Abstract
A mounting apparatus for a data storage device (10) with mounting holes (111) in a side wall (11) includes a bracket (20) and a locking member (30). A resilient clip (222) extends from the bracket. An operating portion (2222) protrudes from a free end of the resilient clip. A retaining tab (2221) protrudes from the free end of the resilient clip for engaging into the mounting hole of the data storage device. The locking member is slidably secured to the bracket, and a pushing portion (34) is formed in the locking member for lifting the operating portion to disengage the retaining tab from the mounting hole of the data storage device.
Claims20
A mounting apparatus for a data storage device with mounting holes defined in a side wall thereof, comprising:
- a bracket for accommodating the data storage device, a resilient clip extending from the bracket, the resilient clip has an operating portion and a retaining tab protruding in opposite directions, the retaining tab adapted for engaging into the mounting hole of the data storage device;
- and
- a locking member slidably secured to the bracket, the locking member comprising a pushing portion for lifting the operating portion, thereby disengaging the retaining tab from the mounting hole of the data storage device.
A data storage device mounting assembly, comprising:
- a data storage device with mounting holes defined in a side wall thereof;
- a bracket for accommodating the data storage device, a resilient clip extending from the bracket, the resilient clip has an operating portion and a retaining tab protruding in opposite directions, the retaining tab engaging into the mounting hole of the data storage device, a slanted surface formed on the operating portion;
- and
- a locking member slidably secured to the bracket, the locking member comprising a pressing portion sliding along on the slanted surface for engaging the retaining tab into the mounting hole of the data storage device.
An electronic device comprising:
- a separable component comprising at least one first engagement means form at a side wall thereof;
- a bracket installed in said electronic device for accommodating said component therein, a second engagement means corresponding to each of said at least one first engagement means formed at a side plate of said bracket and movable toward said each of said at least one first engagement means to engage therewith in order for positioning said component in said bracket when said component is received in said bracket;
- and
- a locking member movably attachable to said side plate of said bracket, said locking member capable of moving parallel to said side plate so as to drive said second engagement means to disengage from said each of said at least one first engagement means and inversely moving parallel to said side plate so as to urge said second engagement means to engage with said each of said at least one first engagement means for said positioning of said component.
