Abstract:
An arrangement for securing two mating components together, comprising:a chassis adapted to accommodate therein at least two mating components, said chassis having an opening; and a sliding tab connected to said chassis and extending through the opening so that a front portion of said sliding tab is disposed within said chassis, and a rear portion of said sliding tab is disposed outside of said chassis so as to be accessible, said sliding tab being slidable in a linear direction into and out of said chassis, wherein when said sliding tab is slid in the direction out of said chassis and into a first position, the rear portion is disposed relatively distal into the opening and the front portion is disposed relatively proximal to the opening so that one of the mating components is free to be removed from the other one of the mating components, and wherein when said sliding tab is slid in the direction into said chassis and to a second position, the rear portion is disposed relatively proximal into the opening, and the front portion is disposed relatively distal to the opening and engages with the one of the mating components to secure the one of the mating components to the other one of the mating components to prevent their separating.
