Abstract
A printed circuit board employs a rigid toothed drive arm driven by an exterior spur gear to actuate a pair of levers pivotably attached to one end of the drive arm. Spur gear rotation moves the drive arm and variously moves the drive arm and levers into “Y” or “T” configurations, and in doing so, pushes against exteriorly mounted cabinet or enclosure pins to effect inward and outward motion of the entire board, even when it is fully populated with printed circuit cards contained in cooperatively acting cartridges.
