Connector with an extendable lever assembly

A connector includes a connector housing having a coupling side for coupling with a complementary connector along a connection direction and a lever assembly including a lever for coupling with the complementary connector. The lever is pivotable around an axis of rotation on the connector housing. The axis of rotation extends essentially perpendicular to the connection direction. The lever extends in at least one position in the connection direction away from the axis of rotation toward the coupling side. The lever assembly has an extension that is movable relative to the lever and that extends the lever assembly in an extended state away from the axis of rotation.

UNLOCKING STRUCTURE AND OPERATING METHOD FOR PLUGGABLE MODULES
20220302645 · 2022-09-22 ·

An unlocking structure for a pluggable module (1XA) which mainly comprises a push/pull handle (11A), an unlocking plate (12), a casing (13, 14), and a part incorporating a motion block piece (15X). Pushing the push/pull handle (11A) moves the unlocking plate (12) toward the rear end of the casing (13, 14) to unlock the module, and then pulling the push/pull handle (11A) allows the module to be removed; in the unlocked state, the unlocking plate (12) can be reset by means of rotating the push/pull handle (11A). This unlock and reset operation provides a complete operation mechanism for the module, as not only is it able to plug in and unplug the module with cable attached, but also able to conveniently operate a reset in situ, while maximally avoiding misoperations and accidents, and the related operations being simple and easy.

SOLID-STATE HARD DISK PLUG-IN DEVICE

The present invention provides a solid-state hard disk lug-in device, including: a main body; a solid-state hard disk installation slot arranged on one side of the main body; and plug-in components. The plug-in components include an operating switch and an operating handle. When the operating switch is closed, the operating handle is restricted to a closed position, and when the operating switch is open, the operating handle is released to an extended position; when the operating handle in the closed position is pushed by an external force, the solid-state hard disk can be inserted into the hard disk slot of the solid-state hard disk system; when the operating handle in the extended position is pulled by an external force, the solid-state hard disk can be pulled out of the hard disk slot.
