Abstract

A latch mechanism is provided comprising a latch and a cover arranged for attachment to the latch. The latch includes a latch body and a projection extending therefrom wherein, when the latch and cover are attached to one another, the projection extends from an inner surface of the cover. The latch mechanism further comprises a docking area located on a device, the docking area being arranged to receive the latch such that the cover may be securely fixed to the device. When the cover is placed over the docking area, a sliding movement of the cover causes actuation of the latch to secure the cover to the docking area. When the cover is secured in the docking area, further sliding movement of the cover is prevented.
