  • Patent number: 8050051
    Abstract: A container assembly for accommodating an electronic device in a panel, includes: a retainer attached to the panel; a cover with the electronic device attached thereto pivotably attached to the retainer, and pivotable between an open position and a closed position; a lock for locking the cover at the closed position; a gear damper; a rotating shelf attached to the cover and sandwiching the electronic device with the cover, a rack formed on the rotating shelf configured for engaging with the gear damper; and an elastic support sandwiched between the retainer and the rotating shelf for biasing the cover to the open position via restoring force of the elastic support; wherein the gear damper depresses the restoring force of the elastic support.

  • Patent number: 7916466
    Abstract: A computer enclosure includes an inner chassis, an input/output (I/O) module defining a number of I/O interfaces, a latching unit attached to the inner chassis, a resilient member connected between the I/O module and the inner chassis, a gear rack attached to the I/O module, and a damping gear assembly attached to the inner chassis and engaging with the gear rack. The I/O module is pivotably mounted to the inner chassis. The latching unit is capable of keeping the I/O module at a closed position where the I/O interfaces of the I/O module are unexposed. A movement of the I/O module is restrained by the damping gear.

  • Patent number: 7746625
    Abstract: A computer front bezel includes a main body, a sliding cover, and two elastic members. The main body defines two substantially opposite sliding grooves. The sliding cover includes two posts slidably received in the sliding grooves of the main body respectively. The two elastic members are connected to the sliding cover and the main body. One end of each of the elastic members is rotatably connected to the main body, and the other end of each of the elastic members is rotatably connected to the sliding cover. The sliding cover is capable of moving between a first, a second and a third state. The first state is that the sliding cover is in a closed position and the two posts are approximately located at first end of the grooves. The second state is that the sliding cover is between the first and third state, and the elastic members exert more force than when the sliding cover is in the first or third state.
