摘要:
A circuit card retention device includes a longitudinal retention bar hinge-mounted to a support member of a computer enclosure or chassis. First and second hand-releasable lock members are attached to the retention bar at either end. Each lock member includes a flexible stop. When the retention bar is in a retaining position, the flexible stops engage a substantially rigid surface of the enclosure or chassis, keeping the bar in the retaining position. The flexible stops may be disengaged from the rigid surface by application of finger pressure, allowing the retention bar to pivot from the retaining position to an open position.

A one-piece expansion card retainer may be installed in either of two positions to accommodate both full-height and low-profile expansion cards. The bi-positional expansion card retainer exerts flexional force on an expansion card to help maintain the expansion card in its proper position during shipment of an electronic device.

In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a system for shielding electromagnetic energy. The system comprises an electromagnetic interference (EMI) gasket comprising at least one longitudinal member that is operable to exert a spring force upon deflection and at least one lance member; and a chassis comprising a lip member, the lip member being operable to accept the EMI gasket, a base member that is operable to deflect the at least one longitudinal member when the EMI gasket is placed over the lip member, and a locking member that is adapted to latch the at least one lance member in a latched position when the EMI gasket is placed over the lip member, wherein the spring force is operable to retain the at least one lance member in the latched position and the spring force is operable to facilitate electrical contact between the base member and the EMI gasket.

Disclosed is a mounting bracket for a device comprising a resiliently-deformable surface, having a deforming element disposed therein, and a pair of attachment members disposed on opposite sides of and attached to the surface. The attachment members of the mounting bracket are adapted to interface with the device upon deformation of the deforming element.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a bracket system for mounting a device bracket within an assembly comprising a plurality of chassis brackets, a mounting bracket assembly and a chassis base with a plurality of tabs. The chassis brackets have slots and the brackets are attached to the chassis base of the assembly. The mounting bracket assembly has a plurality of tapered mounting bracket assembly slots, and a plurality of horizontally-protruding pegs.
