Abstract
A carrier assembly connects a memory storage device with electrical equipment having a slide. The carrier assembly includes a carrier adapted for holding a memory storage device and a folding handle. The folding handle has two arms which normally extend from the carrier. Each arm has an end rotatably attached to the carrier. Each end has a cam member, a biasing member and a locking member. The handle normally stands in an upright position with respect to the carrier, but can rotate to a folded position. The cam member is attached to the end of each arm to urge against the slide to move the carrier with respect to the slide and electrically connect the memory storage device with the electrical equipment when the handle is in the folded position. The locking member attaches to each cam member and engages with the side of the carrier to lock the handle when the handle is in the folded position.
