  • Set of structural brackets that allow electronic/electrical assemblies to be mounted within a computer enclosure
    Patent number: 5062016
    Abstract: A method that allows a disk-drive/controller card mounting bracket (12) and a slotted hang bracket (14) to increase the overall power and efficiency of a computer. The bracket (12) is used to mount a 3.5-inch Winchester drive (60) and its controller interface card (50) to form a composite assembly (16). The assembly is then plugged into an existing bus connector, located within a computer enclosure to increase the computer's memory capacity. The bracket (14) allows one or more circuit card assemblies (80) or electrical equipment i.e., a cooling fan or disk drive to be mounted in a cantilever fashion within the computer. The two brackets (12), (14) are designed to increase the computer's power and efficiency by using the existing but limited space within the computer enclosure.
