  • Patent number: 11985779
    Abstract: A cartridge-based computing system includes a display stand that connects to a compute module cartridge including a first securing member, a second securing member, and a release member coupled to the second securing member. The display stand defines a securing aperture that engages the first securing member when the compute module cartridge is connected to the display stand, which causes the first securing member to engage a securing element on the display stand and move it into engagement with the second securing member to connect the compute module cartridge to the display stand. The securing element may then be engaged by the release member to move it out of engagement with the second securing member, and into engagement with the first securing member to cause the securing aperture to disengage the first securing member and disconnect the compute module cartridge from the display stand.

  • Patent number: 11599160
    Abstract: A device mounting system includes a device bracket coupled to a device, and a support surface mount coupled to the device bracket. The support surface mount includes a base member mounted to a support surface, a securing member extending from the base member, and a securing latch that is included in the securing member and that moves between a secured orientation in which it engages the device bracket to secure the device bracket to the support surface mount, and an unsecured orientation that allows the device bracket to be decoupled from the support surface mount. A release member in the securing member may be actuated to move the securing latch between the secured and unsecured orientations. A locking element in the securing member may be actuated to prevent movement of the securing latch from the secured to the unsecured orientation to lock the device bracket to the support surface mount.

  • Publication number: 20230049571
    Abstract: Described are a height adjust stand (HAS) for a display and an all in one computing device. The HAS includes a base. A riser assembly connects to the base, and angled greater than 90 degrees from vertical of the HAS. A lift plate in the riser assembly that includes an arm, the arm angled greater than 90 degrees from vertical of the HAS. The lift plate provides vertical travel for the display. A VESA assembly includes a mating component that fits into the opening of the arm. The VESA assembly including an internal hinge that provides tilt for the display. In an all in one computing device, a computing cartridge assembly is snapped into the back of the riser assembly.

  • Patent number: 11449093
    Abstract: A computing device display mounting system includes an offset bracket having a display system mounting member that mounts to a display stand system, and a computing device mounting member that mounts to a computing device. The computing device display mounting system also includes a rotation bracket that is movably coupled to the display system mounting member on the offset bracket such that the rotation bracket is configured to rotate relative to the offset bracket. The rotation bracket includes at least one display mounting element that is coupled to a display. The movable coupling of the rotation bracket to the display system mounting member allows the display to rotate relative to the computing device.
