Patent ID: 8649169

Claim:
A system configured to secure a computing device, the system comprising: a crossbeam defining a longitudinal axis and including a bottom surface, a top surface configured to support the computing device, and opposing first and second end surfaces generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; a mechanical linkage attached to the crossbeam, the mechanical linkage comprising a first link attached to the first end member, a second link coupled to the first link and attached to the second end member, the first and second links being constrained to move together, the mechanical linkage further comprising a lever arm, the lever arm and the first link being pivotally joined at a pivot point, and the mechanical linkage further comprising a third link connecting the second link to the pivot point; a first end member slidably attached to the crossbeam proximate to the first end surface thereof, the mechanical linkage being attached to the first end member and configured to translate the first end member parallel to the longitudinal axis between an open position and a closed position, the first end member also including a first electrical connector extending therefrom towards the crossbeam and parallel to the longitudinal axis; and a second end member connected to the crossbeam proximate to the second end surface thereof, the second end member including a second electrical connector extending therefrom towards the crossbeam and parallel to the longitudinal axis.
