Abstract:
A self-locking front panel is provided that includes a base plate and first and second retaining members. The first retaining member extends from a back side of the base plate and terminates in a first retaining portion. The first retaining portion has a first rounded portion that bulges out in a direction of a first end edge of the base plate. The second retaining member also extends from the back side of the base plate a select distance from the first retaining member. The second retaining member terminates in a second retaining portion. The second retaining portion has a second rounded portion that bulges out in a direction of a second end edge of the base plate. The first and second retaining members are made of a resilient material that flexes under a load and returns to an original position when the load is removed. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claim (Index 12):
A component bay covering system for a component rack, the system comprising:\n a housing including front side with first front edge and a second front edge, the housing having at least one component bay accessed between the first front edge and the second front edge; a first retaining rail positioned proximate the first front edge of the housing, the first retaining rail including a first inner wall generally perpendicular to the first front edge of the housing, the first inner wall having at least one first retaining groove at a select location; a second retaining rail positioned proximate the second front edge of the housing, the second retaining rail including second inner wall generally perpendicular to the second front edge of the housing, the second inner wall having at least one second retaining groove at a select location; and at least one self-locking front panel to selectively cover the at least one component bay, the at least one self-locking front panel including,\n a base plate having a front side and an opposably positioned back side, the base plate further having a first end edge and an opposably positioned second end edge, \n a first retaining member extending from the back side of the base plate, the first retaining member terminating in a first retaining portion, the first retaining portion having a first rounded portion bulging to be received within the at least one first retaining groove of the first retaining rail when the at least one self-locking front panel is coupled to the housing, \n a second retaining member extending from the back side of the base plate a select distance from the first retaining member, the second retaining member terminating in a second retaining portion, the second retaining portion having a second rounded portion bulging to be received within the at least one second retaining groove of the second retaining rail when the at least one self-locking front panel is coupled to the housing, and \n the first and second retaining members being made of a resilient material that flexes under a load and returns to an original position when the load is removed.
