Patent ID: 8317236

Claim:
An assembly of a drawer and a housing that receives the drawer, said assembly further comprising a latch mechanism having a first catch carried by said drawer which is resiliently biased by a first bias mechanism also carried by said drawer into engagement with a mating second catch provided on said housing, when said drawer is advanced into said housing; said latch mechanism further including a push-button actuator carried by said drawer and operably connected with said first catch so as to effect a disengagement of said first catch from said second catch upon being pressed, said assembly further comprising a second bias mechanism for biasing said drawer to move at least partially out of said housing upon a press of the push-button actuator under a condition that the drawer is not blocked from moving outwardly, and whereupon in a condition that the drawer is blocked from moving outward at a time that said push-button actuator is pressed, said first catch remains in a position to be biased back into engagement with said second catch by said first bias mechanism upon a release of said push-button actuator, whereby said drawer remains secured within said housing.
