Patent ID: 7027309

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: a leverage member pivotable with respect to an electronic component securable with respect to a chassis; a first engagement member located on a first side of a centerline of the electronic component and a second engagement member located on a second side of the centerline of the electronic component opposite the first side, wherein the first and second engagement members pivot with respect to the electronic component in response to the actuation of the leverage member, and wherein the first and second engagement members are configured to cooperate with the chassis to provide an engagement biasing force and a disengagement biasing force between the electronic component and the chassis; a first linkage member pivotably coupled to the leverage member and the first engagement member; a second linkage member pivotably coupled to the leverage member and the second engagement member; and wherein the first and second linkage members are configured to pivotably actuate the first and second engagement members in response to actuation of the leverage member to bias a first electrical connector coupled to the electronic component between engaged and disengaged positions with respect to a second electrical connector coupled on the chassis.
