ABSTRACT:
An improved apparatus for and method of attaching a peripheral electronic component to an electronic system uses spring-urged protrusions to attach the peripheral electronic component to the electronic system without screws or other traditional hardware fasteners. Preferably, the spring-urged protrusions are configured to allow quick and easy installation and removal without the need for tools. Further, the apparatus is preferably configured to use standard mounting holes included in most peripheral electronic components. Therefore, the apparatus does not require costly custom modification for use with a variety of peripheral electronic components. More particularly, the apparatus is preferably electrically conductive to ground the chassis of the peripheral electronic component to the electronic system. In addition, the apparatus uses the spring-urged protrusions to reduce or eliminate the transmission of vibration between the peripheral electronic component and the electronic system. The apparatus preferably includes a manually operable mechanism for releasing the spring-urged protrusions to allow quick removal of the peripheral electronic component from the electronic system without the use of tools.
