Abstract

See full text

Apparatuses and systems described herein provide hood latch designs for removable hoods of chassis of computing devices. A hood latch for the removable hood of a chassis includes an actuator that has an oblong aperture. A direction of a long dimension of the oblong aperture is offset from an actuator-open direction by an acute angle. A pin rigidly attached to a base portion of the chassis rests in the oblong aperture. When the actuator moves from an actuator-closed position to an actuator-open position, the actuator pushes against the pin and the pin slides from a pin-closed position within the aperture to a pin-open position within the aperture. Since the pin is rigidly attached to the chassis and the hood latch is affixed to the hood, hood slides from a hood-closed position to a hood-open position as the actuator moves from the actuator-closed position to the actuator-open position.
