ABSTRACT:
A system prevents an excessive force from being applied to a handle of a tape drive. The system provides a base coupled to the handle of the tape drive. A lever assembly engages the base to move the handle when a force equal to the force required to move the handle is applied to the lever assembly. The lever assembly disengages the base when a force in excess of the required force is applied to the lever assembly and the force is not applied to the handle.
