Abstract:
1. A latching mechanism, comprising: a base having at least one resilient hook; a detachable portion for connecting to the base, the detachable portion including a press receiving portion, at least one clasping portion for engaging with the at least one resilient hook of the base, and at least one actuator; the at least one clasping portion and the at least one actuator being formed on the press receiving portion; a rotatable wheel including a plurality of hook openers, the rotatable wheel being rotatable between a first state and a second state forced by the detachable portion; and a resilient member disposed between the base and the detachable portion for providing elastic force to force the detachable portion to move away from the base; wherein the at least one clasping portion of the detachable portion engages with the at least one resilient hook of the base when the rotatable wheel is at the second state, when the press receiving portion of the detachable portion is pressed in a first direction, the at least one actuator of the detachable portion rotates the rotatable wheel about an axis perpendicular to the first direction to the first state and the at least one resilient hook is pushed to deform by at least one of the hook openers of the rotatable wheel, thus the at least one clasping portion of the detachable portion disengages from the at least one resilient hook of the base.
