  • Patent number: 9854908
    Abstract: A mounting mechanism which can be mounted to holes with different shapes includes an installation member, a locating member, and a clamping member. The locating member includes a first locating pillar with one end fixed to the installation member and a second locating pillar fixed to an opposite end of the first locating pillar. A floating pillar is sheathed on the second locating pillar and one end of the floating pillar is elastically connected to the installation member. The clamping member is opposite to the locating member to form a clamping part together with the locating member. The floating pillar is moveable between a first position, where the floating pillar shields the second locating pillar and a second position where the floating pillar exposes the second locating pillar. A sliding rail is further disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9844162
    Abstract: A sliding rail fixing structure in a server includes a sliding rail, a fastening plate with a fastening seat, and a clip. The fastening plate defines a restriction hole. The fastening seat includes a supporting member. The supporting member passes through the restriction hole to be positioned at a side of the fastening seat. A size of the supporting member matches a size of an installing hole defined on a pillar. The supporting member is positioned in the installing hole when the pillar is positioned at the side of the fastening seat. The clip can rotate on the fastening seat and includes a hook portion. The hook portion hooks onto the pillar to assemble the pillar to the sliding rail fixing structure. When the clip rotates through a preset angle, the hook portion moves away from the pillar to disassemble the pillar.

  • Patent number: 8807351
    Abstract: A demountable mounting apparatus for fixing a slide rail to a post includes a mounting bracket secured to the slide rail, a coupling member fixed to the mounting bracket, a latch member rotatably mounted to the mounting bracket, and a restoring member between the latch member and the mounting bracket. The coupling member includes an inserting pin extending into the through hole of the post, and defining a receiving slot. The latch member includes an arm to be received in the receiving slot of the inserting pin, and a hook protruding from the arms. The latch member is locked in a position by the hooks engaging the far surface of the post. A rotation of latch member makes the hooks disengage from the post, thereby allowing the release of the slide rail from the post. The restoring member biases the latch member to the locked position.

  • Publication number: 20120183242
    Abstract: A slide rail assembly includes a first slide member, and a second slide member. The first slide member defines an opening. The second slide member forms a cantilevered resilient arm extending forwards. An engaging portion is formed on a distal end of the resilient arm. When the second slide member is received in the first slide member, the engaging portion is pressed by the first slide member to deform the resilient arm away from the first slide member. When the second slide member is slid forwards to be out of the first slide member, the resilient arm is restored to allow the engaging portion to engage with a section of the first slide member bounding a front end of the opening, to prevent the second slide member from sliding out of the first slide member.

  • Patent number: 7463038
    Abstract: A slant detection device is used for detecting whether the to-be-tested pin of a connector is slanted. The connector has a socket. The to-be-tested pin is disposed in the socket. The detection device includes a detector and a sensor. The detector includes a body, a first protrusion and a second protrusion. The first and second protrusions are protruded from one side of the body for being inserted into the socket. The first and second protrusions are spaced to define a gap. The width of the gap is greater than the width of the to-be-tested pin. If the pin is normal, the to-be-tested pin is inserted into the gap. If the to-be-tested pin is slanted, the to-be-tested pin touches the first or second protrusion to cause a short circuit. The sensor is electrically connected to the detector, for outputting a sensing signal when sensing the short circuit.
