Abstract
A panel latch system includes a chassis and a plurality of panels mounted on the chassis in a closed position. A latch body is mounted on the chassis for latched engagement with the panels. The latch body is spring loaded so as to be movable between a static position and a plurality of displaced positions for unlatching the panels. A first latch portion on the latch body is provided for releasing a first panel in response to the latch body being moved in a first direction from the static position to a first displaced position. A second latch portion on the latch body is provided for releasing a second panel in response to the latch body being moved in a second direction from the static position to a second displaced position.
