  • Patent number: 10959343
    Abstract: An integrated stand-off for a printed circuit board (PCB), and methods of making the integrated stand-off, and mounting such integrated stand-off to the PCB are disclosed. The integrated stand-off includes a metal grounding contact and a plastic element. The metal grounding contact is stamped on a first surface of a sheet metal chassis and the plastic element is overmolded on the metal grounded contact. The metal grounding contact is completely encased within the plastic element to distance the sheet metal chassis from contacting the PCB for preventing electrical shorts there between.

  • Patent number: 10271454
    Abstract: Examples relate to sliding rail assemblies comprising a first and a second slide rail wherein each slide rail comprises a main body and a guide rail. The main body has an inner surface to attach to an inner surface of the guide rail and an outer surface having an upper, a lower and a middle protrusion along the length of the main body. The upper and the middle protrusions define a dovetail socket and the middle and the lower protrusion define a dovetail. The main bodies of the first and the second slide rails are identical to each other. Each dovetail protrusion of the first slide rail slidably engages a corresponding dovetail protrusion of the second slide rail such that a cavity is formed between the respective guide rails.

  • Publication number: 20190090375
    Abstract: Examples herein relate to a keying device for inserting a module in a chassis. The device comprises a key plate having a protrusion adapted to interlock with a slot of the chassis and teeth to grip the module and an operating handle. The keying device permits insertion or ejection of the module in the chassis responsive to the protrusion interlocking the slot of the chassis when the operating handle is in an open position and the keying device rejects insertion or ejection of the module in the chassis responsive to the protrusion not interlocking the slot of the chassis when the operating handle is in a closed position.
