Abstract
The release mechanism includes a guide body adapted to support a guide wall of the electronic device unit, and a locking mechanism adapted to lock the electronic device unit supported on the guide body. The locking mechanism includes an elastic piece projecting in cantilever fashion from an end of the guide body, an operating projection that projects from the elastic piece, and an engaging protrusion that protrudes from the elastic piece and that is adapted to intrude into a screw hole in the electronic device unit to thereby restrict sliding of the electronic device unit. The operating projection is formed with larger size than the engaging protrusion so that under conditions of induced flexure of the elastic piece the engaging protrusion disengages from the screw hole, and during sliding of the electronic device unit does not contact the guide wall.
