ABSTRACT:
Quick-release means are disclosed for use in a television receiver having a molded plastic cabinet with an access opening in the back. The cabinet includes a removable back panel for covering the opening. Quick-release means for attaching the panel to the cabinet back comprise flexible molded extensions of the cabinet include the following. A pair of face-to-face catch means have a projecting flange on each face for flexing into mutual engagement. The catch means include a first member of the pair extending from a flexible edge of the cabinet and a second member extending from the back for joining in snap engagement. A pair of guide means extending from the back panel and spaced on either side of the second member have a taper for guiding the panel and the catch means into sliding engagement. The taper also provides for exerting pressure on the flexible edge to inhibit disengagement. Spring means extending from the cabinet adjacent to the first member provide for exerting disengaging pressure on the catch means and the panel. Pocket means in the back panel leading to the catch means provide for receiving a parting tool for flexing the first member of the catch means out of engagement against the pressure of the taper of the guide means on the flexible edge of the panel. The spring means urges the catch means and the panel into disengagement when the parting tool is inserted in the pocket means. The panel can be re-engaged by extending pressure on the panel against the spring means for snap-engagement of the catch means.
