Abstract
An apparatus and method unlock a shaft (42, 142) of a unit (24, 124) for rotation in response to a mechanical reaction between the unit (24, 124) and an enclosure (22, 122) receiving the unit (24, 124) when the unit (24, 124) has been sufficiently inserted into the enclosure (22, 122), whereby rotation of the shaft (42, 142) linearly translates a component of the unit (24, 124) into connection with a component of the enclosure (22, 122).
