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 7):
A self-locking front panel for a component rack, the self-locking front panel comprising:\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; 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 extending out beyond an edge of the first retaining member, the first retaining portion of the first retaining member configured to be held within a first retaining groove of a first retaining rail of a housing of a component rack; 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 extending out beyond an edge of second retaining member, the second retaining portion of the second retaining member configured to be held within a second retaining groove of a second retaining rail of the housing of the component rack to selectively couple the self-locking front panel to the component rack; at least one guide tab extending from the back side of the base plate configured to guide the self-locking front panel to a desired position in relation to the component rack when covering at least one component bay; and at least 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.
