Nvidia patents tool to pop circuit boards out of computer cases
Nvidia has filed a patent for a physical tool designed to remove circuit boards from computer chassis. The device features a body with multiple lever arms that pivot against the case, using an angled grip to lift the board's edge and underside simultaneously.
In the filing’s own words
Apparatus including a body formed with a pivot surface and multiple lever arms arranged along the pivot surface, each lever arm formed such that the body forms an acute angle of engagement with a chassis when the pivot surface contacts the chassis and a distal end of the lever arms contacts an underside of a board mounted parallel to the chassis and an arc of the lever arms contacts an edge of the board.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An apparatus comprising: a body comprising a pivot surface; a plurality of lever arms arranged linearly along the pivot surface; and each lever arm formed such that the body forms an acute angle of engagement with a circuit board.
