Abstract:
In the system of electrical circuitry wherein a chassis is employed to support circuit boards in operative association with a backplane, such chassis having a user accessible front portion with oppositely disposed first and second channel-form rails spaced apart a predetermined distance extending within a receiver cavity to a chassis contained multiple pin power supply connector for removable engagement with the corresponding connectors of a power supply, a power supply, comprising:a housing having a forward panel, oppositely disposed first and second sides spaced apart a housing width corresponding with said predetermined distance and extending rearwardly a housing length to a rear side; a multiple pin power supply connector supported at said housing rear side and configured for operative engagement with said chassis contained multiple pin power supply connector when said housing is inserted within said chassis receiver cavity; a first elongate polymeric slide member connected to said housing first side, having a first housing support portion extending to a first rearward tip and slidably engageable with and movable along said first channel-form rail when said housing is moved within said receiver cavity, and extending integrally forwardly from said housing to define a first hand graspable handle portion; and a second elongate polymeric slide member connected to said housing second side, having a second housing support portion extending to a rearward tip and slideably engageable with and movable along said second channel-form rail when said housing is moved within said receiver cavity, and extending integrally forwardly from said housing to define a second hand graspable handle portion.
