  • Patent number: 11812567
    Abstract: A handle assembly may include a base, a handle rotably coupled to the base via a hinge, the handle comprising a lock integral to the handle and mechanically coupled to a remainder of the handle via a spring having a spring force that biases the lock in a locked position relative to the handle. The base may include a mechanical retention feature for receiving and mechanically retaining an information handling resource. The base may also include one or more features configured to, as the handle is translated into a closed position relative to the base, mechanically engage with the lock to overcome the spring force that biases the lock in a locked position and allows the lock to return to the locked position in order to maintain the handle in the closed position.

  • Patent number: 11599161
    Abstract: A drive carrier for a device of an information handling system includes first and second portions. The first and second portions are placed in physical communication with the device. The first portion includes first and second side rails to secure the device within the drive carrier. The first and second side rails slide within a first slot of a bay of the information handling system. The second portion is located on top of the first portion and floats away from and toward the first portion when the drive carrier is inserted with the bay of the information handling system. An amount of float for the second portion is based on a bay pitch of the bay.

  • Publication number: 20070221802
    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus comprising a tray assembly and a wedge rod assembly. The tray assembly includes a roughly-cylindrical paint well, tool orifices, and a handle for one-handed carrying, adjusting, and moving the tray. A button is provided on the handle to allow detachment of the tray from a ladder without the need for two handed operation. A locking or wedge rod assembly is provided for securely interfacing the tray assembly to a hollow-rung ladder. By rotating a grip on the wedge rod assembly, a top platform on the wedge rod assembly extends vertically to engage the interior surfaces of a rung of the ladder, and thereby locks the wedge rod into place. The tray assembly may then be adjusted to the desired angle and attached to the locked wedge rod assembly by engaging the coupling areas. Depressing a button on the handle of the tray assembly releases the tray from the wedge rod assembly and ladder.
