Lever apparatus for an ejector mechanism in a personal computer

A personal computer, comprising:

• a chassis having a side wall and an interior portion for housing electrical and mechanical components therein, said chassis further having a lever apparatus opening formed in said side wall;
• a frame positioned within said interior portion and configured to retain an ejectable structure therein, said frame having an ejector mechanism associated therewith for ejecting said ejectable structure from said frame, said ejector mechanism having an actuating arm for actuating said ejector mechanism;
• and
• an elongated body pivotally coupled to and having an axis of rotation with respect to said side wall, said elongated body having a digit contact end external to said interior portion and an oppositely disposed cam end operable against said actuating arm, said cam end exerting a leverage force against said actuating arm when said elongated body is pivoted from a non-engaged position to an engaged position to thereby eject said ejectable structure from said frame.

A personal computer, comprising:

• a chassis having a side wall and an interior portion for housing electrical and mechanical components therein, said chassis further having a cylindrical pin secured to said side wall within said interior portion;
• a frame positioned within said interior portion and configured to retain an ejectable structure therein, said frame having an ejector mechanism associated therewith for ejecting said ejectable structure from said frame, said ejector mechanism having an actuating arm for actuating said ejector mechanism;
• and
• an elongated body pivotally coupled to said chassis by said cylindrical pin, said elongated body being rotatable with respect to said side wall, said elongated body having a digit contact end external to said interior portion and an oppositely disposed cam end operable against said actuating arm, said cam end engaging and exerting a leverage force against said actuating arm when said elongated body is pivoted from a non-engaged position to an engaged position to thereby eject said ejectable structure from said frame.
