An imaging device, comprising:
- a retainer, including:
- a first latch;
- a plunger to move in a first direction to actuate the first latch in the first direction;
- a second latch;

A device, comprising:
- a panel;
- and
- a retainer to retain the panel on the device, the retainer including:
- a first latch movably engaged with the panel;
- a plunger to be actuated in a first direction to move the first latch in the first direction relative to the panel from a latched position to a released position;
- a second latch movably engaged with the panel;
- and
- a linkage to be actuated in the first direction upon actuation of the plunger, the linkage engaged with a bell crank to move the second latch in a second direction opposite the first direction relative to the panel from a second latched position to a second released position when the first latch is moved to the released position, the first latch and the second latch to release the panel from the device when the first latch and the second latch are moved to the respective released positions.
5 more elements
An imaging device, comprising:
- a removable panel;
- and
- a retainer to removably retain the removable panel to the imaging device, the retainer comprising:
- a plunger to move in a first direction to actuate a first latch in the first direction;
- a second latch disposed away from the first latch;
- and
- a linkage and a bell crank to engage the second latch with the first latch, the linkage to move in the first direction and the bell crank to actuate the second latch in a second direction opposite the first direction when the first latch is actuated such that the first and second latches release the removable panel from the imaging device.
