Abstract
A planar module tray includes a bottom panel, first and second side panels, and a handle. The first side panel is in physical communication with a first edge of the bottom panel. The second side panel is in physical communication with a second edge of the bottom panel. The handle is in physical communication with and securely mounted on both of the first and second side panels. The handle transitions between a horizontal position and a vertical position. When the handle is in the horizontal position, the handle is in physical communication with the bottom panel. When the handle is in the vertical position, the handle is perpendicular to the bottom panel.
Claims20
A planar module tray comprising:
- a bottom panel;
- a first side panel in physical communication with a first edge of the bottom panel;
- a second side panel in physical communication with a second edge of the bottom panel;
- and
- a handle in physical communication with and securely mounted on both of the first and second side panels, wherein the handle is configured to transition between a horizontal position and a vertical position, when the handle is in the horizontal position the handle is in physical communication with the bottom panel, when the handle is in the vertical position the handle is perpendicular to the bottom panel.
An information handling system comprising:
- a front module tray;
- a damping material in physical communication with the front module tray;
- and
- a planar module tray, the planar module tray includes:
- a bottom panel;
- a first side panel in physical communication with a first edge of the bottom panel;
- a second side panel in physical communication with a second edge of the bottom panel;
- and
- a handle in physical communication with and securely mounted on both of the first and second side panels, wherein the handle is configured to transition between a horizontal position and a vertical position, when the handle is in the horizontal position the handle is in physical communication with the bottom panel and the damping material, when the handle is in the vertical position the handle is perpendicular to the bottom panel and the damping material.
An information handling system comprising:
- a front module tray;
- a damping material in physical communication with the front module tray;
- and
- a planar module tray, the planar module tray includes:
- a bottom panel;
- a first side panel in physical communication with a first edge of the bottom panel;
- a second side panel in physical communication with a second edge of the bottom panel;
- a handle in physical communication with and securely mounted on both of the first and second side panels, wherein the handle is configured to transition between a horizontal position and a vertical position, when the handle is in the horizontal position the handle is in physical communication with the bottom panel and the damping material, when the handle is in the vertical position the handle is perpendicular to the bottom panel and the damping material;
- a plunger lock to transition between a locked position and an unlocked position;
- when the plunger lock is in the locked position, the plunger lock to hold the handle in either the horizontal position or the vertical position;
- and when the plunger lock is in the unlocked position, the plunger lock to enable the handle to transition between the horizontal position and the vertical position;
- and
- a tab in physical communication with the damping material when the handle is in the horizontal position, wherein the tab and the damping material combine to create an air flow seal between the front module tray and the planar module tray.
