Patent ID: 8077468

Claim:
A rail coupling arrangement comprising: a pair of rail members removably attached to a pair of lateral sides of a unit, the unit being detachably supported by a frame of an electronic device, and the pair of rail members facilitating removal of the unit from the frame; and a flexible handle including end portions, the end portions detachably coupled to the pair of rail members, wherein the rail members of the pair of rail members each includes a support portion having a projection which protrudes in a direction away from the pair of lateral sides of the unit when the pair of rail members coupled by the flexible handle is attached to the unit, the projection removably engaging a corresponding recession portion in the frame, and wherein when the unit is being removed from the frame, a first force, applied to a substantially central portion of the flexible handle and in a first direction substantially parallel to the pair of rail members, causes the flexible handle to deform such that at least some of the first force is manifested as a second force applied in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, and the second force being applied to at least one of the rail members that includes the projection, the second force causing the projection of the rail member to move in the second direction away from the corresponding recess portion in the frame so as to disengage the projection.
