Abstract: A locking member formed of resilient material for locking a disk drive within a computer enclosure includes a first cantilevered beam portion positioned along a first side of the disk drive. A first locking protrusion is positioned on the first cantilevered beam portion and is capable of engaging with the enclosure for locking the disk drive therein. A handle portion extends from the cantilevered beam portion for resiliently bending the first cantilevered beam portion inwardly to disengage the first locking protrusion from the enclosure.

Abstract: A storage assembly for mounting "0" to "N" storage devices to a computer or electronic system.

Abstract: In a shock and vibration isolation system wherein a device having a top, bottom, sides, front and back is mounted on moving isolators between and in spaced relationship to top and bottom members, front operable locking apparatus for releasably holding the device in place against vertical, lateral and longitudinal movement during shipping. A top releasable locking assembly is disposed between the top member and the device and a bottom releasable locking assembly is disposed between the bottom member and the device. Each releasable locking assembly includes a first pivot bar pivotally mounted to the adjacent member and extending perpendicular to and between the sides of the device. An operating arm is attached to one end of the first pivot bar at right angles thereto and disposed so as to pivot in a plane close adjacent and parallel to the side of the device at the end between a first position lying along the adjacent member and a second position angularly disposed with respect to the adjacent member.

Abstract: Shock and vibration isolation mounting apparatus for releasably mounting a computer disk drive, or the like. Two pair of mounting assemblies are used for attaching to the drive and to respective ones of opposed surfaces between which the drive is disposed. One of the pair of mounting assemblies is disposed below the drive with the elastomeric members thereof in compression and the other of the pair of mounting assemblies is disposed above the drive with the elastomeric members thereof in tension. Each of the mounting assemblies comprises a first elongated rigid channel member being U-shaped in cross section and comprising a base separating a pair of parallel spaced sides. The first channel member has a transverse member having a bore therethrough at one end perpendicular to both the base and the sides. The first channel member is adapted for attaching to the disk drive.
