摘要:
A latching apparatus is coupled to a first electronic component for facilitating docking to a second electronic component. The apparatus includes a pivotable actuation handle, and slide and pivotable linkages. The slide linkage couples to the pivotable actuation handle and is slidable in directions which the first component docks to the second component. The pivotable linkage is also coupled to the slide linkage and includes a latching hook at its distal end. With the first component disposed for docking relative to the second component, pivotal actuation of the handle to open is translated to pivotal movement of the pivotable linkage to facilitate aligning the latching hook over a hook pocket of the second component, and pivotal actuation of the handle closed is translated to pivotal movement of the pivotable linkage to engage the hook pocket, and thereby draw the first component into docked relation with the second component.
