First Claim
1. A mechanism for suspending a component below a support, said mechanism comprising:
- a mounting means adapted to be attached to said support; and
component clamping means, said mounting means suspending said clamping means below said support, said clamping means including a support member coupled to said mounting means, a pair of straps each having first and second ends, tension adjustment means mounted on said support member and connected to said first ends of said straps, and attaching means for attaching said second ends to said support member and cooperating with said tension adjustment means to suspend said straps by said first and second ends thereof to form U-shaped loops arranged beneath said support member for receiving said component therewithin, and said tension adjustment means being manually operable to releasably shorten the lengths of said loops for clamping said component relative to said support member.

Abstract
A mechanism for supporting a component, such as a CPU, below a support, includes a support member mounted to depend from the support and being adapted to undergo both horizontally directed sliding movement and pivotal movement about a vertically disposed pivot axis relative thereto, a pair of straps having first and second ends, and a strap tension adjustment device carried by the support member, wherein second ends of the straps are removably fixed to the support member and first ends of the straps are fixed to the tension adjustment device, such that the straps are suspended below the support member as U-shaped loops sized to receive the component therewithin, and the tension adjustment device is manually operable to releasably shorten the lengths of the loops for clamping the component in position relative the support member. The component may be selectively mounted such that its major side surfaces or panels are arranged either normal or parallel to a lower surface of the support.
