Abstract
According to an example, a holder for a computing device comprises a first bracket, a second bracket, and a biasing element attached to the first bracket and the second bracket. The first bracket may comprise a first clamp to contact a first side of a computing component and a first attachment member to attach to the computing device so as to fix the first bracket within the computing device. The second bracket may comprise a second clamp to contact a second side of the computing component and aligned with the first clamp. The biasing element may bias the second clamp towards the first clamp.
Claims15
A holder for a computing device, wherein the holder comprises:
- a first bracket comprising:
- a first clamp to contact a first side of a computing component;
- and
- a first attachment member to attach to the computing device so as to fix the first bracket within the computing device;
- a second bracket comprising a second clamp to contact a second side of the computing component and aligned with the first clamp;
- and
- a biasing element attached to the first bracket and engaged with the second bracket, wherein the biasing element biases the second clamp towards the first clamp.
A computing device comprising:
- a device housing;
- an expansion card;
- and
- a holder disposed within an inner volume of the device housing, wherein the holder comprises:
- a first bracket coupled to the device housing and comprising a first clamp;
- a second bracket comprising a second clamp facing the first clamp;
- and
- a biasing element attached to the first bracket and engaged with the second bracket, wherein the biasing element biases the second clamp towards the first clamp such that the first clamp contacts a first lateral side of the expansion card and the second clamp contacts a second lateral side of the expansion card to retain the expansion card within the device housing.
A computing system comprising:
- a housing having an inner surface;
- a computing component disposed within the housing;
- and
- an adjustable holder attached to the inner surface of the housing, the adjustable holder comprising:
- a fixed bracket comprising:
- a first clamp;
- and,
- a spring plate contacting a slidable bracket;
- and
- the slidable bracket comprising a second clamp,
- wherein the spring plate biases the second clamp towards the first clamp, wherein the computing component is held in place by the first clamp and the second clamp.
