Abstract: A connector removal tool comprising a rigid press and release device for removing a connector from an electronics assembly. Upon engagement of the rigid press and the release device, first and second press members of the rigid press engage and move about a pair of deflecting engagement members of the release device to cause the pair of deflecting engagement members to deflect to compress and unlock interlocking tabs of the connector to facilitate removal from the electronics assembly. A single motion of the rigid press can cause unlocking of the connector. Alternatively, a connector removal tool comprises biased deflecting rigid press members that engage directly with a connector to unlock the interlocking tabs of the connector to facilitate removal of the connector from an electronics assembly.

Abstract: A rotating tray system comprises several circular trays stacked for rotation on a post. The trays are supported by respective pins secured to the post. Each tray has at least one compartment and a cutout. A cover with a similar cutout is fixed to the post and closely overlies the uppermost tray of the stack. The trays can be rotated to a storage mode whereat the tray cutouts are aligned with the cover cutout and the tray contents are hidden from view. A selected tray can be rotated such that its cutout is misaligned with the cover cutout, thereby bringing the tray compartments into view under the cover cutout. Grooves on the tray engage the associated pin to loosely retain the tray against rotation both when the tray cutout is aligned with the cover cutout and when a selected tray compartment is aligned with the cover cutout. A lock mechanism prevents tray rotation when the tray cutout is aligned with the cover cutout.
