Abstract: A drive carrier for a cold plug device of an information handling system includes a front portion to be placed in physical communication with the device. The front portion includes a handle and first and second latches. The handle is rotatable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The first latch is configured to slide between first and second positions, and the handle is held in the locked position when the first latch is in the first position. The second latch is configured to slide between a third position and a fourth position. A first end of the second latch is in physical communication with a portion of the first latch when the second latch is in the third position. The handle transitions from the locked position to the unlocked position when the first latch is in the second position and the second latch is in the fourth position.

Abstract: A pivot latch for a node of an information handling system including a main support, a hinge, a latch handle, and a button. The main support attaches to the node. The hinge is located at the end of the main support. The latch handle extends downward from the hinge. The latch handle transitions between a default position and a perpendicular position. A force is exerted against the latch handle when the latch handle is in the perpendicular position. The button is in physical communication with the main support and with the latch handle. When the button is moved to an unlock position, the latch handle automatically rotates a partial distance between the default position and the perpendicular position.

Abstract: A latching mechanism includes a release button integrated with a handle. The release button is coupled to a latch that is configured to rotate and disengage from a sidewall. A sliding rail is coupled to the handle and movably coupled to the sidewall via an ejector and a ramp. The ramp moves subsequent to the latch being disengaged from the sidewall, and the ejector rotates and traverses from a first end of the ramp to a second end of the ramp.

Abstract: A slide latch mechanism may include a lever arm and a slide latch. The slide latch may be configured to mechanically engage with the lever arm in a first position and mechanically disengage with the lever arm in a second position, and the slide latch may be further configured such that a tool is required to slide the slide latch from the first position to the second position.

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.

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.

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.
