Abstract
A mounting assembly includes a bezel (10) and a chassis (60). The chassis comprises a front panel (62) defining a plurality of fixing slots (42) along one side and a plurality of mounting openings (22) along the opposite side, each mounting opening comprises a large zone (63) and a smaller zone (65) communicating with each other. The bezel extends a plurality of posts (12) provided with a pivot means and a plurality of hooks (14). The pivot means is a fixing member (24) capable of extending through the large zone of a corresponding mounting opening and sliding into the smaller zone, thereby pivotably attaching the bezel to the chassis, and the hooks can be engaged in the fixing slots thereby securing the bezel on the chassis.
Claims20
A mounting assembly comprising:
- a chassis comprising a front panel, the front panel defining a plurality of fixing slots along one side thereof and at least one mounting opening at an opposite side thereof, the at least one mounting opening comprising a large zone and a smaller zone communicating with each other;
- and
- a bezel comprising a plurality of hooks along one side thereof corresponding to the fixing slots of the chassis, and at least one post at an opposite side thereof corresponding to the at least one mounting opening of the chassis, at least one pivot means being provided at the at least one post;
- wherein the at least one pivot means can be extended through the large zone of the at least one mounting opening and slid into the smaller zone of the at least one mounting opening, thereby pivotably attaching the bezel to the chassis, and the hooks can be engaged in the fixing slots thereby securely mounting the bezel on the chassis.
A mounting assembly comprising:
- a first part comprising a front panel, the front panel defining a plurality of fixing slots along one side thereof and at least one mounting opening at an opposite side thereof, the at least one mounting opening comprising a large zone and a smaller zone communicating with each other;
- and
- a second part comprising a plurality of hooks corresponding to the fixing slots of the first part, and at least one post corresponding to the at least one mounting opening of the first part;
- wherein the at least one post is extended through the large zone of the at least one mounting opening and slid into the smaller zone of the at least one mounting opening, thereby pivotably attaching the second part to the first part, and the hooks are second part on the first part.
A mounting assembly comprising:
- a chassis including a front panel defining opposite first and second sides thereof;
- a bezel positioned behind the front panel in a front-to-back direction and defining thereof opposite third and fourth sides in front-to-back direction, respectively;
- at least one hook formed on one of said first side and said third side, and at least one fixing slot formed in the other of said first side and said third side to latchably engage the hook;
- and
- at least one post formed on one of said second side and said fourth side, and at least one mounting opening formed in the other of said second side and said fourth side to receive said post;
- wherein
- said mounting opening and said post are configured to be in a structural relation which allows said post to not only be freely assembled into the mounting opening in a first position but also be restrictively engaged therein in a second position where the front panel is allowed to be forwardly rotatable relative to the bezel until the front panel is closely encountered by the bezel and the hook is latchably engaged within the fixing slot.
