ABSTRACT:
A devices cage comprises a first wall having m parallel channels across a length of the first wall and a second wall having n parallel channels across a length of the second wall. In some embodiments, n is at least equal to m. Each parallel channel is equal to a diameter of a head of a drive mounting screw. The first wall comprises at least one bridge positioned across each m parallel channel and at least one clamp spring integrally coupled to a top of each m parallel channel. The second wall also comprises at least one bridge positioned across each n parallel channel. Each end of the m parallel channel extends at an inwards slant toward a center of the first wall. The inwards slant terminates at a circular area around configured in a dome shape with a flat top.
