  • Patent number: 9629266
    Abstract: A mounting device for a display module includes a positioning member and an installation member. The positioning member includes a limiting portion and a positioning piece. The limiting portion defines a first receiving slot. The positioning piece defines a cutout. The installation member is secured to the positioning member and includes an elastically deformable limiting block. The installation member defines a second receiving slot and a limiting slot. A limiting rib is located on the limiting block and in the limiting slot. The first receiving slot and the second receiving slot rotatably receive a rotating shaft of the display module therebetween. The limiting block abuts a connecting shaft connected to the rotating shaft and blocks the connecting shaft in the limiting slot. The cutout is adapted to receive the connecting shaft when the rotating shaft is rotated to rotate the connecting shaft out of the limiting slot.

  • Patent number: 9215827
    Abstract: A circuit board mounting assembly includes a chassis with a securing hole, a circuit board attached to the chassis, a drive bracket mounted in the chassis, and a latch member configured to latch the circuit board. The drive bracket comprises at least one clamp engaged with the circuit board for preventing the circuit board from moving along a first direction. The latch member comprises a retractable post movable between a latched position and an unlatched position along the first direction. When the retractable post is in the latched position, the retractable post is received through the securing hole for preventing the circuit board from moving along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, thereby locking the circuit board to the chassis. When the retractable post is in the unlatched position, the retractable post is removed from the securing hole for unlocking the circuit board.
