Flameproof housing
A housing according of the flameproof encapsulation protection type having a housing body which has an opening closed by a cover. The opening is surrounded by a flange which is directed outward away from the housing body. The edge of the cover lies flat on the flange. The edge and the flange are both preferably continuous. In any case, the edge and the flange do not have any passage openings for clamping means. In order to clamp the edge against the flange, clamps are provided which hold the edge and the flange pressed against each other in the manner of screw clamps. The clamps are provided with releasable clamping means and are preferably captively retained on the housing body or the cover, the clamps being movable between a closed position, in which the cover is fixedly clamped, and an open position, in which the clamps do not extend over the cover and allow the cover to be opened unhindered.
ELECTRICAL UNIT
An electrical unit (1) having a housing (5) having a first wall (7) and a circuit board (3) mounted inside the housing (5), wherein an inner side (7a) of the first wall (7) is provided with a mounting arrangement (17) for holding an electrical component (45).
An outer side (7b) of the first wall (7) is provided with a disassembling marking (53, 55, 57) which corresponds to an outer boundary (65, 67, 69) of a mounting arrangement foundation designating a portion of the first wall which may be cut or removed upon disassembly of the electrical unit (39, 41, 43).
ELECTRONIC DEVICE HOUSING AND DISASSEMBLY FIXTURE THEREOF
An electronic device housing is provided, which may include a front cover and a back cover. The front cover may include at least two flexible hooks and at least one fixation hook, and each flexible hook may include a hook body and a flexible member; one end of the flexible member may be connected to the front cover and the other end thereof may provide support force to one side of the hook body. The back cover may include at least two first fasteners, at least one second fastener and at least three holes; the holes may be respectively corresponding to the first and the second fasteners; the first fasteners may be respectively corresponding to and caught on the flexible hooks; the second fastener may be corresponding to and caught on the fixation hook, whereby the front cover can be combined with the back cover.
COLD WORKED METAL HOUSING FOR A PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE
A cold worked stainless steel bezel for a portable electronic device is provided. The bezel is secured flush to a housing to form part of the case of the portable electronic device. A brace that includes a slot for receiving a wall extending from the bezel is fixed to the housing. When the bezel engages the housing, the wall of the bezel is inserted in the slot of the brace and releasably held by a spring that engages both the brace and the wall. The bezel can be released by disengaging the spring, (e.g., using a special tool or a magnetic field). Because the bezel is manufactured from cold worked stainless steel, it is hard and resistant to impacts. Cold worked steel also facilitates manufacturing within design constraints and tolerances, and requires very little machining after manufacturing to comply with those constraints.
Power adapter housing with snaps capable of bidirectional deflection
A power adapter is disclosed. The power adapter includes housing parts that carries electronic components. To secure the housing parts together, one housing part includes snaps and another housing part includes protrusions and rails. During assembly, the protrusions slide under the snap, causing the snap to deflect in one direction, while the rails slide over the snap, which keeps the snap partially flat but also causes the snap to deflect in another direction. The engagement (during assembly) of the rails and the protrusions to opposing surfaces of the snap cause bi-directional deflection/bending of the snap. When each protrusion is positioned into an opening of the snap, the snap returns to a flat, non-deflected state, and the housing parts are secured together by the snap, protrusions, and rails. The rails support the snaps by limiting or preventing additional deflection of the snap, which subsequently promotes the housing remaining together.
Server connectivity control for a tele-presence robot
A robot system with a robot that has a camera and a remote control station that can connect to the robot. The connection can include a plurality of privileges. The system further includes a server that controls which privileges are provided to the remote control station. The privileges may include the ability to control the robot, joint in a multi-cast session and the reception of audio/video from the robot. The privileges can be established and edited through a manager control station. The server may contain a database that defines groups of remote control station that can be connected to groups of robots. The database can be edited to vary the stations and robots within a group. The system may also allow for connectivity between a remote control station at a user programmable time window.
Secure electronic device and disassembling tool
A secure electronic device with matching disassembling tool includes a housing and an electronic element. The disassembling tool includes a securing member, a first elastic disassembling member, and a second disassembling member. The securing member is mounted to the housing. The securing member includes an elastic locking block locked to the electronic element. The first elastic disassembling member can reach and be inserted into the securing member. The second disassembling member is inserted in the first disassembling member. When the second disassembling member is then rotated, the first disassembling member is deformed to press the elastic locking block, which unlocks from the electronic element.
Fixing structure
In a state where an engaging tab and a tab receiver are engaged with each other, the engaging tab is elastically deformed and thus a first end of a second portion applies a force to the tab receiver, the force applied toward a first side of a case.
Security Device
A security device comprises a housing assembly comprising a mounting bracket and a main housing detachably mountable to the mounting bracket. The housing assembly has a closed configuration that can be at least partially opened using a first mechanism. When the housing assembly is at least partially opened, a second mechanism is accessible to be manipulated to enable movement of the main housing with respect to the mounting bracket. In the closed configuration the second mechanism prevents movement of the main housing with respect to the mounting bracket and is inaccessible to thereby prevent said manipulation. A method of retaining a main housing of a security device on a mounting bracket when inserting a further housing component into engagement with the main housing is also disclosed.
POWER ADAPTER HOUSING WITH SNAPS CAPABLE OF BI-DIRECTIONAL DEFLECTION
A power adapter is disclosed. The power adapter includes housing parts that carries electronic components. To secure the housing parts together, one housing part includes snaps and another housing part includes protrusions and rails. During assembly, the protrusions slide under the snap, causing the snap to deflect in one direction, while the rails slide over the snap, which keeps the snap partially flat but also causes the snap to deflect in another direction. The engagement (during assembly) of the rails and the protrusions to opposing surfaces of the snap cause bi-directional deflection/bending of the snap. When each protrusion is positioned into an opening of the snap, the snap returns to a flat, non-deflected state, and the housing parts are secured together by the snap, protrusions, and rails. The rails support the snaps by limiting or preventing additional deflection of the snap, which subsequently promotes the housing remaining together.
