Abstract
Embodiments are directed toward a latch. The latch preferably has a housing that defines a receiver channel that is configured to receive a latchable member. The latch preferably has a catch that is transitionable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. In the open configuration, the catch is preferably configured to enable insertion and removal of the latchable member into and from the receiver channel. In the closed configuration, the catch is preferably configured to at least partially close the receiver channel and to prevent removal of the latchable member from the receiver channel.
