  • Method of forming an information handling system enclosure
    Patent number: 8234768
    Abstract: An information handling system enclosure is formed from a metal panel having a thickness, such as approximately 1 mm, by stamping a raised edge from the panel so that the height of the edge appears as a thickness of the panel, such as 2.5 mm. The raised edge is stamped to have a raised edge of slightly greater than the final edge height and then punched into a corner tool to provide the raised edge with a desired height. Punching into the corner tool forms the edge along the outer circumference of the panel to have a substantially square appearance.

  • Method and apparatus for reinforcing a chassis
    Patent number: 7298607
    Abstract: A chassis reinforcing apparatus includes a chassis defining a component housing. A chassis reinforcing member is coupled to the chassis and comprises a bend which is directed towards the component housing. The bend is designed such that, with components housed in the component housing, the chassis reinforcing member is deflected into a substantially planar orientation.
