ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a lock mechanism for data processing equipment. The lock mechanism can simultaneously switch the power supply on or off, lock or unlock the housing of the equipment, and lock or unlock a removable covering installed over a drive assembly. The lock mechanism has a leafspring to produce self-retaining and positively-engaged final positions of a pivoted lever lock. Attached to the lever lock are a plurality of swivel arms arranged and located to perform the simultaneous functions mentioned above. Further, the lock mechanism includes a lock bolt biased closed by a compression spring and actuated by one of the swivel arms.
