A latch mechanism including a panel with structure on the panel movably mounting a trigger element and a striker element. The striker element is biased by a spring to an extended position where a latching end portion in the striker element extends beyond the panel. A cam in the trigger element engages a follower on the striker element to shift the striker element to a retracted position with movement of the trigger element.
