Abstract: An expansion unit (24) that adds functions to a main computer unit (12) connects to it without cabling. The main unit (12) rests on the expansion unit, and electrical connections between the two units are thereby made automatically by complementary connectors (36, 134) on the upper surface (22) of the expansion unit and the lower surface (20) of the main unit. To insure engagement of the connectors, which the user cannot see when the main unit (12) is placed on the expansion unit (24), locating pins (26, 28) are provided on the upper surface (22) of the expansion unit (24), and guide surfaces (52, 60) guide the pins (26, 28) into the proper position as the main unit is being lowered. The two units (12, 24) are thereby properly positioned with respect to each other. To accommodate tolerances in the positioning of the connectors within the unit, the connector (36) on the expansion unit (24) is allowed to move slightly with respect to the main unit ( 12), and further guide surfaces (66) guide the connector (36) on the expansion unit (24) into engagement with the connector (134) in the main unit (12).

Abstract: A low clearance door assembly is provided which is suitable for a variety of applications. The assembly includes an easily operated door which has two guide pins extending from each end. Guide members provide slots in which the pins ride. A spring, connected between one of the pins and the adjacent guide member, assists the user in opening and closing the door. In addition, a detent disposed in one of the slots prevents the door from opening as a result of bumping.

Abstract: Described are a method and apparatus for keeping a power cord plugged into a plug receptacle. A bracket has a plurality of sidewalls that define an opening sized to frame the plug receptacle of an electronics housing. A first sidewall has an opening therein and a second sidewall has a lock mechanism. The bracket is coupled to the electronics housing so that the first and second sidewalls of the bracket are on opposite sides of the plug receptacle. A cable tie is coupled at the first end to an anchor point near the first sidewall of the bracket. The cable tie has sufficient length to extend from the anchor point through the opening in the first sidewall of the bracket and, after looping around a cord of a power cord that is plugged into the plug receptacle, to couple at the second end to the lock mechanism of the second sidewall of the bracket.

Abstract: A mechanical insertion/ejection lever device is provided for use in mounting a printed circuit board (PCB) into an electrical receptacle secured to a housing. Two lever members are pivotally mounted at or near the rear edge of a PCB, adjacent the corners. As the PCB is manually inserted into the housing unit, the lever members engage part of the housing. Rotation of the lever members causes a proportional linear motion of the PCB into engagement of the receptacle, overcoming frictional resistance of the electrical connectors. The lever members are rotatable through an arc of motion which corresponds to moving the PCB a linear distance sufficient to compensate for all accumulated manufacturing tolerances while fully seating the PCB within the receptacle. The lever members adjustably lock to retain the PCB in a fully seated position. The lever members also eject the PCB from the receptacle upon rotation in an opposite direction.

Abstract: Described is a lever-and-spring assembly for an electronic module. The electronic module has a flange extending from one of its sides. The lever-and-spring assembly has a lever coupled to the flange at a pivot point about which the lever-and-spring assembly can pivot. The lever-and-spring assembly also has a leaf spring with a base portion and a spring portion extending from an edge of the base portion and bending back over the base portion. The lever is disposed between the base portion and the spring portion. The base portion is affixed to the lever. The spring portion bends back over the lever. The flange slides closely between the spring portion and the lever when the lever-and-spring assembly pivots towards a closed position.
