  • Patent number: 6426876
    Abstract: A circuit pack handling system, comprising a handle assembly storage pocket formed in the sidewall of a circuit pack and a carrying handle assembly hinge-mounted within the pocket and adapted to retract substantially within the storage pocket. In a preferred embodiment, the system further comprises a handle locking sub-assembly affixed within the backplane end of the storage pocket between the inner wall of the pocket and the inner leg of the handle assembly to lock the handle assembly into the deployed position. In another preferred embodiment, the system further comprises a coil spring fitted at the gripping member hinge-joint of at least one of the legs so as to spring load the handle assembly whereby the handle assembly automatically flips out from the stored position inside the storage pocket to the deployed position as the circuit pack is pulled away from the shelf frame.

  • Publication number: 20020037077
    Abstract: A telephone terminal base, particularly suited to call centre use in combination with a headset, which includes a body having keypad portion and an elongate display portion which extends laterally of the keypad portion to form a body with an L shape sidewall, contoured to fit against the sides of a computer keyboard. Preferably the telephone base has a substantially symmetrical T shaped form, a laterally elongate display portion forming the horizontal part of a T and the relatively narrow keypad portion forming the vertical part of the T. In symmetric T shaped form, the phone may be placed either side of a conventional computer keyboard, adjacent the keyboard with the display portion extending along the top edge of the keyboard, for right or left handed use as appropriate. Alternatively, the body may have L shaped form for left or right use.
