摘要： A hard disk drive bracket includes a bezel, a lever arm attached to the bezel rotatably between a closed position against the bezel and an open position apart from the bezel, wherein a hard disk drive is locked into the hard disk drive bracket when the lever arm is in the closed position, and a multifunction wireform, wherein the multifunction wireform latches the lever arm in the closed position and releases the lever arm into the open position. The hard disk drive bracket may include a release button, wherein the multifunction wireform releases the lever arm upon pressing of the release button. The multifunction wireform may hold and bias the release button. A method of operating a hard disk drive bracket includes disposing a multifunction wireform into a bezel; attaching a lever arm to the bezel rotatably between a closed position and an open position; latching a lever arm against the bezel in the closed position and releasing the latched lever arm into the open position based on operation of the multifunction wireform. The method may include holding and biasing a release button by the multifunction wireform.

摘要： A technique for minimizing the height of a portable PC comprising a lid and a base when the lid is in a closed position is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the lid of the PC is rotatably connected to the base in such a manner that, when the lid is in a closed position, a bezel for retaining a display within the lid depresses one or more keys positioned along the periphery of a keyboard disposed on the base, thereby reducing the height of the PC in an amount equal to the distance the keys are depressed. In one embodiment, the keys depressed by the bezel are only depressed so far as to leave a slight gap between the top surfaces of the nondepressed keys and the surface of the display, thereby preventing the nondepressed keys from scratching the surface of the display. In an alternative embodiment, the display is fabricated from or coated with a scratch-resistant material. In this embodiment, the gap between the keys and the display may be eliminated such that the display is permitted to contact, and perhaps partially depress, the keys that are not in contact with the bezel, thereby further minimizing the height of the PC.

摘要翻译： 公开了一种当盖处于关闭位置时使包括盖和基座的便携式PC的高度最小化的技术。 在优选实施例中，PC的盖子可旋转地连接到基座上，使得当盖子处于关闭位置时，用于保持盖子内的显示器的边框压下一个或多个沿着 设置在基座上的键盘，从而将PC的高度减小到等于键被按压的距离的量。 在一个实施例中，由边框压下的按键仅被压下，以至于在非按压键的顶表面和显示器的表面之间留下微小的间隙，从而防止非压迫键划伤显示器的表面。 在替代实施例中，显示器由抗刮擦材料制成或涂覆。 在该实施例中，可以消除键和显示器之间的间隙，使得允许显示器接触并可能部分地按压与框架不接触的键，从而进一步使PC的高度最小化。

摘要： A computer enclosure for enclosing electrical devices comprises a chassis having a bottom panel and a pair of side panels with a reduced height portion adjacent to a rear panel. The rear panel includes a wing fixedly attached to the reduced height portion and is coplanar to the side panel. The reduced height portion defines a recess. A spring latch extends downward and outward from the wing portion of the rear panel. A cover is detachably assembled to the chassis having a top panel and a pair of side panels corresponding to the side panels of the chassis. The cover includes a latch plate received in the recessed portion of the reduced height portion and engaged with the spring latch and a hook is interlocked to a planar portion of the reduced height portion when the cover is assembled to the chassis.
