ABSTRACT:
A locking and extraction mechanism for a rack mounted component uses a selectively actuable extraction hook slideably retained in a lock block for engaging in a first position of the hook a peripheral edge of the rack mounted assembly. The hook is connected to a handle which is grasped by an operator to enable the rack mounted assembly to be partially withdrawn from the rack and concurrently disconnected from an electrical connector mounted on the rack. Conversely, subsequent to the rack assembly being fully inserted into the rack to make electrical connections with the electrical connector, the hook is longitudinally rotated by a rotation of the handle to a second position wherein the handle is against the face of the rack mounted component to lock the component into the rack while the hook concurrently engages a surface on the lock block to prevent the handle from being withdrawn.
