More Information
Summary:A container (100) has a base (110) with a lid (150) that is rotatable about a hinge from a closed configuration to an open configuration. The lid may be secured to the base with a latch assembly (200). The latch assembly may have a locked position and an unlocked position, where the latch assembly includes: a latch body (210) pivotally connected to the lid, a latch button (230) slidably connected with the latch body, the latch button having a latch button-locking member (232), a latch-locking arm (250) pivotally connected to the latch body, and a latch-locking arm biasing member (282) that exerts a rotational force on the latch-locking arm. When the latch assembly is moved to the locked position, the latch-locking arm may engage the base and rotate against the rotational force from the latch-locking arm causing the latch button to move against the linear force until the latch button-locking member engages the arm-locking member.
