  • Patent number: 7219866
    Abstract: A clamping device for rigidly securing a web camera, or other object, to a monitor. The clamping device includes a body portion and a clamping portion. Springs are provided within the device that allow the clamping portion to be slid away from the body portion against the bias of the springs. A first flipper is mounted to one side of the body portion and a second flipper is mounted to an opposite side of the body portion. The clamping device is positioned on the top edge of the monitor so that a front support portion of the clamping portion is positioned against a front surface of the monitor above the screen and the flippers are positioned against a back panel of the monitor. The spring tension between the clamping portion and the flippers rigidly secures the clamping device to the monitor.

  • Publication number: 20050243534
    Abstract: An expansion module latch mechanism including an expansion module and a latch release is described. The expansion module has a recess for receiving a retaining latch external to the expansion module for retaining the expansion module positioned with respect to an expansion module sleeve. The latch release is attached to the expansion module for expelling a retained latch from the recess. An expansion module bay latch mechanism for retaining an expansion module positioned with respect to a module sleeve is described. The expansion module bay latch mechanism has a module sleeve having a latch clip positioned on a side wall of the module sleeve. The latch clip includes a latch adapted to interfit with a recess in an expansion module and a paddle connected to the latch which, in response to contact with the expansion module, urges the latch into the recess.
