COMBINED HANDLE AND LOCKING MECHANISM FOR A DASHBOARD MOUNTED APPARATUS SUCH AS A CAR RADIO.

摘要

A combined handle and lock mechanism for a dashboard mounted apparatus, such as a car radio, comprises a slide (10) displaceable in a guide (5-9) on either side of the apparatus (1), the outer end of each slide being made as a handle (29) and the inner end of each slide cooperating with a latch member (20) to lock the apparatus in a cassette for example. The slide has an inserted position, in which it is locked against being pushed out, at the same time as the latch member is blocked in the locked position. When the slide is pushed in further the latch member and the slide are unlocked so that the slide handle is accessible for pulling out the apparatus.
