An injector/ejector mechanism with a lever pivotally connected to a module faceplate to pivot about a pivot axis. The lever has a handle extending away from the faceplate, and a latch portion extending away from the faceplate in a direction opposite the handle portion. The latch portion includes a first tooth and a second tooth, the first tooth being positioned farther from the faceplate than is the second tooth, The lever is movable between a first position in which the first tooth extends laterally from the pivot axis by a limited first amount, and a second position in which the first tooth extends laterally from the pivot axis by a greater second amount, and the lever is spring biased toward the first position.

[ I claim:] [1.] A modular electronic instrument system comprising:a mainframe having at least top, bottom and rear members and an open frontal area, the mainframe defining a chamber having an interior surface;a plurality of module slots extending into the mainframe chamber from the open frontal area to the rear member;a plurality of electronic connectors connected to the interior surface;the module slots of the mainframe including a rigid rail;a plurality of electronic modules adapted for insertion into respective module slots in electrical communication with the mainframe connectors, each module including a housing containing an electronic component and having a face plate having a front side facing away from the housing, and a rear side facing the connectors;each module having a spring-biased pivoting lever connected to the face plate and registered with the rail when the module is installed in the mainframe;each lever being pivotally mounted to pivot about a pivot axis positioned on the rear side of the face plate, and having a handle extending from the front side of the face plate;each lever having a pair of laterally extending teeth defining a gap adapted for receiving at least a portion of the rail when the module is fully installed;the lever being movable between a first medial position and a second lateral position, at least a portion of a first one of the teeth being positioned rearwardly of the pivot axis when the lever is in the lateral position; andthe lever being spring biased toward the lateral position such that the first tooth is maintained clear of the rail during installation of the module.
