Patent number: 7180755Abstract: An interlock system may control a sequence of installation of circuit board assemblies into a chassis and/or removal of the circuit board assemblies from the chassis. In one embodiment, an interlock member may inhibit installation of one circuit board assembly until another circuit board assembly has been fully installed in a chassis. An interlock member may also inhibit removal of the one circuit board assembly until another circuit board assembly has been removed. In some embodiments, an interlock member may inhibit use of injector/ejectors to inject or eject a circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2004Date of Patent: February 20, 2007Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventor: Naum Reznikov

Patent number: 7106596Abstract: An apparatus for controlling removal of a component from a chassis may include an engaging member and a control member. The engaging member may engage a portion of the chassis when the component is withdrawn to a predetermined position in the chassis to inhibit removal of the component from the chassis. The control member may be operated to disengage the component from the chassis such that the user can remove the component from the chassis. The control member may be a handle that disengages the engaging member from the chassis when the handle is deployed.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2004Date of Patent: September 12, 2006Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventor: Naum Reznikov

Patent number: 6798650Abstract: A bracket having two parallel sides and an interconnecting crosspiece is attached to a disk drive or similar peripheral with the sides of the bracket extending longitudinally of the sides of the drive and the crosspiece extending across the front of the drive. A chassis of a computer or the like has internal parallel sides formed with horizontal guides to receive the bracket, a substantially open front face and an internal connector engageable with a mating connector on the rear of the drive when the bracket is fully inserted in the chassis. The sides of the bracket have features to protect the drive from horizontal and vertical vibrations. A handle is pivoted to the crosspiece near one end moveable between at least three positions: a first or latched position parallel to the crosspiece, a second position swinging out at about a 15° angle and a third position at about a 45° angle.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2001Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Naum Reznikov, Michael F. McCormick, Jr., Ehsan Ettehadieh, Daniel Hruska, Anthony N. Eberhardt

Patent number: 5570984Abstract: A combination of a plastic part and metal part functions as a fastener to attach a panel to the flange of a portion of a chassis for electronic equipment or the like. The panel is formed with a counterbored hole and has an arcuate groove outside the counterbore on the outside of the panel and angularly spaced dimples on the underside. The fastener is a peripherally flanged hollow cylindrical member fitting into the hole and counterbore. It has a partially closed bottom and opposed openings in the cylindrical walls. A detent slants upward-outward from the bottom through one of the openings. A metal clip attaches to the cap, having an inverted U-shape having a web and two depending sides which fit through the openings. The top has a shoulder which locks outside the detent to hold the parts assembled and has a locking extension beyond the shoulder.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 1995Date of Patent: November 5, 1996Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Naum Reznikov, John C.

Patent number: 5223674Abstract: The present invention pertains to standoff devices used to hold a circuit board a fixed distance from a mounting surface such as another circuit board. The present invention divides the standoff into two interacting members. The first member has a base and two arms disposed to define a receiving slot between the two arms. The second member is comprised of a head portion, a tapered portion, and a tongue portion. The second member is slidably disposed within the receiving slot of the first member, and is capable of being locked into place in two distinct locking positions within this receiving slot. By sliding the second member from the first locking position to the second locking position, the standoff is locked into place between the circuit board and the mounting surface. The present invention discloses a secure locking system utilizing locking projections and cooperating depressions to accomplish this locking function.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1991Date of Patent: June 29, 1993Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventor: Naum Reznikov

Patent number: 5016946Abstract: A modular storage container including a drawer configured to be received into and contained by a housing. The housing consists of two identical molded units that are joined and fastened together by a guide bracket. The guide bracket also functions to position the drawer within the housing. The drawer slides within the housing on a drawer glide which interfaces with the guide bracket of the housing. Two sets of ridges are disposed on outer surface of the base of each molded unit. When two or more containers are stacked, the ridges on the top of the supporting container will interdigitate with the ridges on the underside of the mounted container to align the containers squarely atop each other and to inhibit longitudinal and lateral movement of the stacked containers. Each container has a drawer lock for security.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1990Date of Patent: May 21, 1991Assignee: Innovative Concepts, Inc.Inventors: Naum Reznikov, Marc T. Protiva
