Abstract: An ejector mechanism for removing a computer component from a computer housing is disclosed. The computer component may be an energy storage module that includes a first electrical connector that connects the energy storage module to a second electrical connector on a back plane printed circuit board. The ejector assembly is actuated at a location remote from the energy storage module to engage the energy storage module. The ejector assembly partially ejects the module from the housing and disconnects first and second electrical connector parts.

Abstract: A storage assembly for mounting "0" to "N" storage devices to a computer or electronic system.

Abstract: A containment system for significantly reducing the emission of high frequency electromagnetic waves from a computer system into the external environment. The containment system includes the combination of two enclosures and a shielding assembly. One of the enclosures is associated with the high frequency components and the other with the low frequency components of the computer system. The shielding assembly is positioned between the two enclosures to prevent high frequency electromagnetic waves from passing from one chamber to the other over the connection between the two chambers.

Abstract: In a video display terminal having a housing and a cathode ray tube mounted in the housing, there is provided shift restricting means for applying a selected level of force between mounting ears of the tube and the housing in a direction generally perpendicular to the central axis of the tube. In a preferred embodiment, angle brackets are mounted inside the housing between the enlarged end portion of the cathode ray tube and inside corners of the housing, and lateral force is applied between the angle brackets and the enlarged end portion of the tube for rigidifying the housing. The lateral force is applied by wedges mounted in the brackets for sliding against the mounting ears, and screws are coupled to the brackets for forcing the wedges against the mounting ears.

Abstract: In a shock and vibration isolation system wherein a device having a top, bottom, sides, front and back is mounted on moving isolators between and in spaced relationship to top and bottom members, front operable locking apparatus for releasably holding the device in place against vertical, lateral and longitudinal movement during shipping. A top releasable locking assembly is disposed between the top member and the device and a bottom releasable locking assembly is disposed between the bottom member and the device. Each releasable locking assembly includes a first pivot bar pivotally mounted to the adjacent member and extending perpendicular to and between the sides of the device. An operating arm is attached to one end of the first pivot bar at right angles thereto and disposed so as to pivot in a plane close adjacent and parallel to the side of the device at the end between a first position lying along the adjacent member and a second position angularly disposed with respect to the adjacent member.

Abstract: Shock and vibration isolation mounting apparatus for releasably mounting a computer disk drive, or the like. Two pair of mounting assemblies are used for attaching to the drive and to respective ones of opposed surfaces between which the drive is disposed. One of the pair of mounting assemblies is disposed below the drive with the elastomeric members thereof in compression and the other of the pair of mounting assemblies is disposed above the drive with the elastomeric members thereof in tension. Each of the mounting assemblies comprises a first elongated rigid channel member being U-shaped in cross section and comprising a base separating a pair of parallel spaced sides. The first channel member has a transverse member having a bore therethrough at one end perpendicular to both the base and the sides. The first channel member is adapted for attaching to the disk drive.
