Latch assembly and methods of coupling the latch assembly to a device

A docking assembly for coupling with a device, the docking assembly comprising:

• a docking portion comprising a protruding portion configured to be engaged with the device;
• and
• a latch assembly configured to be coupled to the docking portion and selectively coupled with the device, the latch assembly defining an X direction, a Y direction that is orthogonal to the X direction, and a Z direction that is orthogonal to the X direction and to the Y direction, the latch assembly defining a centerline that extends along the Z direction, wherein the centerline defines an inward direction and an outward direction, the latch assembly comprising:
• a first attachment member;
• a second attachment member;
• an actuating member configured to move from a first position to a second position along the Z direction, wherein the actuating member is configured to exert an inward force onto the first attachment member and onto the second attachment member when the actuating member is in the second position;
• and
• a biasing member configured to pivot at least one of the first attachment member or the second attachment member in the outward direction when the actuating member is moved from the second position to the first position.

A method of decoupling a latch assembly from a device, the latch assembly defining an X direction, a Y direction that is orthogonal to the X direction, and a Z direction that is orthogonal to the X direction and to the Y direction, the latch assembly defining a centerline that extends along the Z direction, wherein the centerline defines an inward direction and an outward direction, the method comprising:

• moving an actuating member from a first position to a second position along the Z direction;
• exerting an inward force onto a first attachment member of the latch assembly and onto a second attachment member of the latch assembly with the actuating member when the actuating member is moved to the second position;
• and
• pivoting the first attachment member of the latch assembly and the second attachment member of the latch assembly towards the centerline,
• wherein moving the actuating member from the first position to the second position causes the inward force to be exerted onto the first attachment member and onto the second attachment member, which causes the pivoting of the first attachment member and the second attachment member, which allows for the latch assembly to be decoupled from the device.
