摘要:
A docking apparatus for printed circuit boards including a cassette housing defining a housing cavity for containing a printed circuit board (PCB) and a linkage mechanism associated with the cassette housing. The linkage mechanism includes a linkage arm pivotally connected to the cassette housing via a pivot and has a first arm pivotally connected to the PCB, a traveler having a threaded bore therethrough connected to a second arm extending from the first arm, a shaft threadedly engaged in the left handed threaded bore through the traveler at a first end defining the shaft, the first end configured to operably transfer axial translation of the shaft to the traveler, and an opposite second end defining the shaft threaded engaged in a right handed threaded bore through a split nut operably secured to the cassette housing. The traveler and nut are configured to threadably receive corresponding threads of the shaft for axial translation of the shaft therethrough, wherein rotation of the shaft translates the shaft causing rapid pivotal movement of the linkage arm about the pivot via the traveler and nut, causing translation of the PCB in and out of engagement with a corresponding connector.

A docking apparatus for printed circuit boards including a cassette housing so as to define a housing cavity for containing a printed circuit board (PCB) and a linkage mechanism disposed so as to be associated with the cassette housing. The linkage mechanism includes a linkage arm pivotally connected to the cassette housing via a pivot and has a first arm pivotally connected to the PCB, a clevis pivotally connected to a second arm extending from the first arm, a shaft extending through an aperture in the clevis at a first end defining the shaft, the first end configured to operably transfer axial translation of the shaft to the clevis, and an opposite second end defining the shaft includes a thread, and a nut operably secured to the cassette housing. The nut is configured to threadably receive the thread for axial translation of the shaft therethrough, wherein rotation of the shaft translates the shaft causing pivotal movement of the linkage arm about the pivot via the clevis causing translation of the PCB in and out of engagement with a corresponding connector.

A snap-fit shield is provided which fits securely within a frame opening, and which shields and grounds the opening while eliminating a need for a complementary connector portion. The shield has an insulative inner housing having a first base wall and a first pair of side walls and end walls extending therefrom defining a first cavity. The shield includes a conductive shell having a second base wall and a second pair of side walls and end walls extending therefrom defining a second cavity. The second pair of side walls and end walls have at least one outward bias positioned thereon. The shield also has an insulative outer housing having a third base wall and a third pair of side walls and end walls extending therefrom defining a third cavity. The outer housing is configured to snap-fit within an opening in a frame so as to shield circuitry internal thereto. The third cavity of the outer housing is configured to receive at least a portion of the conductive shield therein, while the second cavity of the conductive shield is configured to receive the inner housing therein.

An actuation assembly and method is described for a computing environment comprising a main housing and a (first) wedge complementary to the main housing. This wedge is connected to the housing at least partially such that this wedge and the main housing form a unitary housing entity. The wedge is also formed such as to house a lead screw on one of its sides. A plurality of slide mechanisms is also provided. The slide mechanism is connected to opposing sides of the main housing and the wedge. A drive wedge is also provided. The drive wedge is connected to the main housing and the first wedge and formed such that it can be moved from a first position to a second position via a lead screw.

A load balancing method and incorporated assembly is provided for a computer frame having side walls. The assembly comprises a mid-plane plate having top and bottom sides and capable of being secured to the frames inside side walls. The mid-plane plate also has means both on its top and bottom sides for securing a number of electronic books in such a manner that they can be stacked on top of or adjacent to one another. A locking mechanism can also be provided as part of the assembly or alone to further secure the electronic books to the frame.

A method and incorporated assembly for enhancing structural rigidity of a computer rack used for housing electronic components is provided. In one embodiment, the assembly comprises a casing made of a lighter weight material and having protrusions. The protrusions are formed to receive one or more ruggedized inserts that is made of a heavier and/or stiffer material. The casing and the inserts together can be then used as a ruggedized side of a computer rack or cage.

A method and incorporated assembly is provided that can be quickly assembled and disassembled inside side racks used for purpose of housing computer systems. The assembly comprises a plurality of side plates that can be secured to inside rack sides, preferably through flexible flanges, a plurality of top and bottom plates that can be secured to the side plates, and a mid-plate is disposed substantially horizontally between the top and bottom plates. Alternately, the assembly can also comprise at least one rear plate that can be secured to the side plates to provide a third side for the assembly. In one embodiment, the rear plates have openings designed to allow for front to back air flow ventilation. In another embodiment the assembly further comprises at least one divider plate, and preferably a plurality of divider plates, that can be secured to the top and bottom and/or mid-plate(s). In such a case, the divider plates are disposed above and/or below the mid-plate and preferably each comprise of upper and lower divider plates.

An actuation device includes a frame, a linkage mechanism and a handle mechanism. The handle mechanism includes a handle and a connection link, each having a first end and an opposite second end. The first end of the handle is pivotally connected to the frame. The first end of the connection link is pivotally connected to the handle and the second end of the connection link is pivotally connected to the linkage mechanism. Movement of the second end of the handle rotates the handle about an axis determined by a connection point of the first end of the handle to the frame and results in movement of the connection link in a first direction causing translation of the linkage mechanism in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction to mechanically and electrically connect a power supply to an outside circuit through an opening of the frame.
