Patent number: 8797764Abstract: An adjustable riser cage retains varying length adapters. For example, the adjustable riser cage may support a short adapter card, a ¾ length adapter card, or a long adapter card. The adjustable riser cage includes a riser portion and an extension portion. The riser portion includes one or more guidance features and a plurality of first retention members. The extension portion is slide ably supported against only the one or more guidance members, and includes a second retention member configured to engage with a particular first retention member depending upon a length of the adapter card to be supported. The adjustable riser cage may be installed into a larger electronic system having a plurality of electronic components. The adjustable riser cage allows for increased access to the electronic components because the extension portion is not supported by external or non-integral support features that may block access to the electronic components.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2011Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mark Steven Bohannon, Jeremy Scott Bridges, Michael Dudley French, Jr., Daniel Paul Kelaher, Paul Jeffrey La Rocca, Derek Ian Schmidt

Patent number: 7465181Abstract: A device for locking a USB device to a USB header includes a member secured to a USB header and selectively movable between a locked position that blocks outward movement of a spring finger of the USB header and an unlocked position that permits outward movement of the spring finger. The selectively moveable member may include a collar secured around the USB header. In one embodiment, the collar slides in an axial direction relative to the axis of the USB header. In another embodiment, the collar slides in a transverse direction relative to the axis of the USB header. In yet another embodiment, the selectively moveable member is a lever, button or dial coupled to a collar positioned around the USB header. For example, the member may be a lever pivotally coupled to the collar.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2007Date of Patent: December 16, 2008Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jeremy Scott Bridges, Norman Bruce Desrosiers, Dean Frederick Herring, Paul Andrew Wormsbecher

Patent number: 7438577Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include an apparatus and a method for locking a cam lever, which positions a second card as inserted into a connector on a first card, and activating the second card with a coupling member. In one embodiment, the second card is inserted between a pair of guides secured to the first card into a connector on the first card. A hinged cam lever on either a guide or the second card positions the second card. A coupling member on the cam lever can be moved to lock the cam lever in place and engage a switch on the second card to activate the second card. When removal of the second card is desired, the coupling member on the cam lever can be moved to unlock the cam lever and disengage the switch on the second card to deactivate the second card.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2008Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jeremy Scott Bridges, David L. Hager, Dean F. Herring, Daniel Paul Kelaher, Paul Andrew Wormsbecher

Patent number: 7384299Abstract: An apparatus for latching, aligning, and connecting a first connector located in a chassis with a second connector on a cable. The invention comprises a plurality of trough segments coupled in series. The trough segments include a distal trough segment having a retainer for securing and axially orienting a cable connector, a proximal trough segment having a latch element selectively secureable to a guide passage, and one or more intermediate trough segments coupled between the distal trough segment and the proximal trough segment. Each individual trough segment is pivotally coupled to any adjacent trough segment to allow bending of the cable trough. The cable trough formed by the collective trough segments may be directed into the guide passage for coupling of the cable connector to an internal chassis connector and latching of the cable trough in position within the guide passage.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2007Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jeremy Scott Bridges, David Lee Hager, Dean Frederick Herring, Paul Andrew Wormsbecher
