HYBRID DRIVE CARRIER FRAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240256006 titled 'HYBRID DRIVE CARRIER FRAME

The abstract describes a hybrid drive carrier frame that includes a front rail, first and second side rails, and a locking tab for secure connection.

• Front rail with first and second ends, and a body extending transversely.
• First side rail perpendicular to the transverse direction, made of metal with a locking tab.
• Second side rail parallel to the first side rail, made of plastic.
• Locking channel at the first end of the front rail for connecting the first side rail securely.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for mounting drives in vehicles. - Industrial machinery for securing components in place. - Consumer electronics for housing storage devices.

Problems Solved: - Provides a secure and stable mounting solution for various applications. - Allows for easy installation and removal of components.

Benefits: - Durable construction with metal and plastic materials. - Versatile design for different mounting needs. - Enhanced safety and stability for mounted components.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Hybrid Drive Carrier Frame for Secure Component Mounting" This technology can be used in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics sectors for secure mounting of components, potentially leading to increased efficiency and safety in various applications.

Questions about the Hybrid Drive Carrier Frame: 1. How does the locking tab mechanism ensure secure connection between the front and side rails? 2. What are the advantages of using a hybrid design with metal and plastic materials in the frame construction?

Original Abstract Submitted

a hybrid drive carrier frame includes a front rail comprising a first end, a second end, and a body extending along a transverse direction between the first and second ends. the frame comprises a first side rail extending from the first end of the front rail perpendicular to the transverse direction and a second side rail extending from the second end of the front rail perpendicular to the transverse direction and parallel to the first side rail. the first side rail is formed from a metal material and includes a locking tab extending along the transverse direction. the front and second side rails are formed from a plastic material. the front rail includes a locking channel at the first end of the front rail and the first side rail is connected to the first end of the front rail via engagement of the locking tab within the locking channel.
