Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A device carrier mechanism configured for attachment to an electronic device such as a hard disk drive includes a pair of rotatable handles interlocked at a common first pivot at a proximal end of each handle and a respective second pivot at a distal end, a pair of pin mechanisms each coupled at the second pivot of a respective handle and having a protruding latch pin, and a frame with which each pin mechanism is translatably coupled. Such a linkage system operates as an over-center mechanism, in a device handling state responsive to an upward handling force and with the latch pins in a retracted position within the frame, a neutral state with the latch pins in an extended position extending external to the frame, and a locked over-center state with the latch pins clamped in the extended position for locking into a data storage system.
