Abstract
An automatically-locking latch includes a first slider having a linking pin, a trigger having a tooth, and a second slider having a catch and a first ramp. The trigger is connected to the first slider such that the trigger is biased toward a third direction. The second slider is connected to the bracket and biased in the third direction to a latched position. On insertion of the latch-equipped device into a rack, the second slider rises up and over a catch. On reaching the desired position, the second slider descends to a latched position behind the catch. To release, a user depresses the first slider, causing the linking pin to ride against the first ramp and urge the second slider upward to an unlatched position, at which point the latched device may be removed from the rack.
