  • Patent number: 11781564
    Abstract: A fan handle is operable to be coupled to a fan. The fan handle includes a first sheet and a second sheet. The first sheet has first apertures operable to receive fasteners to couple a fan guard with a first side of the fan. The first sheet forms a slot. The second sheet has second apertures operable to receive fasteners to couple a fan guard with a second side of the fan. The second sheet forms shoulders from which an extension portion extends. The extension portion is received in the slot of the first sheet. In a retracted configuration, the first sheet and the second sheet are substantially flush such that the shoulders abut against the first sheet. In an extended configuration, the extension portion is partially withdrawn from the slot such that the first sheet and the second sheet are curved and coupled with one another.

  • Patent number: 11419226
    Abstract: An interlock system is provided that limits the ability of a user or seismic event to dislodge or partially remove more than one chassis from a rack at any one time. Thus, embodiments reduce the potential for the rack to be toppled by the weight of too many chassis extending from the rack at the same time. The interlock system includes a dynamic rail with locking blocks that move to engage hooks on the rear of the chassis. A trigger at each chassis slot is depressed with installation of a chassis. Upon the removal of any chassis, the associated trigger extends and causes the dynamic rail to be pulled down into a locking position in which the locking blocks engage the hooks on the remaining chassis, which prevents their removal.
