Abstract

The present invention is related to a resilient contact including a lower clamp and an upper spring arm reversely bent in opposite directions. The lower clamp can be clamped onto the upper plate of the front panel of a hard disk rack. The upper resilient arm withstands a front panel of a hard disk rack. Thus, the present invention is suitable for different size gaps to achieve the goals of electromagnetic conduction, heat conduction, support, etc.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A resilient contact for connecting two parts of a device comprising a plate structure, to which a lower clamp is mounted respectively on and extended from each of two front ends of said plate structure, each said lower clamp is bent reversely adjacent to said plate structure to form a small clamp opening, wherein said small clamp opening is received in between said lower clamp and said plate structure, an upper spring arm is also mounted on and extended from the central segment of the front end of the plate structure; 
 wherein said upper spring arm comprising a first bend, a reverse bow, and a second bend; said first bend is connected to said front end of said plate structure, curving upward to form a first height; said reverse bow is connected between said first bend and said second bend, shaping said second bend to curve upward to form a second height, wherein said first height is less than said second height, a tail end of said second bend is downwardly and reversely curved.    
   
   
       2 . The resilient contact for connecting two parts of a device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the tail end of each said lower clamp is bent downwardly to form a small opening.  
   
   
       3 . The resilient contact for connecting two parts of a device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said plate structure further comprises at least one sag piece, extending within the dimension of said small clamp opening.  
   
   
       4 . The resilient contact for connecting two parts of a device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said plate structure further comprises a cut-through slot, through which said at least one sag piece extends downward from the margin of said cut-through slot.  
   
   
       5 . The resilient contact for connecting two parts of a device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said at least one sag piece extends forward.
