Abstract:
A handle for moving a component with respect to a receptacle along an insertion axis, said handle comprising:a grasping portion; and flexible latching portions extending from said grasping portion, each of said latching portions being configured to extend substantially parallel to said insertion axis and adjacent a surface of the component, each of said latching portions including an engagement surface extending substantially perpendicular to said insertion axis and being configured to engage a surface of the receptacle, and each of said latching portions having a detent oriented along a detent axis that extends toward said insertion axis and configured to extend through an aperture defined in the surface of the component; wherein manipulation of said grasping portion in a direction to remove the component from the receptacle deflects said latching portions toward said insertion axis, thereby releasing said surface of each of said latching portions from engagement with the surface of the receptacle.
