  • Patent number: 10136540
    Abstract: A method for plugging into a connector (6) of a chassis (2), an electronic board (3) housed in a unit (10) of an electronic module (1), involving: rectilinear translation of the module (1), relative to the chassis (2), in a first direction (H) so as to insert module (1) into the chassis (2), rectilinear translation of the board (3), relative to the chassis (2), in a second direction (V) different than the first direction (H), so as to plug the board (3) into the connector (6), the rectilinear translation of the board (3) in the second direction (V) in relation to the chassis (2) also being a rectilinear translation of the board (3) in the second direction (V) relative to the housing (10) of the module (1).

  • Patent number: 7477525
    Abstract: A system for maintaining an assembly of three aligned parts (1, 2, 3) in position, wherein a latching device (4) receives a joining member (6) integral with a rear part (1) of the assembly. The latching device (4) can slide on the joining member and is mounted inside a front part (3) and joined by springs (5) to the front part. The system includes means for moving the locking device, which engages with a locking element of the joining member (6) when the three parts (1, 2, 3) are joined, so as to move the device (4) rearward into a position (B) wherein the springs (5) exert a forward return force on the locking device. Retaining means inside the device (4) allow locking of the device in the second position and clamping of an intermediate part (2) between the front part (3) and the rear part (1).

  • Patent number: 7251143
    Abstract: Device for locking and unlocking at least one interface card plugged into a socket of a receiving system (2) linked to a data processing system. The device (1) comprises a box (3) mounted to the receiving system (2) and receiving at least one sliding locking/unlocking element (4a-4n) for locking/unlocking interface cards. Each of elements (4a-4n) is disposed opposite a socket in a position that blocks the access to or removal of an interface card. Each element (4a-4n) comprising an element for controlling the power supply (63) of the card, a visual element for indicating the operation and the recognition of the card, and a detecting element for detecting the intent to unlock the card. The device (1) includes a communication element that makes it possible to transmit signals between the data processing system and the device.
