Abstract
A clamp assembly for an AGP display interface card includes a connector and a seat extending from one end of a socket in which an AGP display interface card is mounted. The connector is securely connected to the seat and includes a latch and a resilient look to clamp a hook on the AGP display interface card. The latch holds the hook in the connector, and the resilient loop presses against the hook to keep the hook pressed against the latch when the AGP display interface card is mounted in the socket. Therefore the AGP display interface card is stably mounted in the socket and is easily removed from the socket by releasing the connector.
Claims3
A clamp assembly for an AGP display interface card, wherein an AGP display interface card has a hook near an edge connector inserted into a socket, the clamp assembly comprising:
- a seat adapted to extend outward from one end of the socket, on which a mounting socket is formed integrally;
- and
- a clamping clip supported on the seat and having a resilient long plate, a short plate, an inverted L-shaped fixed connector and a resilient latch, wherein
- the long plate has a top edge, a bottom edge, a first end, a second end and a short perpendicular extension, wherein
- the inverted L-shaped fixed connector is inserted into the mounting socket and has two opposite edges and is integrally formed with the top edge and extends down parallel to the long plate, wherein multiple barbs are formed on each opposite edges of the L-shaped connector;
- and
- the resilient latch is formed on the top edge of the long plate;
- and
- the short plate connected to the long plate has a resilient loop horizontally and integrally extended from the short plate, wherein the resilient loop corresponds to the resilient latch of the long plate;
- whereby the clamping clip securely connects to the socket by the inverted L-shaped fixed connector with the barbs being inserted into the mounting socket on the seat and further stably clamps the hook of the AGP display interface card.
