US Patent 10925186 Vertical lift heat transfer device for pluggable modules

Embodiments are directed to an assembly including a bay structure including a bay structure that defines a bay for receiving a pluggable module and including sides and a front plate rotatably connected to the sides, a connecting bracket coupled with the bay structure, and a heat transfer device coupled with the bay structure. The bay structure, the heat transfer device, and the connecting bracket are configured such that rotating the front plate from a first position to a second position displaces the connecting bracket in a first direction which causes the connecting bracket to displace the heat transfer device in a second direction transverse to the first direction.
