  • Patent number: 8830673
    Abstract: A server including a chassis, an electronic module, a fan module and a handle is provided. The chassis has a first wedging portion. The electronic module is disposed in the chassis. The fan module is disposed in the chassis and is adjacent to the electronic module. The handle is pivotally connected to the fan module and has a second wedging portion, and the first wedging portion is used for wedging the second wedging portion. When the handle is rotated, the fan module is moved relatively to the first wedging portion for entering or exiting the chassis.

  • Publication number: 20090027917
    Abstract: The optical fiber indicator light includes a lighting device, an optical fiber and an optical guiding structure. The optical fiber has a first optical fiber point a second optical fiber point. The first optical fiber point is abutted on the lighting device and the second optical fiber point is opposed against the first optical fiber point. The optical guiding structure has a lens, a passage, and an air chamber connected with the passage. The air chamber is located behind the lens. A portion of the optical fiber is contained in the passage, and the second optical fiber point is placed in the air chamber. Light emitted from the optical fiber may be diffused by the air chamber to enlarge visible area of the optical fiber.

  • Patent number: 7438478
    Abstract: A light-guiding device applicable to a panel having at least a through hole includes a sleeve part and a light guide. The sleeve part is able to be mounted on the through hole, and includes a first combining portion and a positioning portion corresponding to the panel for positioning the sleeve portion on the panel. The light guide includes a second combining portion for engaging with the first combining portion, so as to fix the light guide on the panel in cooperation with the sleeve part, allowing an assembling/disassembling process of the light-guiding device to be easily performed.

  • Publication number: 20070031107
    Abstract: A light-guiding structure is proposed, which is applicable to a panel of an electronic device, the panel having a first bonding portion. The light-guiding structure includes a light-guiding base and a plurality of light-guiding poles. The light-guiding base has a second bonding portion for being coupled to the first bonding portion. The light-guiding poles are mounted to the light-guiding base, for guiding light emitted by light source such as a light emitting diode (LED) provided under the panel to a region above the panel. Therefore, assembly and disassembly processes are becoming simple and quick and drawbacks of the conventional technology can be solved.
