  • Publication number: 20050287838
    Abstract: Described is a retainer having a base for attaching to a first circuit board. Opposing spatially separated first and second support members extend from one side of the base. The first support member has a latch portion and a terrace for supporting a portion of a second circuit board thereon. An arm has a free first end with a projection extending therefrom and a second end pivotally attached to the second support member for rotational movement between an open position and a closed position. An intermediate section of the arm latches onto the latch portion when the arm is rotated into the closed position. The free first end of the arm extends beyond the first support member for pressing the projection against a surface of the second circuit board when the intermediate section of the arm is latched onto the latch portion.

  • Publication number: 20050264142
    Abstract: Described is a bezel for an electronics enclosure. The bezel frame includes a frame, first and second plunger mechanisms, a shuttle, and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism has a cam disposed in a path of lateral movement of the first plunger mechanism. The cam is located between that plunger mechanism and a tab of the shuttle. The orientation of the cam determines the extent of lateral movement of the plunger mechanisms. In one orientation, the cam restricts the lateral movement of the first plunger mechanism and urges the shuttle into a position that restricts the lateral movement of the second plunger mechanism. Consequently, neither plunger mechanism is able to move far enough laterally to disengage from a mounting structure.

  • Publication number: 20050135060
    Abstract: Described is a fan assembly constructed to enable fans to be installed and removed from a storage enclosure individually or collectively. The fan assembly has a plurality of fan packs and a support frame that includes a plurality of wells for holding fan packs. Each fan pack includes a fan and a fan mount attached to the fan, and each fan pack is disposed in one of the plurality of wells. A first latch-and-release mechanism secures one of the fan packs to the side walls of the well within which that fan pack is disposed. The first latch-and release mechanism enables that fan pack to be removed individually from the fan assembly. A second latch-and release mechanism secures the support frame to opposing side walls of an enclosure. The second latch-and-release mechanism enables the fan assembly to be removed from the enclosure while populated with the plurality of fan packs.

  • Publication number: 20050006118
    Abstract: Described is an adaptable EMI/RFI shielding for a panel. The shield includes an electrically conductive shield having first and second sides and a gasket attached on the first side at a periphery of the shield. The shield has a slot formed therein. A panel portion has a front wall and side walls defining an interior region. The panel portion also includes a spring receptacle and a snap that each extends substantially perpendicular from the front wall within the interior region. The spring receptacle has a spring inserted therein with a portion of the spring extending out of the spring receptacle. The snap has a hook at one end of the snap. The spring urges against the second side of the shield and the hook enters the slot and catches onto the first side of the shield when the shield is attached to the panel portion.
