Abstract
A lift spring assembly is disclosed for small computers and similar electronic devices of the type that has a base and an upper component assembly that raises when a release is pressed to provide access to computer devices such as printing, data storage and other devices mounted in the assembly. The lift spring is a closed linkage that is held into the base between supports and stops so that the assembly may be removed for service without disconnecting or otherwise disassembling the lift spring mounting.
