Provided is a multi-function, single-piece handle and modular electronic component incorporating same, and a method of inserting and removing the handle from the modular electronic component. The unitary structure of the handle includes insertion and extraction claws that aid in the insertion and extraction of the modular component from a rack mount upon rotation of the handle to an upward, and vertically extended position respectively. The handle also includes a stowage locking mechanism that maintains the handle in a stowed position on the front of the modular component. A rack locking mechanism is also provided integral with the handle to secure the modular component in its rack mount position. Affirmative user actuation is then required to allow the modular component to be removed therefrom. Outrigging mounting and support legs are also included to add rigidity and strength to the handle to allow it to be used to carry the modular component. By design, the handle may be inserted and removed from the modular component without the use of any tools, and is secured in place without the requirement of any additional hardware. |
