Abstract
A quick release latching mechanism is used with a combined carrier and a compartment of an enclosure. The quick release-latching mechanism securely couples the carrier and the device to a base. The quick release-latching device includes a mounting pin and a lever arm that the mounting pin pivotally mounts to one of the two side-walls of the base. The lever arm has a cut-portion in the shape of a short, rounded trough having a peripheral edge and, when pivotally mounted to the base, is disposed on the inside of the base on one of the two side-walls of the base so that, when the guide pins of the carrier have slided down the ramps of the cut-out portions of the two side-walls of the base and into the guide slots thereof, the peripheral edge of the cut-out portion of the lever arm entraps one of the guide pins of the carrier thereby securing the carrier and the device in place. The placement of the cover locks the quick release latching mechanism in place.
