20090142129 | Apparatus and methods for assembling separate components - Apparatus and methods for assembling together separate components, such as a first substantially flat sheet metal component to a second substantially flat sheet metal component, in substantially perpendicular relationship. A first latch component body may have an elongated displaceable latch member provided on a first edge of the first latch component body that is configured to be received and latchably retained within a latch reception opening of a second latch component body that is of complementary shape and dimensions to receive the displaceable latch member. The displaceable latch member may be displaced to an extended position while inserted within the latch reception opening to extend a first latch extension surface of the displaceable latch member outwardly and away from a second latch extension surface of the displaceable latch member such that the first latch extension surface latchably engages a first latch retention surface of the latch reception opening and such that the second latch extension surface latchably engages a second latch retention surface of the latch reception opening to latch the first latch component body to the second latch component body. | 06-04-2009 |
20110096490 | Peripheral Device Carrying Apparatus and Systems - A peripheral device assembly is disclosed wherein the assembly includes a device bay for receiving a peripheral device carrier. An interior side surface of the device bay defines at least one extrusion portion surrounding a hole for receiving a first end of a lever arm of the peripheral device carrier, and the extrusion portion comprises edges protruding from the interior side surface of the device bay toward an exterior side surface of the device bay. | 04-28-2011 |
20110310546 | EMI Shielding Scheme Using Sandwiched Sheet Metal - A peripheral card EMI shielding scheme which comprises a sandwich of three layers. The first layer comprises a chassis rear wall (e.g., constructed of sheet metal). The next layer, which in certain embodiments is the middle of the sandwich, comprises a relatively thin plate (e.g., 0.15 mm+/−0.1 mm) with spring arms. The third layer comprises a sheet metal plate (in certain embodiments, the third layer has a similar thickness to the rear wall). The thick sheet metal plate completely covers the thin plate, except for areas where the spring arms protrude. The three plates are staked together by a method similar to an extrude-and-roll process (e.g., where one piece is fastened to another without the need for additional hardware or welding). | 12-22-2011 |
20140084763 | Assembly for Server Rack Chassis - An assembly includes an enclosure and a guide rail. The enclosure includes first and second top portions, first and second side portions, and a bottom portion, and is a single piece of material such that the first top portion, the first side portion, the bottom portion, the second side portion, and the second top portion are continuous portions of the single piece of material. The guide rail is attached to the first and second top portions of the enclosure, to join the first and second top portions together, and to align the assembly within a server rack chassis. | 03-27-2014 |
