20130052840 | SOCKET ASSEMBLY - A socket assembly includes a base and a number of sockets. The base includes a bottom wall and two sidewalls. A conductive base is formed on the bottom wall and forms at least two conductive pieces parallel to the sidewalls. An extension plate extends from the top of one of the sidewalls toward the other sidewall. A number of cutouts are defined in the bottom surface of the extension plate. Each socket includes a main body and a fixing member mounted on the top of the main body. The manipulation of the fixing member allows the repositioning of a socket within the base, or the removal of a socket. | 02-28-2013 |
20130065432 | FIXING APPARATUS FOR CONNECTOR - A fixing apparatus for fixing a connector includes a protrusion, a fixing plate, and a fastener. The protrusion protrudes from the connector, and is located at a side of the connecting portion. The protrusion includes a head portion and a pin connected between the head portion and the connector. The fixing plate defines an opening, a first hole, a second hole communicating with the first hole, and a positioning hole. The fastener is fixed to the connector and includes an extendable shaft. When the connecting portion extends through the opening, the protrusion extends through the first hole, and the shaft abuts against the fixing plate. The connector is moved to allow the pin to enter the second hole. The head portion is blocked by the fixing plate. The shaft engages in the positioning hole. | 03-14-2013 |
20130082930 | KEYBOARD - A keyboard includes a keyboard body and a block rotatably connected to the keyboard body. The keyboard body defines a receiving space for receiving a mouse pad. The receiving space extends through an end surface of the keyboard body. The block is operable to rotate into the receiving space to block the mouse pad. | 04-04-2013 |
20130164122 | FASTENER AND FAN ASSEMBLY USING THE SAME - A fan assembly includes a fan including a board defining a number of through hole, a dustproof member attached to an outer surface of the board, and a number of fasteners. The dustproof member defines a number of fixing legs. Each fastener includes a head abutted against a corresponding one of the fixing legs such that the corresponding leg is sandwiched by the head and the outer surface of the board, a pole extending from a side surface of the head to extend into a corresponding one of the holes, a hook extending in the same direction as the pole from an edge of the head, a projection extending toward the pole from a distal end of the hook and engaged with an inner surface of the board opposite to the outer surface. | 06-27-2013 |
20130166956 | DIAGNOSTIC CARD FOR RECORDING REBOOT TIMES OF SERVERS - A diagnostic card includes a circuit board, a connector, a controller, and a first display. The connector is coupled to a low pin count (LPC) to receive a reset signal outputted by a basic input output system as a server reboots. The controller is configured to record the total number of reboot times of the server and displays the total number of reboot times on the first display area. | 06-27-2013 |
20130176697 | ATTACHMENT MECHANISM FOR ELECTRONIC COMPONENT - An attachment mechanism for fastening an electronic component includes a circuit board and a fastener. The circuit board includes a first connector to connect with a second connector of the electronic component. A mounting hole is defined beside the first connector. The fastener includes a supporting plate. A bottom of the supporting plate includes a first protrusion abutting against a top of the circuit board, and a second protrusion deformably extending through the mounting hole to abut against a bottom of the circuit board. A top of the supporting plate includes a supporting protrusion. A pair of spaced engaging portions protrudes from a top of the supporting protrusion. The engaging portions extend through the mounting hole to allow the electronic component to be supported on the supporting protrusion. | 07-11-2013 |
20130250537 | MOUNTING APPARATUS FOR MEMORY CARD - A latching apparatus for a memory card includes a socket and a pair of latching members assembled on opposite ends of the socket. A cutout is defined in each end of the memory card. Each latching member includes a main body, two pivoting portions extending from opposite ends of the main body for pivotably attaching the latch member to one end of the socket, and a C-shaped locking portion extending down from a middle portion of the main body. The insertion of the memory card in the socket causes the bottom edge of the memory card to engage with distal ends of the locking portions and so rotate the latch member, until the main bodies of the latching members engage in the cutouts of the memory card. | 09-26-2013 |
