Abstract
Disclosed is a method of removably mounting a planar electrical component, such as a computer motherboard, to a chassis. The method comprises positioning a first fastener of a mounting device adjacent a mounting slot in the chassis, inserting the first fastener of the mounting device through the mounting slot in the chassis, releasing the mounting device so that the first fastener clamps onto the chassis through the mounting slot, positioning a second fastener of the mounting device adjacent a mounting hole on the planar electrical component, and inserting the second fastener of the mounting device into the mounting hole until the second fastener clamps onto the planar electrical component through the mounting hole.
Claims7
A method of manufacturing a mounting member for use in interconnecting components in a spaced relationship, the method comprising:
- providing a substantially rectangular sheet of material having a first arm extending from a first edge of the material and a second arm extending from a second edge of the material which is opposite from the first edge;
- rolling the sheet of material in a direction that is parallel to the first and second edges to define a coiled configuration for the sheet of material;
- and
- bending the first and second arms into configurations permitting extension of the arms through apertures in the components to be connected, and so as to bias the first and second arms toward their respective adjacent edge of the coiled sheet of material so that a portion of a component placed between one of the first and second arms and the adjacent edge of the coiled sheet of material is clamped between the arms and the adjacent edge by force applied from at least one the arms upon the portion of the component.
