Abstract
A removable chassis is movably received in a casing of a computer. The chassis has a panel forming opposite side flanges and a pair of slide plates movably attached to the side flanges. Each slide plate forms at least a catch engaging with a locking aperture defined in the casing when the slide plate is moved to a secured position for securing the chassis in the casing. A handle has two free ends pivotally attached to the side flanges. An elongate slot is defined in each free end for movably receiving and drivingly engaging with a driving pin extending from the corresponding slide plate whereby when the handle is rotated, the slide plates are moved toward/away from the secured position for locking/releasing the catches. Each free end of the handle forms a camming surface drivingly engaging with a surface of the casing whereby when the handle is rotated and releases the catches, the camming surface exerts a separation force to the casing for separating the chassis from the casing. A notch is defined in each free end of the handle for engaging with a peg mounted on the corresponding side flange to retain the handle at the secured position.
