  • Publication number: 20090295175
    Abstract: A case latch assembly 10 comprises a catch plate 12, a latch slider 14, a latch body 16, latch actuation means 18, a latch dish 20, a latch dish front 22 and a latch guard 24. The latch slider 14 comprises a slider body 26, latch arm 28 and a latch hook 30. The latch hook 30 comprises a hook member 32 and a latch hook ramp 34. The latch body 16 is provided with a latch aperture 40 and a latch actuation ramp 42, adapted to engage the latch hook ramp 34. In operation, the latch hook ramp 34 is pushed towards and engages against the latch actuation ramp 42, which pushes the latch hook 30 through the latch aperture 40 along an angled, downwards path away from the latch body 16. The latch hook 30 is thereby fully disengaged from and removed from the catch plate 12.

  • Publication number: 20090108162
    Abstract: A CPU holder 10 comprising a top member 12, a height adjustable side member 14, a support member 16 and retaining arms 36, and a movably mounted side arm 18. The height of the side member 14 and the length of the retaining arms 36 may be adjusted to accommodate computer cases of differing height and depth. The height and length can only be adjusted when no computer case is present. The position of the side arm 18 on the top member 12 can be adjusted according to the width of the computer case. The side arm 18 is locked in position on the top member 12 via a key operated locking arm 50 and a lock box 48. The CPU holder 10 is thereby fully size adjustable, but the height and length adjustment is secure and tamper proof when a computer case is present, so only a single external lock is required.

  • Publication number: 20080238110
    Abstract: A case latch assembly 10 comprising a latch housing 12, a strike member 14 and a bolt assembly 16. The bolt assembly 16 comprises a bolt arm 30, mounting brackets 32, 34, spring members 36, 38 and a latch key 40. Each mounting bracket 32, 34 is generally z-shaped and comprises a mounting section 46, a fixing section 48 and an interconnecting section 50. Fixing ends 36a of the springs 36 are located through fixing apertures 54. The fixing sections 48 are separated such that they are spaced from the edges of the bolt arm 30 and the fixing ends 36a of the springs 36 are located between their fixing section 48 and the edge of the bolt arm 30. The bolt arm 30 is thus removed from the fixing ends 36a of the spring members 36, and can be provided close to the bottom of its housing 22, enabling the bolt assembly 16 to be fully received within the latch housing 12.
