  • Patent number: 12238883
    Abstract: A circuit board fastening system consists of a two-piece assembly including an electrically conductive circuit board retainer for surface mounting and a flexible clip for retaining a daughter-card to the retainer. The clip is preferably made of a flexible polymer so that a band portion in the middle of the clip can be comfortably folded 180 degrees at a u-shaped bend. During assembly, an arrow-shaped barb at one end of the clip is inserted into a retain bore thereby resiliently securing the daughter-card to a retainer flange upon which the card is seated. At the opposite end of the clip, a notched aperture in the clip is affixed around a groove in the retainer flange. The resilience of the barb provides a residual clamping effect to the daughter-card that is tightly sandwiched between a broad planar portion of the clip and a top surface of the retainer flange.

    Abstract: An elevator provides for sliding and connecting or disconnecting an electronic device from a chassis circuit board and the subsequent removal of the device from a chassis slot. A sliding element between the device and the chassis includes tracks within which travel followers. Motion of the sliding element in a first direction causes the tracks to move with respect to the followers, pulling the device connector away from the mating circuit board connector. In a fully disconnected position, the device may be removed from the slot. Motion of the sliding element in the opposite direction causes the relative motion between the tracks and followers to urge the device connector toward the circuit board connector until, in a fully seated position, the device is connected to the circuit board.
