In a CRT display device system, an upper assembly, including the display device, is tiltable on a supporting base assembly. A gear segment at each end of the upper assembly rests on a pair of pinions on the base assembly. The radius of curvature of each gear segment is centered on a horizontal line passing across the display device and through or near the center of gravity of the upper assembly. As the upper assembly is tilted, it pivots about this line and therefore remains substantially in balance for all angles of tilt. To provide static rest pressure to prevent unwanted tilting movement and also to minimize backlash, the pinions in each pair are coupled together through an idler pinion.

This invention relates to enclosures for microcomputers, and more particularly to such an enclosure which facilitates access to and shielding of the operative components of a personal computer. The enclosure includes a chassis, a cover for cooperating with the chassis for enclosing a volume to contain operating components of the microcomputer, and interrupted wedge members for coupling the chassis and cover upon relative movement therebetween in a predetermined direction. The interrupted wedge members include a plurality of hooks on one of the chassis and cover and a plurality of pockets on the other, with the hooks and pockets being disposed along two sides of the chassis and cover for entry of hooks into cooperating pockets on movement of the cover into position for cooperation with the chassis in enclosing a volume.

In a low profile microcomputer, adapter cards are mounted horizontally in order to be able to use adapter cards designed for earlier, higher, machines. The cards are coupled to the microcomputer planar board by an extender card which extends vertically from the planar and has sockets extending horizontally when the card is in position. The adapter cards have edge connections which couple to these sockets. A removable bridge device is coupled between the top of the extender card and a vertical wall of the microcomputer to minimize horizontal movement of the extender card. For adapter cards which do not extend fully between the front and rear walls of the microcomputer, a channelled support arm, which fits over an end of a card, and is removably mounted on a vertical wall of the computer for slidable engagement with the card.

An acoustic cooling apparatus for a computing system, includes a cooling muffler comprising sidewalls and an endwall, the sidewalls being substantially parallel to each other, each sidewall being substantially perpendicular to the endwall at one end, the walls forming an enclosure having an open end opposing the endwall. Each sidewall includes an exhaust opening. At least a portion of the interior of each wall of the enclosure being covered by sound absorbing material for attenuating air cooling sound.
