Patent ID: 7405942

Claim:
A device for inserting and/or removing a module into or from an interior region of an assembly, such assembly having mounted to a distal region thereof an electrical component for receiving a front end of the module and such assembly being configured to receive in a proximal region thereof a chassis for engagement with a back end of the module after such module has been received by the electrical component, such device comprising: a single piece, elongated structure having disposed along a longitudinal axis thereof: a module mounting region disposed along a front region of the structure configured to have mounted thereto the module; a distal region; an intermediate region disposed between the module mounting region and the distal region of the structure, and a transitional region disposed between the intermediate region and the distal region of the structure, such distal region having a thickness less than the thickness of the intermediate region, such transitional region having a thickness transitioning from the thickness of the intermediate region to the thickness of the distal region of the structure; wherein the distal region of the structure comprises: a first portion terminating in a back region of the transitional region and; a handle portion pivotally connected to a rear region of the first portion along a hinge region disposed between the first portion and the handle portion to enable the handle portion to pivot about an axis between the first portion and the handle portion perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the structure.
