  • Patent number: 10448737
    Abstract: A locking device includes a first side plate and a first driven screw. The first side plate includes a first moving track with a first driving member extending along the first moving track and a first driven screw includes a first threaded rod; and a first follower mounted to an end of the first threaded rod and coupling with the first driving member. When the first driven screw moves along the first moving track, the first follower is driven to rotate by the first driving member, thereby driving the first threaded rod to rotate along a locking direction or an unlocking direction. An enclosure is further disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8243438
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus (10) includes a main body (30), a lid (20) pivotably connected with a side of the main body, a magnetic detecting unit (40) and a magnetic shield member (28). The detecting unit includes a magnetic body (42) mounted on one of the main body or the lid and a magnetic detector (44) mounted on the other one of the main body or the lid, respectively. The magnetic body has a facing side (421) to face the magnetic detector. The magnetic detector detects a position of the lid according to a magnetic field intensity of the magnetic body. The magnetic shield member is disposed at a distance from the facing side and adjacent to a second side (422) of the magnetic body, to prevent the magnetic field from extending in the direction of the second side of the magnetic body.

  • Patent number: 6732976
    Abstract: A device for fastening a first part to a second part, particularly for fastening a lining element in the interior of a vehicle, for example an aircraft, is provided with at least one fastening element connectable with the first part and releasably attachable to the second part. The fastening element is provided with a locking element that is supported on the fastening element so as to be movable between a disengaged position in which the fastening element is able to be set to the second part and to be detached therefrom, and a pre-locking position in which the fastening element is held at the second part. Further, the fastening element comprises an actuating element for moving the locking element between the disengaged position and the pre-locking position.

  • Patent number: 6597566
    Abstract: A computer system is formed using a riser card and a chassis with serviceability features. The riser card includes a connector disposed at an interior facing surface of the riser card for facilitating coupling of a storage device with removable medium to the riser card. The sealed chassis includes a covered opening disposed on a wall of the chassis that can be uncovered to provide access to service one or more components. The riser card in cooperation with the sealed chassis conceals the storage device, if provided. The riser card and the sealed chassis may be independently employed.

  • Patent number: 5390761
    Abstract: The invention relates to a latch mechanism for coupling a horizontal platform at a selected vertical position on a supporting structure, wherein the mechanism includes a frame member having a plurality of walls arranged to define an enclosed area and a multi-sided bracket for engaging the supporting structure to couple the frame member to the supporting structure. A locking bar extends through the frame member and bracket to engage with the supporting member and is movable between a locking position and an unlocking position. A blocking plate is coupled to the frame member and positioned outside of the enclosed area and is movable by gravity between a blocking position to prevent movement of the locking bar to the unlocking position and a releasing position to allow movement of the locking bar to the unlocking position.

  • Patent number: 4792167
    Abstract: A releasable bolt device 1 for securing an emergency exit door 2 comprises a support structure 3 of box-like form, a bolt member 4 slidably mounted on the structure 3 for movement relative thereto, a compression spring 5 for urging the bolt member 4 away from the door-securing position, a frangible keep member 6, and a plate 7 for retaining the keep member 6 in place whereby its presence maintains the bolt member 4 in a door-securing position. The frangible keep member 6 is weakened locally so that it may be deliberately broken at that locality by manual force applied to it, whereby the bolt member 4 is moved out of its door-securing position by the spring 5.
