Plunger releasable latch

A latch system which comprises:

• a--a receptacle enclosure shell with longitudinally aligned transverse shield walls extending out lengthwise, said shield walls connected at their longitudinal end by a slotted tab, with a belt secured around said slotted tab, said receptacle enclosure shell having an end slit opening and a longitudinally opposite notched end wall, both providing access into a main cavity within said receptacle enclosure shell which contains transversely aligned, inwardly directed, rigid internal ridges with inwardly sloped leading edges terminated by transverse bearing ledges, and
• b--a frame structure defining a strap receiving belt end attachment means buckle-type and the other leg, containing a protruding tab that extends out to form a pair of integral flexible beams spaced apart a set distance and projecting transverse fins flanked by outwardly sloped surfaces, said flexible beams enclosed by a protective shroud, whereby said transverse fins displace inwardly towards each other during insertion into said receptacle enclosure shell due to contact with said inwardly sloped leading edges of said rigid internal ridges, thereafter engaging said transverse bearing ledges within said main cavity of said receptacle enclosure shell, and
• c--a plunger insert containing forked fingers projecting out from a stem support structure at one end, and connected to a slidable shaft that extends out to form a boss section at its longitudinal opposite end, said plunger insert positioned within said receptacle enclosure shell whereby said forked fingers are slideably contained in a lengthwise manner, their tips directed towards said rigid internal ridges inside said main cavity of said receptacle enclosure shell, and said slideable shaft passes through said notched end wall of said receptacle enclosure shell projecting out said boss section, whereupon said plunger insert, when pushed inward by a longitudinally directed external force applied at said boss section causes said forked fingers to slide in a lengthwise direction and impact said outwardly sloped surfaces of said transverse fins projecting from said integral flexible beams, causing an inward displacement of said transverse fins toward each other until they disengage from said transverse bearing ledges of said main cavity, and thereafter, within the same lengthwise in-line motion, said forked fingers displace said transverse fins out towards said end slit opening, thereby releasing said frame structure from said receptacle enclosure shell.
