Abstract
Description
La présente invention est relative à des perfectionnements aux carcasses de micro-ordinateur de type tour. De la façon connue, une telle carcasse se présente, généralement, sous la forme d'une enceinte rigide, comportant une armature et un capot, renfermant : la carte-mère, dont l'un des champs comporte connecteurs de raccordement des câbles des périphériques, l'alimentation moins d'un disque dur et le ou les lecteurs de disques et de disquettes. The present invention relates to improvements to tower-type microcomputer carcasses. In known manner, such a carcass is generally in the form of a rigid enclosure, comprising a frame and a cover, containing: the motherboard, one of the fields of which comprises connectors for connecting the cables of the peripherals. , power less than one hard drive and the disk and floppy drive (s).
Les connecteurs précités débouchent sur la face arrière la carcasse et l'accès à ceux-ci n'est pas aisé. Malgré cela, quiconque peut accéder et une personne non autorisée peut modifier les branchements avec tous les inconvénients que cela présente. The aforementioned connectors open onto the rear face of the carcass and access to them is not easy. Despite this, anyone who can access and an unauthorized person can modify the connections with all the disadvantages that this presents.
A cela s'ajoute le fait que l'accès aux organes internes effectue en enlevant le capot. Added to this is the fact that access to the internal organs takes place by removing the cover.
La présente invention, qui remédie à ces inconvénients, est remarquable en ce que la carte-mère, usuelle, est disposée de façon à ce que ses organes de connexion soient dirigés vers le haut. The present invention, which overcomes these drawbacks, is remarkable in that the usual motherboard is arranged so that its connection members are directed upwards.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, des moyens sont prévus pour s'opposer au débranchement des câbles de liaison aux périphériques. According to another characteristic of the invention, means are provided for opposing the disconnection of the cables for connecting to the peripherals.
La présente invention sera mieux comprise par la description qui va suivre, faite en se référant au dessin annexé à titre d'exemple indicatif seulement, sur lequel figure I est une vue en élévation d'une carcasse conforme l'invention ; figure 2 est 1â vue de dessus de la figure 1 ; figure 3 est la vue de gauche de la figure 1 montrant un moyen pour sécuriser les branchements des câbles ; figure 4 est la vue de dessus de la figure 3, le moyen de sécurisation précité etant en action. The present invention will be better understood from the description which follows, made with reference to the attached drawing by way of indicative example only, in which FIG. I is an elevation view of a carcass according to the invention; Figure 2 is a top view of Figure 1; Figure 3 is the left view of Figure 1 showing a means for securing cable connections; Figure 4 is the top view of Figure 3, the aforementioned securing means being in action.
se reportant au dessin, on voit que la carcasse 1 renferme carte-mere 2 située sensiblement dans un plan vertical. referring to the drawing, it can be seen that the carcass 1 contains mother card 2 located substantially in a vertical plane.
Selon l'invention, la carte 2 est disposée de façon à ce que connecteurs usuels 3 soient situés selon le bord supérieur 2a de ladite carte. cette façon, tous les branchements peuvent être effectués par dessus l'ordinateur. According to the invention, the card 2 is arranged so that the usual connectors 3 are located along the upper edge 2a of said card. this way, all connections can be made over the computer.
Tous les connecteurs de la carte-mère débouchent sur le fond logement 4 dont la profondeur est suffisante pour y loger totalement corps connecteurs des câbles de liaison aux périphériques. All the connectors on the motherboard open onto the bottom of the housing 4, the depth of which is sufficient to completely accommodate the connector body of the cables for connection to the peripherals.
moyens sont prévus pour s'opposer mécaniquement au débranchement intempestif desdits câbles, ces derniers se trouvant, ainsi, verrouillés. means are provided to mechanically oppose the untimely disconnection of said cables, the latter thus being locked.
Dans ce but et selon un mode de réalisation, il est prévu deux volets de verrouillage, articulés sur les faces latérales de la carcasse et présentant, chacun, une patte 6 dont le bord libre peut s'étendre au-dessus du corps connecteurs. Comme il est montré sur la figure 4, lorsque les volets sont en position de verrouillage, les pattes 6 ménagent entre elles un espace suffisant pour passage, des câbles mais trop étroit pour celui des corps connecteurs. For this purpose and according to one embodiment, two locking flaps are provided, articulated on the lateral faces of the carcass and each having a tab 6 whose free edge can extend above the connector body. As shown in Figure 4, when the flaps are in the locked position, the tabs 6 provide between them sufficient space for passage, cables but too narrow for that of the connector bodies.
Naturellement, le maintien des volets en position de verrouillage peut être assuré un dispositif à clé ou à code et, d'une façon générale, tous moyens uniquement accessibles par une personne autorisée. Naturally, keeping the flaps in the locked position can be ensured with a key or code device and, in general, any means only accessible by an authorized person.
A titre icatif, le moyen décrit ci-dessus peut être remplacé par, moins, une plaque coulissante susceptible de s'étendre, partiellement, dessus des corps des connecteurs. By way of illustration, the means described above can be replaced by, at least, a sliding plate capable of extending, partially, above the bodies of the connectors.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'accès à l'intérieur de la carcasse est rendu possible en prévoyant des volets articulés sur ses faces principales. According to another characteristic of the invention, access to the interior of the carcass is made possible by providing flaps articulated on its main faces.
Selon un mode de réalisation, les faces latérales de la carcasse présentent, chacune, un volet articulé tel que celui 8 et celle avant, un volet tel que celui 9. According to one embodiment, the lateral faces of the carcass each have an articulated flap such as that 8 and that before, a flap such as that 9.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le volet 9 peut être utilisé pour supporter les périphériques internes tels que disques durs, lecteurs de disques ou de disquettes.According to another characteristic of the invention, the shutter 9 can be used to support internal peripherals such as hard disks, disk or floppy drives.
