Abstract
The housing of computer components in a range of differently configured computer shells via a support structure adapted for fixable positioning within any and all of said shells, which support structure is further adapted for attachment thereto of such computer components or further adapted for supporting one or more additional elements, at least one of which elements is adapted for attachment thereto of such computer components; a computer comprising said support structure; and methods of providing such support, or producing such computer.
Claims35
Apparatus for mounting computer components with any of a plurality of different external shells for housing computer components within a computer, the apparatus comprising a support structure adapted for fixable positioning within each and every one of a plurality of differently configured external shells, and further adapted for attachment thereto of said computer components, or for supporting one or more additional elements, at least one of which elements is adapted for attachment thereto of said computer components.
Apparatus for supporting computer components within any of a plurality of differently configured external shells for housing said computer components, the apparatus comprising:
- a receptacle which is adapted for fixable positioning within each and every one of said plurality of differently configured external shells;
- a chassis adapted for supporting a platform for said computer components, which chassis is mounted to the receptacle;
- a platform adapted for supporting computer components attached to the chassis and adapted for supporting computer components.
A computer which comprises:
- an external shell of a given configuration;
- a support structure which is adapted for fixable positioning within any of a plurality of differently configured external shells, and which is fixed in position within said external shell of given configuration, which support structure is further adapted for attachment thereto of computer components, or for supporting one or more additional elements at least one of which elements is adapted for attachment thereto of said computer components;
- an assemblage of computer components attached to said structure or at least one of said additional elements.
A computer which comprises:
- an external shell of a given configuration;
- a receptacle which is adapted for housing computer components within each and every one of a plurality of differently configured external shells, and which is fixed in position within said external shell of given configuration;
- a chassis adapted for supporting a platform for said computer components, which chassis is mounted to the receptacle;
- a platform adapted for attachment thereto of computer components attached to the chassis and adapted for attachment thereto of computer components;
- an assemblage of computer components attached to said platform.
A method of providing support for computer components within any of a plurality of differently configured external shells for housing said computer components, which method comprises interiorly fixing to said any of a plurality of differently configured external shells a support structure adapted for fixable positioning within each and every one of said differently configured external shells, and further adapted for attachment thereto of said computer components, or for supporting one or more additional elements, at least one of which elements is adapted for attachment thereto of said computer components.
A method of providing support for computer components within any of a plurality of differently configured external shells for housing said computer components, which method comprises:
- interiorly fixing to said any of a plurality of differently configured shells a support structure including a receptacle which is adapted for fixable positioning within each and every one of said differently configured external shells, which receptacle is further adapted for mounting thereto a chassis adapted for supporting a platform for said computer components.
A method of assembling a computer having any of a plurality of differently configured external shells, which method comprises:
- interiorly fixing to said any of a plurality of differently configured shells a support structure adapted for fixable positioning within each and every one of said differently configured external shells, and attaching computer components to said support structure.
A method of assembling a computer having any of a plurality of differently configured external shells, which method comprises:
- interiorly fixing to said any of a plurality of differently configured shells a support structure including a chassis receptacle which is adapted for fixable positioning within each and every one of said differently configured external shells, which receptacle is adapted for mounting thereto of a chassis adapted for supporting a platform for said computer components, and attaching computer components to said support structure.
