  • Patent number: 9485886
    Abstract: A drive module is inserted into an extraction opening of a server and includes a casing, a circuit board, a fixing member fixed on the casing, a plurality of drives, and a cover having a clamping portion and forming a space cooperatively with the casing. The fixing member has engaging and pressing arms. The engaging arm is engaged with the circuit board when the clamping portion and the casing clamp the circuit board. The pressing arm has a hole for engaging with a protruding portion of the server to fix the drive module. The plurality of drives is inserted into the space and plugged into the circuit board. When the pressing arm is pulled toward a first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction, the hole is disengaged from the protruding portion or the pressing arm drives the engaging arm to be separate from the circuit board.

  • Patent number: 9192073
    Abstract: A fixing mechanism includes a base, a substrate and a latch. The base includes a constraining component and a contacting component. The substrate is slidably disposed on the base. The substrate includes a body, a fixing hole structure and a connecting portion. The base and the body respectively hold circuit boards. The fixing hole structure is disposed on the body for sheathing the constraining component. The fixing hole structure includes a first opening and a second opening, the second opening is connected to the first opening in a linearly stretching manner. The latch is rotatably disposed on the substrate. The latch includes a bar and a driving portion. The driving portion is disposed on an end of the bar and movably contacts against the contacting component. The driving portion slides relative to the contacting component with rotation of the bar to connect the connectors of the circuit boards.

  • Patent number: 9155218
    Abstract: A frame structure of an electronic apparatus for containing a plurality of power supply units is disclosed. The frame structure includes a main frame, a tray, and at least one elastic element. The tray includes at least one fixing portion and is connected pivotally to the main frame to be in a first position or a second position. One end of each elastic element is fixed to the main frame, and the other end of each elastic element includes a fastening structure. When the tray is in the first position, each fixed portion is between the main frame and each elastic element. When the power supply units are placed into the main frame, each elastic element is pushed by the power supply units, and each fastening structure passes through the fixing portion and the main frame, for fixing the tray in the first position.

  • Publication number: 20150091423
    Abstract: A carrying device and a self-lock structure thereof are provided, which are adapted for a server to bear a human-computer interface device. The carrying device includes a carrying-component and a receiving cage. The self-lock structure consists of a cantilever fixed on the carrying component and an interference portion formed on the receiving cage. A structural interference is generated between a protruding portion formed on the cantilever and a lock slot formed in the interference portion while the carrying-component being inserted to the receiving cage. The cantilever may generate a corresponding elastic force to serve as power resource for self-locking, thereby the functions of self-locking and overload protection are achieved.

  • Publication number: 20150020357
    Abstract: A tool set includes a disassembling tool and an elastic pin having a disassembly end and disposed through first and second parts. The disassembling tool includes a T-shaped rod and a sleeve member having top and bottom ends. The T-shaped rod penetrates the sleeve member and has first and second screw-rod portions and a handle portion. The first screw-rod portion is screwed into a connecting thread in the disassembly end for fixing the elastic pin to the first screw-rod portion. When the sleeve member is pressed to make the bottom end abut against the first and second parts, the handle portion is rotated in a spiral direction of the connecting thread opposite to that of a guiding thread in the top end to make the second screw-rod portion unscrewed from the sleeve member along the guiding thread for rotating the elastic pin out of the first and second parts.

  • Patent number: 8739640
    Abstract: A pull test apparatus includes a base, a tension meter and a linkage assembly. An object is adapted to be fixed at the base. The tension meter is movably disposed at the base and adapted to connect a handle of the object. The linkage assembly includes an elastic element and a positioning element. The elastic element is connected between the base and the tension meter. When the tension meter resists the elastic force of the elastic element to move to a first position, the positioning element positions the tension meter. When the positioning element releases the tension meter, the tension meter moves toward a second position by means of the elastic force of the elastic element so as to drive the handle closed at a main body of the object to be unfolded from the main body, wherein the first position is between the object and the second position.
