Claim:
A locking mechanism, comprising: at least one latching member comprising first and second surfaces; at least one spring loaded locking member adapted to securely engage said at least one latching member at one end when said at least one latching member is fully inserted in at least one spacing provided at said one end, said at least one latching member forcing said at least one spring loaded locking member to move against its spring bias when said at least one latching member is being inserted in said at least one spacing, said at least one spring loaded locking member having moved under its spring bias when said at least one latching member is fully inserted in said at least one spacing; means for moving said at least one spring loaded locking member against its spring bias to allow said at least one fully inserted latching member to disengage from said at least one spring loaded locking member; a first locking leg formed on the at least one spring loaded locking member for engaging the first surface of the latching member; and a second locking leg formed on the at least one spring loaded locking member for contacting the second surface of the at least one spring loaded locking member, wherein when the at least one spring loaded locking member is moved against its spring bias, the second locking leg pushes the second surface of the at least one latching member to disengage the at least one latching member from the at least one spring loaded locking member.
