    Abstract: An integrated latch apparatus for a securing and releasing computer equipment from a chassis includes a support bracket, a rotating shaft, a sliding plate having a latching extension, and a handle having a rotating end. The handle is secured at the rotating end to the support bracket about the rotating shaft. The rotating end of the handle includes nudging extensions. A torsion spring is disposed on the rotating shaft such that the torsion spring biases the support bracket against the handle such that the handle is in an open position when the torsion spring is extended towards an equilibrium state and in a closed position when the torsion spring is biased toward a fully compressed state. The nudging extensions engage and laterally move a sliding plate when the handle is rotated between the open position and the closed position.

    Abstract: A system for mounting a telecommunication device to a pole comprises a pole-mount kit and a first bracket. The pole-mount kit has first and second clamps for engaging opposite sides of the pole. The pole-mount kit has threaded fasteners extending through openings in the first and second clamps such that a first one of the threaded fasteners is on one side of the pole, and a second one of the threaded fasteners is on the other side of the pole. The threaded fasteners retain the first and second clamps in a fixed engagement on the pole. The first clamp has at least one bore extending through the first clamp in a direction that is transverse to the openings. The first bracket is fixed to the first clamp via a first clamp fastener that extends through the bore. The first bracket is used for mounting the telecommunication device.

    Abstract: An internal support bracket for a power switch includes a bottom support and a top cover. The top cover is secured to the bottom support. The combined bottom support and top cover define an aperture for securing the power switch. The bottom support includes a bottom surface with a ridge protruding therefrom. A method of securing a power switch to the interior of a computer chassis includes connecting a base support including a channel to an interior wall of the computer chassis. A power switch is positioned between a top cover and a separate bottom support. The separate bottom support includes a ridge protruding from a bottom surface. The top cover is secured to the separate bottom support. The ridge of the separate bottom support is slid into the channel such that the internal support bracket including the power switch is secured in a locked position.

    Abstract: A chassis for a computing device includes a base component and a top cover. The base component includes guide slots therein. The top cover includes stamped protrusions extending from one or more side slider structures. The slider structurers extend downwardly from a top surface of the top cover. The stamped protrusions are unitary one-piece structures with the one or more side slider structures. The stamped protrusions correspond to respective guide slots of the base component such that the stamped protrusions are positioned in corresponding guide slots when the base component and the top cover are in a mating position.

    Abstract: A system is disclosed that is configured to secure a connection between a component and at least one wire, such as an antenna, within a computer. The system includes a retainer configured to move between a first position and a second position. The retainer in the first position is configured to secure a connection between at least one connector of the component and the at least one wire within the computer. The retainer in the second position is configured to permit release of the connection between the at least one connector of the component and the at least one wire within the computer, such as by providing access to the connection.

    Abstract: Extendable lever arms can be used to facilitate insertion and removal of a sled into and out of a chassis. Each extendable lever can include a rotatable body, a primary arm, and a secondary arm. The rotatable body can be rotatably coupled to the housing of the sled, and can optionally include latching elements to secure the sled within the chassis, as well as optional removal features to facilitate disengaging the sled from the chassis. The secondary arm can be coupled to the primary arm to move between a retracted position and an extended position. When in the retracted position, the secondary arm can be positioned adjacent to the primary arm to avoid blocking access to ports of the sled. When in the extended position, however, the secondary arm can be positioned to provide a longer lever arm to facilitate insertion and removal of the sled.

    Abstract: An M.2 fastening system has an M.2 riser card with two module-receiving sides and a plurality of adjustment positions. The M.2 fastening system further has a pair of M.2 fasteners mounted respectively on the module-receiving sides. Each M.2 fastener has a main body defined by a top surface and a bottom surface; a module attachment extending from the top surface; and a hook extending from the bottom surface along a lateral side of the main body. The hook of one of the M.2 fasteners is received through an attachment aperture of an adjustment position. The hook is pressed-fit over the top surface of the main body of another M.2 fastener. The hook secures the M.2 riser card between the pair of M.2 fasteners in a tool-less manner.
