Abstract:
A portable drive carrier for a memory device for use at a computer or workstation. The carrier has a rotatable handle that is adapted to assist in the detachment and ejection of the carrier from a U-shaped receiving frame that is commonly mounted at an existing drive bay of the computer workstation. The carrier includes a pair of handle cams that are coupled to respective sides of the carrier so as to move therealong in response to a rotation of the handle. The handle cams move into engagement with and apply a pushing force against the receiving frame, whereby the carrier is advanced relative to and detached from the receiving frame to enable the carrier to be pulled out of and removed from the frame. The handle cams are interfaced with force transmitting surfaces formed in the handle so that a rotation of the handle is transferred to the handle cams to cause the handle cams to move along the sides of the carrier in order to apply the pushing force against the receiving frame.
