AIRCRAFT ELECTRONIC APPARATUS WITH SUPPORTING RACK

摘要

A mounting arrangement for positioning and maintaining in position a chassis having apparatus thereon in a rack permanently mounted in an aircraft. The chassis/rack for airborne electronic apparatus has a unitized construction exemplified by simplicity of inserting and removing the apparatus from the rack-but is yet extremely rugged to withstand the most severe vibration in an aircraft. The latching mechanism comprises a spring-like pivot arm mounted inside of the chassis with a circular button with spherical crown on an end protruding from the chassis for fitting into and securing the apparatus in the rack. The chassis and rack are of given sizes to permit a snug fit interlock.
