Patent ID: 7546943

Claim:
An apparatus to position a component within an enclosure, the apparatus comprising: a positioning member configured to position the component, wherein the component is disposed on a first side of a printed circuit board and the positioning member is disposed on an opposite second side of the printed circuit board relative to the first side, wherein the component has a thermal device adapted to be thermally connected to the component; a clamping member configured to apply a clamping force by, clampingly engaging a levering member and a structure, the levering member and the structure on the second side of the printed circuit board, the structure forming part of an enclosure or being supported on the enclosure; and the levering member connectedly linked to the positioning member and configured to bias the positioning member toward the printed circuit board in response to the clamping force of the clamping member, wherein the levering member pivots at a pivot point in response to the clamping force and biases the positioning member such that the positioning member contacts and positions the printed circuit board and the component such that the component is positioned against the thermal device, wherein the thermal device is supported independent of the clamping member such that the clamping force applies a force against a portion of the printed circuit board in contact with the component resulting in movement of the component toward the thermal device, the printed circuit board supported independent of the clamping member.
