured to cooperate to releasably secure the first element to the second element. The first part has a latch member for releasably engaging a catch member on the second part when the latch member is manipulated from an unlatched configuration to a latched configuration. A latch member holder associated with the first part is adapted to hold the latch member while allowing the latch member to pivot about a pivot axis, and slide along a sliding axis which is perpendicular to said pivot axis. The latch member is manipulable into the latched configuration in a predetermined range of contiguous positions relative to the latch member holder along the sliding axis. A method of releasably securing the first element to the second element is also disclosed.
