Abstract (en)

A latching mechanism 18, for example for retaining a container of herbicide 12 on a handset 2 of a herbicide applicator, comprises a latching element 44 and a operating element 52. The latching element 44 is resiliently based into a latching position in which it engages a notch 20 in the container 12. The latching element 44 is moved out of the latching position by the action of a cam surface 60 on the operating element 52. The cam surface 60 is formed on a projecting nose 56 of the operating element 52, which projecting nose is displaceable along a guide surface 57 in a direction transverse to the direction of movement of the latching element 44 from the latching position to the release position.
