Patent ID: 8634203

Claim:
A latch assembly for securing a first board and a second board together, comprising: a male section comprising: a base to be fixed to the first board and comprising a first side surface, the first side surface defining a mounting hole extending along a first imaginary line, wherein the mounting hole comprises a first hole portion, a second hole portion, and a shoulder between the first hole portion and the second hole portion; and a tab protruding from the first side surface of the base, the tab comprising at least one latching portion protruding therefrom; a female section comprising: a support block to be fixed to the second board and defining a chamber extending along a second imaginary line, the second imaginary line being substantially perpendicular to the first imaginary line; a movable block slidably retained within the chamber of the support block and slidable along the second imaginary line, the movable block comprising a stop portion capable of latching with the at least one latching portion when the movable block is retained in a securing position by the tab; and at least one elastic member retained within the chamber to apply a push force to the movable block to movably retain the movable block in the securing position; wherein the tab defines a through furrow thereby allowing an external tool to be inserted through the through furrow to press the movable block to release the stop portion from the latching portion; and an ejection mechanism comprising a rod and a coil spring, the rod extending through mounted in the mounting hole and slidable along the first imaginary line, the rod comprising a head portion, a distal end away from the head portion, and a shank between the head portion and the distal end, the coiled spring coiled around the shank with two opposite ends respectively resisting the shoulder and the head portion, and the ejection mechanism being elastic and compressible between the male section and the female section for pushing the female section away from the male section when the latching portion is released from the stop portion.
