  • Patent number: 11744032
    Abstract: A carrying structure including a carrying main body, two engaging components, two driven linkages, and a driving linkage is provided. The carrying main body is adapted to carry an expansion card. The two engaging components are disposed on opposite ends of the carrying main body, each of the engaging components is adapted to be actuated to an engaging state for being engaged to a server main body, and each of the engaging components is adapted to be actuated to a releasing state for being separated from the server main body. The two driven linkages are respectively connected to the two engaging components. The driving linkage is connected between the two driven linkages and adapted to drive the two engaging components to be simultaneously actuated between the engaging state and the releasing state by the two driven linkages. In addition, a server having the carrying structure is also provided.

  • Patent number: 11106253
    Abstract: A frame module is provided, which is adapted to connect to an object unit. The frame module includes a module housing, a latch, and a cover. The object unit is connected to the module housing. The latch is connected to the module housing, which is adapted to be moved between the first latch position and the second latch position. When the latch is in the first latch position, the latch is connected to the object unit to restrict the object unit. When the latch is in the second latch position, the latch is separated from the object unit. The cover pivots on the module housing, which is adapted to be rotated between the first cover orientation and the second cover orientation. When the cover is in the first cover orientation, the cover presses the latch and keeps the latch in the first latch position.

  • Patent number: 8848382
    Abstract: The instant disclosure relates to a data access module, which includes a plurality of data access devices, a circuit board defining a plurality of holes, a base frame, a plurality of partition panels, a cover frame, and a plurality of locking pieces. The base frame includes a bottom plate and a pair of sidewalls. A plurality of fixing pieces and ridges are formed on the bottom plate. The partition panels are directed along the retrieving direction of the data access devices and fixed on the bottom plate. Each partition panel has a hooking portion for engaging the corresponding hole of the circuit board. The cover frame includes a top plate and a pair of side plates. The locking pieces are rotatably disposed on the cover frame. Each locking piece has a pressing portion selectively pressing against the circuit board. A chassis is also discussed.

  • Patent number: 8756961
    Abstract: A door assembly includes a door base, a door disposed pivotally on the door base for covering openably the door base, and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a first body biased to move relative to the door base in a first direction, a first engaging portion disposed at the first body, a pushing portion disposed at the first body, a second body disposed at the door, and a second engaging portion disposed at the second body. A lock is operable to move the first body relative to the door base in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The first engaging portion is biased to move in the first direction to thereby engage the second engaging portion, so as to lock the door at a locked position for covering the door base.
