First Claim
Patent Images
1. A protective cover for a memory circuit card comprising:
- a pair of cover members for substantially containing the memory circuit card;
said cover members being secured to opposite sides of the memory circuit card;
said pair of cover members defining a socket-receiving channel between a respective printed-circuit-board (PCB) mating face of said pair of cover members;
said pair of cover members including a plurality of positioning, aligning and retaining features for positioning, aligning and retaining the memory circuit card;
said positioning, aligning and retaining features including gripper features engaging the memory circuit card in gripping engagement for positioning a portion of the memory circuit card within said socket-receiving channel with another portion of the memory circuit card extending outside said socket-receiving channel;
said positioning, aligning and retaining features including features receiving fasteners securing said pair of cover members to the memory circuit card; and
said cover members includes latch-engaging features enabling alignment, installation, and removal of the DIMM circuit card from an associated printed circuit board (PCB).

Abstract
A protective cover for a dual inline memory module (DIMM) circuit card includes a pair of cover members for substantially containing the DIMM circuit card. The cover members are secured to opposite sides of the DIMM circuit card. The pair of cover members defines a socket-receiving channel between respective printed-circuit-board (PCB) mating faces of the cover members. The cover members includes a plurality of positioning features engaging the DIMM circuit card for positioning a portion of the DIMM circuit card within the socket-receiving channel.
