Circuit module with catch and release for displacing a cantilevered latch

摘要

A circuit module with a pivot means engages a pivot support on an equipment chassis so that the module rotates into a locked position. A cantilevered latch located on the chassis locks the module in place by engaging a catch which is located proximate to a back surface of the module. The module is released by displacing the cantilevered latch using a cam and slide assembly which are mounted on the module. The slide assembly has a handle which is accessible at the front of the module. The module is released by pulling on the handle.
