Abstract
A fixing apparatus for a functional module having a front wall and a first sidewall has a chassis with a sideboard having fastening holes, a first locking member sliding on the first sidewall and including a number of claws, and a driving fork sliding on the front wall of the functional module and having at least one wedge slidably engaging the first locking member. When the driving fork slides relative to the front wall of the functional module, the first locking member withdraws the claws from the fastening holes of the chassis or to extend the claws into the fastening holes.
Claims10
A fixing apparatus for a functional module, comprising:
- a chassis comprising a sideboard defining a plurality of fastening holes;
- a functional module comprising a front wall and a first sidewall;
- a first locking member slidably attached to the first sidewall and comprising a plurality of claws corresponding to, and capable of engaging with, some of the plurality of fastening holes;
- and
- a driving fork slidably attached to the front wall of the functional module and comprising at least one wedge slidably engaging the first locking member;
- wherein the driving fork is able to slide relative to the front wall of the functional module to withdraw the plurality of claws of the first locking member from the corresponding fastening holes of the chassis or to extend the plurality of claws of the first locking member into the corresponding fastening holes of the chassis.
A fixing apparatus comprising:
- a chassis comprising a pair of sideboards each defining a plurality of fastening holes therein;
- a functional module comprising a front wall, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall;
- a driving fork slidably attached to the front wall of the functional module and comprising a pair of symmetrical wedges;
- and
- a first locking member slidably attached to the first sidewall and a second locking member slidably attached to the second sidewall, the first and second locking members each comprising a plurality of claws corresponding to, and capable of engaging with, some of the plurality of fastening holes;
- wherein the wedges are capable of slidably engaging the first and second locking members, respectively;
- the driving fork is able to slide relative to the front wall of the functional module between a first position in which the first and second locking members are moved toward each other to withdraw the claws from the fastening holes of the chassis, and a second position in which the first and second locking members are moved away from each other to extend the claws into the fastening holes of the chassis.
