Abstract
Abstract A slide mounting for supporting a television chassis in a cabinet and enabling partial withdrawal or complete removal of the chassis for servicing. The mounting comprises a pair of outer members affixed to the cabinet and a pair of inner members attached to opposite ends of the chassis and each having a tongue portion slidably engaging a groove in the corresponding outer member. A spring latch flexibly mounted on each outer member locks the chassis in a normal operating position by engaging a first notch in the corresponding inner member tongue portion. For servicing, the spring latches are manually deflected to disengage the first set of tongue notches, and the chassis is withdrawn until locked in a service position by the spring latches engaging a second set of tongue notches. Complete removal of the chassis is facilitated by deflecting the latch springs sufficiently to engage step portions in the outer members.
