Abstract
A media eject mechanism is disclosed which includes an L shaped eject member having an ejection spring portion and a lock spring portion and a media housing which engages the lock spring portion such that when the lock spring portion is disengaged with the media housing the ejection spring portion causes the media to be ejected. Such a mechanism advantageously provides media eject functionality using a small number of discrete parts.
