Abstract

See full text

A slam latch includes a retaining screw that is held in position by a distal upper support that constrains a distal portion of the retaining screw from moving upward, a middle lower support that constrains a middle portion of the retaining screw from moving downward, and a proximal upper support that constrains a proximal portion of the retaining screw from moving upward. The slam latch further comprises one or more L-shaped retaining members on the side that allow sliding the one or more L-shaped retaining members into a corresponding slot(s) of a device being secured, thereby preventing the slam latch from torquing and bending with respect to the device.
