ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a lever apparatus for use in a personal computer that has a chassis with a wall and an interior portion that contains a frame configured to retain an ejectable structure therein. The frame has an ejector mechanism associated therewith for ejecting an ejectable structure therefrom, and the lever apparatus actuates the ejector mechanism to eject the ejectable structure from the frame. The lever apparatus comprises an elongated body pivotally that is coupled to the wall and that has an axis of rotation with respect to the wall. The elongated body may be pivotally coupled to the wall by a pin and hinge member The elongated body has a digit contact end external to the interior portion and an oppositely disposed cam end operable against the ejector mechanism. The cam end exerts a leverage force against the ejector mechanism when the elongated body is pivoted from a non-engaged position to an engaged position, to thereby eject the ejectable structure from the frame.
