By Francis Pelletier | June 6, 2017 at 2:14 pmSuper Micro Computer, Inc., San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (9,648,775) developed by Chen, Richard, Liang, Lawrence H., San Jose, CA, and Yang, Che-ming, Palo Alto, CA, for a “tool-less storage device adaptor tray with spring mechanism.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A storage device tray has a form factor designed to support a larger storage device, and is configured to secure a small storage device, thereby acting as an adapter between storage device sizes. The storage device tray includes a clip configured with pegs that may couple to screw hole sin the storage device. The clip also exerts a force against the storage device to secure that storage device. At least one advantage of this approach is that a storage device can be coupled to a storage device tray without using screws.“
The patent application was filed on July 17, 2015 (14/802,959).
