  • Patent number: 12727099
    Abstract: A mounting system includes a first bracket and a second bracket connected together by a hinge. The hinge is configured to allow the second bracket to rotate relative to the first bracket. The mounting system further includes a mounting latch that has an anchor attached to the second bracket, a rail attached to the first bracket, a rigid arm connected to the anchor, and a lever within the rail. The lever is connected to the anchor by the rigid arm. The lever is configured to translate within the rail between a first position, which positions the rigid arm relative to the anchor so that the second bracket can rotate to be planar to the first bracket, and a second position, which positions the rigid arm relative to the anchor so that rigid arm secures the second bracket to be perpendicular to the first bracket.

  • Publication number: 20240302874
    Abstract: A handle assembly includes a bracket, a first handle movably coupled to the bracket, and a second handle movably coupled to the bracket. The bracket can be movably coupled to a housing of a computing device. The first handle is movable between an insertion orientation and an ejection orientation. The second handle is movable between a locked orientation and an unlocked orientation and includes a locking structure to lock the expansion card within the housing. When the bracket is coupled to the housing, movement of the first handle between the insertion orientation and the ejection orientation causes the bracket and the second handle to move linearly within the housing. Movement of the second handle between the locked orientation and the unlocked orientation causes the locking structure to move between a locked position and an unlocked position.

  • Patent number: 11635791
    Abstract: A partition for separating computer components in an apparatus holding the computer components is provided. The partition includes a body with a first side and a second side; one or more top tabs projecting from both the first side and the second side of the body; one or more bottom tabs projecting from the first side of the body; and one or more bottom protrusions projecting from the second side of the body. The one or more top tabs are secured in a first manner, e.g., through rivets, to a first panel of the apparatus. The one or more bottom tabs are secured in the first manner to a second panel of the apparatus. The one or more bottom protrusions are secured in a second manner to the second panel of the apparatus, e.g., tucking a protrusion under the second panel. The features allow different-sized compartments for different storage form factors.
