Patent number: 7227751Abstract: A structure for vertically housing an electronic component is disclosed as including a bottom support member and a top support member. The top support member is substantially parallel to the bottom support member. An open space is formed between the top support member and the bottom support member whereby the electronic component may be placed into the open space in a vertical orientation. A ventilating structure is disposed outside of the open space and is capable of channeling air into a middle portion of the electronic component in the open space.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2005Date of Patent: June 5, 2007Assignee: Linux NetworxInventors: Shane R. Robbins, David Turner

Patent number: 7193857Abstract: A structure for vertically housing multiple computer systems is disclosed. The structure includes a bottom support member and a top support member substantially parallel to the bottom support member. The top support member is attached to the bottom support member by two side members. Bottom guides are mounted to the bottom support member, and top guides are mounted to the top support member. The top guides are substantially parallel to the bottom guides and are substantially aligned with the bottom guides. A computer system having a top groove and a bottom groove slides into a computer space in between the top support member and the bottom support member by having the top groove align with a top guide and by having the bottom groove align with a bottom guide to provide a fitting relationship. The computer system slides into the computer space to a non-backplaned rear.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2004Date of Patent: March 20, 2007Assignee: Linux Networx, Inc.Inventors: Shane R. Robbins, Clark M. Roundy, Jason Lowry

Patent number: 6906925Abstract: A mounting mechanism for mounting a enclosure-mountable device to an equipment enclosure having a plurality of vertical mounting rails disposed so as to define an equipment storage region is disclosed. The mounting mechanism includes a first portion configured to be attached to the enclosure-mountable device, and a second portion configured to be attached to one or more of the vertical mounting rails. The first and second portions are configured such that the enclosure-mountable device may be disposed in a first position outside the equipment storage region and a second position outside the equipment storage region.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2004Date of Patent: June 14, 2005Assignee: Linux Networx, Inc.Inventors: Shane R.
