INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM RETENTION NUT FOR AUTOMATED ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240201756 titled 'INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM RETENTION NUT FOR AUTOMATED ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY
The abstract describes a portable information handling system that can be easily assembled and disassembled using a keystone assembly that overlaps a keyboard assembly covering the processing components in the housing. The motherboard is secured to the housing under the keyboard assembly with aligned openings that fit over retaining nuts, which have features to engage, align, and define the movement of the motherboard. A cooling fan adjacent to the motherboard retains it in place when engaged and can be removed to allow the motherboard to slide to the released position.
- Keystone assembly for easy assembly and disassembly of the portable information handling system
- Motherboard secured to the housing with aligned openings and retaining nuts with specific features
- Cooling fan adjacent to the motherboard for retention and release of the motherboard
Potential Applications: - Portable computing devices - Field service equipment - Industrial control systems
Problems Solved: - Simplifies the assembly and disassembly process of portable information handling systems - Provides secure attachment of the motherboard to the housing - Facilitates cooling of processing components in the system
Benefits: - Easy maintenance and repair of portable devices - Enhanced portability and convenience for users - Improved thermal management for efficient operation
Commercial Applications: Title: Portable Information Handling System with Keystone Assembly This technology can be utilized in the development of portable computing devices, field service equipment, and industrial control systems, catering to a wide range of commercial applications. The ease of assembly and disassembly, secure motherboard attachment, and efficient cooling system make it a valuable innovation for various industries.
Questions about Portable Information Handling System with Keystone Assembly: 1. How does the keystone assembly simplify the assembly and disassembly process of the portable information handling system? 2. What are the specific features of the retaining nuts that secure the motherboard to the housing?
Original Abstract Submitted
a portable information handling system is assembled and disassembled by a keystone assembly that couples at an upper surface of the portable housing to overlap a keyboard assembly that covers processing components disposed in the portable housing. a motherboard couples to the portable housing under the keyboard assembly with openings aligned to insert over retaining nuts extending from the housing, the retaining nuts having a lip to engage the motherboard, a stop feature to define motherboard sliding movement and an alignment feature to align the lip and stop feature in a predetermined configuration. a cooling fan couples to the motherboard adjacent to one side to retain the motherboard in the engaged position and is removed to allow the motherboard to slide to the released position.
