International Classification:

H01R 13/62

US Classification:

439157

Abstract:

An apparatus for engaging and disengaging a first connector half () from a second connector half () includes a first ramp () and second ramp () for each connector half. The first and second ramps () have frictional properties and geometries which cancel forces to provide for automatic separation of the ramps during connection of the two connector halves. For disconnection, the first and second ramps translate a horizontal push force () at the ends of the ramps into an upward motion so as to disengage the first connector half () from the second connector half ().

International Classification:

H01Q 1/24
H01Q 1/10

US Classification:

343702, 343901

Abstract:

An electronic device having a housing with a shroud locator socket. There is a retractable elongate radio frequency radiating element passing through an aperture of the shroud locator socket, the retractable elongate radio frequency radiating element being electrically connected to an electrical circuit located in the housing and being movable from a fully retracted position when substantially located in the housing to a fully extended position when substantially protruding outside the housing. An end cap is located on a free end of the retractable elongate radio frequency radiating element and there is a shroud having transverse ribs that are transverse to a longitudinal axis (X) of the retractable elongate radio frequency radiating element. The shroud covers a protected length (L) of the retractable elongate radio frequency radiating element proximal to the end cap. The shroud extends and tapers away from the end cap towards the shroud locator socket and the shroud operatively engages the shroud locator socket when the retractable elongate radio frequency radiating element is in the fully retracted position.

International Classification:

H01R 12/00

US Classification:

439 761, 439 67

Abstract:

A circuit board connector assembly mounted in a housing and method of mounting are described. The assembly has orthogonal first and second circuit boards (CB). The CB has a CB connector containing a CB housing with CB electrical contacts. A flexible electrical link has a link connector mounted in a link connector housing with link electrical contacts. A resilient pad is mounted on a link connector housing and a flexible sheet is mounted to both the pad and the link. The sheet spans a length of the link. When the length of the link is substantially planar, the sheet provides a ramp tapering away from the pad. During mounting of the assembly in the housing, the CB connector is operatively coupled to the link connector thereby forming a first connector assembly, and an abutment edge of the second circuit board slidably engages the sheet thereby compressing the pad.

International Classification:

B23K037/04

US Classification:

228049100, 228049500

Abstract:

A solid solder element (), such as a solder perform, is attached onto a contact surface of interest (), such as a heat sink using and adhesive material (). Placement of the adhesive material overcomes alignment and registration issues that may interfere with good contact to components (), such as transistors, during the manufacturing/assembly process, such as a reflow process.

Inventors:

Daniel Martin - Hialeah FL, US
David McClintock - Davie FL, US

International Classification:

A47K 1/00

US Classification:

248298100

Abstract:

A mounting apparatus () includes a mobile communication device () having first and second integrated side rails (), and a unitarily molded bracket () having side surfaces () extending therefrom. The side surfaces () receive the mobile communication device () in either a vertical drop down mounting option () or a horizontal slide in mounting () option. The mobile communication device () includes first and second side rails () that rest on top of the side surfaces () in the vertical drop down mounting mode (). In the horizontal slide in mode (), the side rails () slide along flat surfaces () of side surfaces () and become engaged to engagement portions () of the side panels ().

Abstract:

A mounting apparatus () for a mobile communication device includes a unitarily formed bracket () having side surfaces () with integrated lock washer functionality. Cantilevered beams () are deflected outward from the side surfaces () forming a clearance () through which to receive a screw () for coupling the mobile communication device () to the bracket (). The cantilevered beams () minimize backward rotation of the screw () and provide compliancy between the bracket (), the screw () and the mobile communication device ().

International Classification:

G06F 1/16

US Classification:

361685000

Abstract:

An apparatus () for installation and removal of a mobile communication device () to and from a bracket (), such as mounted in a vehicle, is provided. The apparatus () includes a handle () pivotably coupled () to the mobile communication device (), the handle having first and second lever arms (). The apparatus () further includes a bracket () having first and second pivot point pins () and a compliant member (). During installation the handle () is pivoted in a first direction such that the first and second lever arms () engage the first and second pivot point pins (), and the handle compresses the mobile communication device () into the compliant member () for retention. The lever arms () disengage the pivot point pins () as the handle () is pivoted in an opposite direction thereby releasing the mobile communication device () from the bracket ().
