A latching apparatus includes a latching frame, at least one latching member, and at least one spring that exerts a force that drives a curved part of the latching member about a pivot toward a guiding edge of an end portion of the latching frame. A guiding edge of the latching member guides an external mounting pin toward an opening, formed by the curved part of the latching member and the guiding edge of the end portion of the latching frame, when the mounting pin is pushed against the guiding edge of the latching member. The pin initially causes the latching member to pivot away from the end portion until the pin slides past the guiding edge of the latching member and is secured between the curved part of the latching member and the guiding edge of the end portion by the force exerted by the spring.
