Patent ID: 8582306

Claim:
A modular component chassis coupling system, comprising: a chassis defining a housing and including a first component coupling feature located adjacent a first component section in the housing and a second component coupling feature located adjacent a second component section in the housing, wherein the first component section is located immediately adjacent the second component section and the first component coupling feature is located opposite the housing from the second component coupling feature; a modular component having a first side including a first chassis coupling feature and a second side having a second chassis coupling feature, wherein the first chassis coupling feature is located opposite the modular component from the second chassis coupling feature; a first handle coupled to the first chassis coupling feature, wherein in response to the modular component being positioned in the first component section, the first chassis coupling feature engages the first component coupling feature to move the first handle relative to the modular component and into a coupling position while the second chassis coupling feature is located adjacent the second component section and does not engage the chassis, and wherein the first handle is operable, once in the coupling position, to be moved into a securing position to secure the modular component in the first component section; and a second handle coupled to the second chassis coupling feature, wherein in response to the modular component being positioned in the second component section, the second chassis coupling feature engages the second component coupling feature to move the second handle relative to the modular component and into a coupling position while the first chassis coupling feature is located adjacent the first component section and does not engage the chassis, and wherein the second handle is operable, once in the coupling position, to be moved into a securing position to secure the modular component in the second component section.
