Abstract: A cover mounting structure for a shelf assembly which allows easy mounting of a cover to a shelf and can reliably prevent falling of the cover even when the cover is unlocked. The shelf assembly includes a shelf having a pair of side plates and a plurality of electronic circuit packages mounted in the shelf. The cover mounting structure includes a cover having a front plate, a pair of side plates bent from the front plate at a substantially right angle thereto, and a top plate bent from the front plate at a predetermined angle thereto; and a pair of shafts fixed in the vicinity of the upper ends of the side plates of the cover so as to project inside of the cover. A pair of recesses for receiving the shafts are formed at the upper ends of the side plates of the shelf, and a pair of guiding slant surfaces for guiding reception of the shafts into the recesses are formed at the front edges of the upper ends of the side plates of the shelf.

Abstract: This invention relates to a subrack device applicable for an SDH network, and more particularly to a subrack device which can be produced flexibly in response to a customer's need. The subrack device has a subrack body commonly used regardless of a type of the subrack device. The subrack body has a circuit-board-unit housing portion and an outer-connecting-board mounting portion. Circuit boards and outer-connecting-board connecting-boards of different types are prepared. The outer-connecting-board mounting portion has a plurality of outer-connecting-board mounting territories. The outer-connecting-boards are plugged in the outer-connecting-board mounting territories to produce the subrack device meeting the customer's need.

Abstract: A heat pipe connector includes a housing having a hole shaped like a quadrangular pyramid with a large opening and a small opening. A plurality of clamp pieces are combined into a body that can be fitted into the hole shaped like a quadrangular pyramid. A heat pipe insertion opening, into which a heat pipe is inserted, is formed in the center of the combined pieces. Springs energize each clamp piece toward the small opening of the hole shaped like a quadrangular pyramid. The heat pipe is inserted into the heat pipe insertion opening from the side of the small opening of the housing hole shaped like a quadrangular pyramid. It is configured such that a spring force; of the springs as well as lateral surfaces of the hole shaped like a quadrangular pyramid apply a force to the clamp pieces to clamp the heat pipe.

Abstract: A system for extending communication equipment using flat coaxial cables, the system occupying a minimum installation space and providing equipment extensions and interface changes in a flexible manner. The system comprises a rack carrying a base shelf and at least one extension shelf. The base shelf has a plurality of base PWB assemblies inserted therein, and the extension shelf accommodates a plurality of extension PWB assemblies. One end of a flat coaxial cable bundle is attached removably to the front of each base PWB assembly. With its extra length portion left in a first tray on the base shelf, the flat coaxial cable bundle passes through the tray from front to back to enter a second tray from its back on the extension shelf. With another extra length portion left in the second tray, the flat coaxial cable bundle leaves the front end of the second tray to connect detachably to the front of each extension PWB assembly.

Abstract: A test connector for an electronic circuit unit to be mounted on a shelf (11) of an electronic apparatus, which is adapted to be inserted on the shelf only when a projection (33) on the electronic circuit unit comes into a matching position relative to a groove (25) provided on a frame portion (21) of the shelf (11). Guide members (51, 53) with guide grooves (55, 65) which guide the opposite side edges of the electronic circuit unit (27) are provided on a printed wiring board (45) which has connectors (47, 49) at the opposite ends thereof.
