Abstract:
A self-locking front panel is provided that includes a base plate and first and second retaining members. The first retaining member extends from a back side of the base plate and terminates in a first retaining portion. The first retaining portion has a first rounded portion that bulges out in a direction of a first end edge of the base plate. The second retaining member also extends from the back side of the base plate a select distance from the first retaining member. The second retaining member terminates in a second retaining portion. The second retaining portion has a second rounded portion that bulges out in a direction of a second end edge of the base plate. The first and second retaining members are made of a resilient material that flexes under a load and returns to an original position when the load is removed. Other embodiments are disclosed.
