Latch mechanism

A cargo pack for mounting on a bicycle, the cargo pack comprising two parts constituted respectively by a body configured for accommodating cargo, and a lid for closing the body, the cargo pack further comprising a latch mechanism which comprises:

• a first latching component comprising a retainer having an engagement surface,
• a resilient connector which is configured for connecting the first latching component to a first one of the parts and for applying a resilient action on the first latching component resisting displacement of the first latching component in a latching direction, the resilient connector acting on the first latching component at a point spaced from the engagement surface in the latching direction,
• a second latching component comprising a projection having a latching surface and being configured for attachment to a second one of the parts with the projection projecting outwardly from the second part to a free end of the projection, the first and second latching components being releasably engageable with each other to resist separation of the first and second parts,
• the engagement surface being engageable with the latching surface to prevent displacement of the first latching component relative to the second latching component in a direction opposite to a latching direction under the action of the resilient connector,
• the latch mechanism further comprising:
• a guide surface on the second latching component configured for guiding the retainer transversely of the latching direction during movement of the first latching component over the second latching component in the latching direction to engage the retainer with the latching surface,
• a limb provided on the first latching component and extending away from the retainer in a direction opposite the latching direction, the limb having a free end remote from the retainer whereby during disengagement of the first latching component from the second latching component the first latching component pivots about the free end of the limb to cause the retainer to ride over the free end of the projection.
