Patent number: 9063705Abstract: An apparatus includes a frame forming a bay for receiving an electronic module having a blind mate connector for coupling with a chassis connector. An actuator is slidably secured to the frame and forms a push button, an intermediate actuation member, and a distal actuation member. A spring latch is biased to latch the module in place. An ejection lever is pivotally secured to one side of the bay, and has a first end aligned with the distal actuation member and a second end disposed to engage the module. Pushing the push button causes the intermediate actuation member to withdraw the spring latch from the bay and then causes the distal actuation member to pivot the ejection lever to unseat and eject the module.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2013Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: Lenovo Enterprise Solutions (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Steven E. Howell, Joseph H. McKenzie, Camillo Sassano, Jared E. Schott
