ABSTRACT:
The invention protects a printer, scanner, copier and/or FAX machine against shock, particularly during shipping and the like. The system includes side covers, and a subsystem to attach them to a major chassis element. Preferably this subsystem omnidirectionally transfers shock between the covers and the chassis element, and includes a hand-in-glove fit of a portion of the chassis element into each cover, with a snap connector holding the chassis element and covers in the hand-in-glove fit. Also preferably a subsystem is included to attach the covers to a main structural assembly. This subsystem is integrally formed in the covers and main assembly, and takes up at least four degrees of freedom of motion between them. Another preferable subsystem attaches the covers to a first major chassis element with omnidirectional transfer of shock loads, and to a second major chassis element with directionally selective coupling of such loads--particularly as between forces generally tangential to the covers and forces generally normal to the covers.
