Extending latch mechanism for a pluggable optical module
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An extending latch mechanism for a pluggable optical module to selectively couple the pluggable optical module on an electronic device, comprising:
- a holding trough located on the optical module having two ends each including a latch notch and an extracting channel, and a sloped surface abutting the latch notch;
a resilient member located in the holding trough having a latch section on one end extending outside the latch notch and another end formed a driving portion extending outside the extracting channel, and a contact portion formed in a middle portion pressing the sloped surface; and
a lever pivotally located on the optical module abutting the extracting channel turnable relative to the optical module to stretch the resilient member outwards through the driving portion to make the contact portion to slide on the sloped surface and the latch section to retract from the latch notch into the holding trough.

Abstract
An extending latch mechanism for a pluggable optical module includes a resilient member and a lever coupling with each other. The lever is turnable to drive and deform the resilient member and to retract the resilient member transversely in the optical module so that the optical module may be removed directly. The structure is simple and easy to fabricate and assemble. It is reliable and convenient to use.

11. An extending latch mechanism for a pluggable optical module to selectively couple the pluggable optical module on an electronic device, comprising:
-
two holding troughs located on the optical module having respectively two ends each including a latch notch and an extracting channel, and a sloped surface abutting the latch notch; two resilient members located respectively in the holding troughs having a latch section on one end extending outside the latch notch and another end formed a driving portion extending outside the extracting channel, and a contact portion formed in a middle portion pressing the sloped surface; and a lever pivotally located on the optical module abutting the extracting channel turnable relative to the optical module to stretch the resilient member outwards through the driving portion to make the contact portion to slide on the sloped surface and the latch section to retract from the latch notch into the holding trough. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
