Abstract: A sliding flat panel display and keyboard module for monitoring and controlling server computers on a server rack is described. The sliding flat panel display and keyboard module has an L-shaped supporting frame, a vertical sliding rail, a horizontal sliding rail, a flat panel display, and a keyboard. The vertical sliding rail and the horizontal sliding rail are respectively disposed on a vertical surface and a horizontal surface of the L-shaped supporting frame. The flat panel display couples to the vertical sliding rail and the keyboard couples to the horizontal sliding rail, so that the flat panel display and the keyboard are able to slide on the L-shaped supporting frame horizontally.

Abstract: A rack-mounted KVM module is configured for a server rack. An L-shaped supporting frame, which has a vertical plane and a horizontal plane, is coupled to the sever rack. A flat panel display is coupled to the vertical sliding rail to move along the L-shaped supporting frame horizontally. A keyboard module is coupled to the horizontal sliding rail to move along the L-shaped supporting frame horizontally. A positioning mechanism is disposed in the horizontal sliding rail. The positioning mechanism consists mainly of an outer rail, an inner rail, a link bracket, a latch and a positioning switch. The latch is swiveled to engage a notch of the latch in a block portion of the outer rail or to remove the notch thereof from the block portion to respectively lock or unlock a fixed position when the link bracket is slid along the inner rail by moving the positioning switch.

Abstract: A KVM switch device is provided. The KVM switch device comprises a frame, a switch part fixed to the frame, a console unit movably connected to the switch part, and a sliding mechanism disposed between the console unit and the frame, wherein the switch part communicates with the console unit. The sliding mechanism comprises at least one guide rod disposed on the frame and at least one sliding bearing sliding along the guide rod. The console unit is movable between a closed position and an open position by the sliding bearing sliding along the guide rod.

Abstract: Sliding track assembly is provided. A sliding track assembly includes a first rail, a second rail reciprocally moved with respect to the first rail, a third rail reciprocally moved with respect to the second rail, and a latch mechanism disposed on the second rail. The first rail has a retaining block, and the third rail has a protrusion. The latch mechanism includes a pair of swing arms engaged against the retaining block. When the latch mechanism is forced by the protrusion, the pair of swing arms is swung outwardly and disengaged from the retaining block.

Abstract: Embodiments for a slider mounting module suitable for mounting a KVM assembly to a server rack are provided. In one embodiment, the slider mounting module includes a front rack mount and a back rack mount which are configured to couple together and be secured to a server rack. The coupling of the front rack mount to the back rack mount is adjustable to accommodate different depth server racks. The slider mounting module includes a front move plate slidably coupled to the front rack mount and a back move plate slidably coupled to the back rack mount. The front and back rack mounts provide a mounting surface for KVM assembly.

Abstract: A console KVM module includes a main base, a flat panel display module and a torsion-varying hinge. A torsion-varying hinge links the flat panel display module with the main base such that the flat panel display module can fold against or unfold away from the main base. The torsion-varying hinge mainly comprises a fixed part, a swiveled part, a shaft and a torsion part. The fixed part is secured to the main base. The swiveled part is secured to the flat panel display module. The swiveled part is pivotally connected with the fixed part by the shaft. A torsion part is disposed around the shaft and engaged in the fixed part and the swiveled part at two ends, wherein the torsion part provides an assisting torsion while folding and unfolding the flat panel display module.
