Abstract
A display stand cavity accepts an information handling system secured with a cover over the cavity held in place by a latch. The latch interacts with a locking element of the display stand to maintain the cover in position and slides to an unlocked position to release the cover for removal. An anchor engages with the latch to hold the latch in the unlocked position while the cover remains in place. The anchor releases the latch when the cover is removed from the display stand. If the cover remains in place, application of greater than a predetermined force on the latch towards the closed position overcomes the anchor to re-engage the latch to couple the cover to the display stand.
