Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2592394A] A latch mechanism for a cleaning device, the latch mechanism being provided on a portion of the cleaning device for releasable engagement with a keep, the latch mechanism comprises a frame 102 supporting a latch member 106, an actuating assembly 104 and an end wall 120, the latch member being moveable linearly along an axis X between an extended position and a retracted position, the latch member being biased towards its extended position and the actuating assembly providing a contact member 104 moveable between an initial position and an actuating position, wherein the latch mechanism is configured such that a head 108 of the latch member extends beyond the end wall of the frame when the latch member is in its extended position and wherein a contact portion 118 of the contact member abuts an engagement surface 112 of the latch member, the engagement surface being disposed at an angle offset from the axis X such that movement of the contact member against the engagement surface in a direction transverse to the axis X causes movement of the latch member towards its retracted position so as to retract the head of the latch member to a position level with or recessed from the end wall of the frame.
