  • Patent number: 10490935
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a connector, a chassis main body, and a fixing portion. The connector has a connector main body and an attachment portion which has a hole for attachment. The fixing portion includes a pair of first locking portions and a projecting portion. The pair of first locking portions project from the chassis main body so as to be located on both sides of the connector when the connector is attached, and have a flange respectively which forms a void through which the attachment portion is inserted between the flange and the chassis main body. The projection portion projects from the chassis main body to an insertion path of the connector when the attachment portion is not inserted and is configured to be pushed by the attachment portion to retreat from the insertion path when the attachment portion is inserted.

  • Patent number: 7907405
    Abstract: A cooling unit includes: a heat absorbing section which absorbs heat from a heat-producing element; a heat radiating section which defines a ventilation area and radiates the heat, which is transferred from the heat absorbing section, into air passing through the ventilation area; and a fan having a blowing opening, and blowing air toward the ventilation area from the blowing opening while allowing the air to pass by a predetermined element. The cooling unit further includes: a filter which is detachably installed between the blowing opening and the ventilation area to remove foreign substances present in the air blown to the ventilation area from the blowing opening; and a filter fixing section which is integral with the filter and extended astride the element, while allowing the filter to be removably fixed.

  • Patent number: 7889495
    Abstract: A cooling unit includes: a heat absorbing section which absorbs heat from a heat-producing element; a heat radiating section which defines a ventilation area and radiates the heat into air passing through the ventilation area; and a fan having a blowing opening and blowing air toward the ventilation area from the blowing opening. The blowing opening and the ventilation area are different in size and/or position in a direction intersecting a flow of the air. The cooling unit further includes a filter installed between the blowing opening and the ventilation area to remove foreign substances in the air blown to the ventilation area. The filter has a wall guiding the air to the ventilation area from the blowing opening by connecting the blowing opening and the ventilation area at a part of a portion that is a difference in size and/or position between the blowing opening and the ventilation area.
