This device for locking in a rack the front face (2) of a drawer (1) for electronic board(s) comprises a bolt (9) mounted so as to slide on the front face between a position locking it in a strike plate (11) carried by the rack and an unlocking position, and a pivoted lever (10) adapted to displace the bolt (9) between the locking and unlocking positions when it is turned respectively between a position in which it is substantially folded down along the front face (2) and a gripping position in which it projects with respect to the front face. The lever (10) is pivoted on the bolt (9) and is movable in translation together with the latter, and the lever (10) and the front face (2) have complementary members which cooperate to displace the bolt (9) and the lever (10) in translation when the lever is turned between the folded-down position and the gripping position.
A device for locking in a rack the front face of a drawer for electronic board(s), which comprises a strike plate carried by said rack, a bolt carried by said front face to slide between a position locking it in said strike plate and an unlocking position, a lever pivoted on said bolt and movable in translation together with the latter, and complementary cam means carried by said lever and said front face, said complementary cam means cooperating together to displace said bolt in translation between said locking and unlocking positions when said lever is turned respectively between a position in which it is substantially folded down along said front face and a gripping position in which it projects with respect from said front face.
A drawer for electronic board(s) which is intended to be mounted so as to slide in a rack and has a front face equipped with a device for locking said drawer in said rack, in which said locking device comprises a strike plate carried by said rack, a bolt carried by said front face to slide between a position locking it in said strike plate and an unlocking position, a lever pivoted on said bolt and movable in translation together with the latter, and complementary cam means carried by said lever and said front face, said complementary cam means cooperating together to displace said bolt in translation between said locking and unlocking positions when said lever is turned respectively between a position in which it is substantially folded down along said front face and a gripping position in which it projects with respect to said front face.
