Abstract
A seesaw assembly includes a base bracket rotatably coupled to a seesaw bracket. The seesaw bracket rotates around a pivot when a force is applied on an actuator end of the seesaw bracket. A sloped end of the seesaw bracket moves in a direction opposite of the actuator end as the seesaw bracket rotates around the pivot that pushes down a retaining latch of a cable connector releasing the cable connector from a port.
Claims20
A seesaw assembly comprising:
- a seesaw bracket;
- and
- a base bracket rotatably coupled to the seesaw bracket,
- wherein the seesaw bracket rotates around a pivot when a force is applied on an actuator end of the seesaw bracket, wherein a sloped end of the seesaw bracket moves in an opposite direction of the actuator end as the seesaw bracket rotates around the pivot that pushes down a retaining latch of a cable connector releasing the cable connector from a port, and wherein the seesaw bracket further comprises a spring that is physically coupled to a rivet pin that is inserted through openings in the seesaw bracket.

An information handling system, comprising:
- a seesaw assembly having a connector latch disengagement mechanism, the seesaw assembly including;
- a base bracket that is rotatably coupled to a seesaw bracket;
- and
- the seesaw bracket that is configured to rotate around a pivot when a force is applied on an actuator end of the seesaw bracket, wherein a sloped end of the seesaw bracket moves in an opposite direction of the actuator end as the seesaw bracket rotates around the pivot which pushes down a retaining latch of a cable connector releasing the cable connector from a port of the information handling system, and wherein the seesaw bracket further comprises a spring that is physically coupled to a rivet pin that is inserted through openings in the seesaw bracket.
