Abstract: A device for at least two electronic components disposed opposite each other and on each side of the same connection board by application of pressure. At least one small clamping column is arranged to be slid into an opening provided in the connection board, and to receive, at each of its ends, a spring which causes a resilient bracing force to be exerted on a bearing plate in the direction of the connection board. Clamping abutments serve to clamp the clamping column to the connection board. Each clamping column is disposed on each side of the connection board, and spaced from each other by a distance strictly greater than the thickness of the board so as to provide between the board and the abutments a clearance for balancing the retaining force between the two bearing plates.

Abstract: A device for retaining by pressure at least two electronic components disposed opposite each other and on each side of the same connection board.

Abstract: A case (1) for housing at least one unit of electronic equipment (2) includes at least one fan (3) and an opening (15) for extracting the fan (3). A moving element (18, 28, 4, 33) is provided which, when the fan (3) is inside the case (1), is maintained in contact with at least one side of the fan (3). When the fan (3) is not inside the case (1), the moving element is maintained in contact with the case (1) so as to obstruct the opening (15) of the case (1) through which the fan is extracted.

Abstract: A pallet (10) for transporting a load (19) includes a deck (11) provided with two skids (12). Depalletization is effected by inclining the deck caused by pivoting the skids so as to space them apart from lateral edges of the deck.

Abstract: A pallet for transporting a load having a deck and two skids removably mounted under the deck for supporting the deck and screw jacks which make it possible to vary the height of the deck relative to the ground. The deck is capable of supporting the weight of the load when it is carried by the screw jacks. Right angle brackets fasten the load to the deck. Depalletization consists of removing the skids by raising the deck via the screw jacks, then lowering the deck and moving the load in horizontal translation. The invention applies most particularly to the transport of heavy, bulky or fragile objects such as cabinets of data processing machines.
