  • Modular cam system
    Patent number: 9483072
    Abstract: A cam system includes a beam including a plurality of coupling features. A first handle is operable to be coupled to the beam using the coupling features. A plurality of cam elements are each operable to be coupled to the beam at different locations along the beam using the coupling features. A plurality of cam brackets are each operable to be mounted to a first member having a first connector. The coupled-together beam, first handle, and cam elements are operable to be coupled a second member having a second connector such that, with the cam brackets mounted to the first member, the engagement of the cam elements with the cam brackets mate the first connector and the second connector.
    Type: Grant

  • Fan mounting system
    Patent number: 8279596
    Abstract: A fan mounting system includes a fan chassis defining a plurality of fan housings. A guide member is located on the fan chassis. At least one board support member extends from the fan chassis and is operable to extend through a board to engage an Information Handling System (IHS) chassis when the fan chassis is positioned in the IHS chassis. An IHS chassis cover anchor is located on the fan chassis and is operable to engage an IHS chassis cover and secure the IHS chassis cover to the IHS chassis when the fan chassis is coupled to the IHS chassis.
