In one example, a wipe dispensing system includes a housing that defines an internal wipe storage area, a lid rotatably connected to the housing, a fluid reservoir disposed within the housing, and a pump in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir. A fluid discharge manifold is in fluid communication with the pump and is arranged proximate to a portion of a wipe dispensing path. The lid is operably disposed with respect to the pump such that depression of the lid causes discharge of fluid from the pump through the fluid discharge manifold, and also causes partial dispensation of a wipe from the housing.

A hard disk drive bracket includes a bezel, a lever arm attached to the bezel rotatably between a closed position against the bezel and an open position apart from the bezel, wherein a hard disk drive is locked into the hard disk drive bracket when the lever arm is in the closed position, and a multifunction wireform, wherein the multifunction wireform latches the lever arm in the closed position and releases the lever arm into the open position. The hard disk drive bracket may include a release button, wherein the multifunction wireform releases the lever arm upon pressing of the release button. The multifunction wireform may hold and bias the release button. A method of operating a hard disk drive bracket includes disposing a multifunction wireform into a bezel; attaching a lever arm to the bezel rotatably between a closed position and an open position; latching a lever arm against the bezel in the closed position and releasing the latched lever arm into the open position based on operation of the multifunction wireform. The method may include holding and biasing a release button by the multifunction wireform.

A spring loaded drive clip that retains a drive unit, typically a CD drive, in a component tray that is utilized in a rack mounting arrangement for a computer system is disclosed. The clip is mounted onto the chassis of the component tray, and includes a defined internal receiving area that receives the drive. The clip is mounted in the drive compartment so that arms of the clip support the drive as it is inserted into the compartment. As the drive unit is inserted, the arms of the clip are displaced outward by the drive as the drive moves into the compartment, thereby creating a spring force. One of the arms of the clip includes an inward extending securing projection. As the drive is inserted into the compartment, the drive must overcome an inward bias of the arms created by displacement of the spring blade in each of the arms. Therefore, as the drive is seated in the compartment, the securing projection is urged inward toward the drive. As the drive reaches its proper position in the compartment of the component tray, the securing projection slides into a standard tapped mounting hole in the drive case, thereby securing the drive in place.

A computer enclosure for enclosing electrical devices comprises a chassis having a bottom panel and a pair of side panels with a reduced height portion adjacent to a rear panel. The rear panel includes a wing fixedly attached to the reduced height portion and is coplanar to the side panel. The reduced height portion defines a recess. A spring latch extends downward and outward from the wing portion of the rear panel. A cover is detachably assembled to the chassis having a top panel and a pair of side panels corresponding to the side panels of the chassis. The cover includes a latch plate received in the recessed portion of the reduced height portion and engaged with the spring latch and a hook is interlocked to a planar portion of the reduced height portion when the cover is assembled to the chassis.
