1. A latch mechanism comprising:
a first body movable in a first direction relative to a second body;
a latch member movable relative to the first body and the second body between a latched position and an unlatched position, wherein the latch member is configured to selectively allow movement of a plunger of the second body relative to the first body when the latch member is in the unlatched position thereby permitting movement of the first body in a first direction relative to the second body and wherein the latch member is configured to selectively restrict movement of the plunger relative to the first body via direct contact between the latch member and the plunger when the latch member is in the latched position thereby selectively preventing movement of the first body in a first direction relative to the second body; and
a spring in direct contact with the latch member and configured to urge the latch member into the unlatched position and into the latched position.
