Abstract

A device for use with a computer drawer assembly, the computer drawer assembly including a safety latch. The device comprises a first planar portion and a second planar portion coupled to the first planar portion wherein the second planar portion retracts the safety latch during the slidable operation of the computer system. The device eliminates the tedious process of having to manually retract the safety latch with a screwdriver-type tool when using the computer drawer assembly. This adds significant convenience when a system operator needs to slidably maneuver the computer drawer assembly.
