When the handle is in the first position, the first and second flanges straddle the corner such that the first flange is adjacent to the upper wall and the second flange is adjacent to the side wall. When the handle is in the second position, the first and second flanges straddle the corner such that the first flange is adjacent to the side wall and the second flange is adjacent to the upper wall.

    Abstract: An electronic device including a casing, a cover, a latching member, and a limiting member is provided. The casing has a space and a stopping portion on an inner wall of the casing and in the pace. The cover is detachably assembled to the casing for covering the space. The latching member on the inner wall of the casing and in the space has a body moving relative to the casing between a first position and a second position and a limiting portion with a limiting route. The stopping portion is in a moving path of the latching member. The limiting member is assembled to the casing and interferes with the limiting portion. When the limiting member interferes with the limiting portion, the body is limited at the first position and a third position between the first position and the second position relative to the casing.

    Abstract: An assembly includes an article, and a computer housing including left and right sidewalls cooperatively defining an accommodating space and an opening for communicating the accommodating space with an external environment, and a positioning member provided on one of the sidewalls. Each sidewall includes a slide rail. A package is mounted removably in the accommodating space via the opening, is connected slidably to the slide rails of the sidewalls, and is positioned within the accommodating space through the positioning member. The package includes two interconnected cover parts cooperatively defining a receiving space for receiving the article and a communicating hole for communicating the receiving space with the external environment, and a handgrip to mount removably the package in the accommodating space. Each cover part includes a stop member abutting against the article to prevent escape of the article from the receiving space via the communicating hole.

  • Publication number: 20110121695
    Abstract: A storage unit having a frame, drawers and a carrying handle. When the unit is lifted by the handle, or the handle is moved to a position suitable for lifting the storage unit, the handle arms lift the bottom drawer of the stack of drawers which in turn lifts each of the above drawers relative to the frame. As each drawer rises, the clearance gap between adjacent drawers is reduced and the drawers are moved to a locked position where they are blocked by detents mounted on the inside of the frame. In an alternative embodiment (not shown), the handle is coupled to drawer locking slides instead of the bottom drawer and detents on the drawer locking slides engage with the drawers to lock them in the closed position as the drawer locking slides are moved relative to the frame.

  • Publication number: 20090115297
    Abstract: The present invention provides for electronic module insertion and removal such as when high insertion/extraction forces are exerted in small spaces. To secure or unsecure the module a frame is mounted to a cabinet housing the high insertion module. The frame includes a lever assembly that fixedly rotates about an axle attached at each end to a hub. The hub is allowed to rotate to one or more fixed angular positions that move the lever proximity relative to the front surface of the high insertion module. Applying a pressure to the lever rotates the lever until the module is either secured or unsecured from its cabinet.
