Abstract
A computer housing includes a main body, a panel, a latch piece, and a release member. The main body defines a latch hole. The panel has a hook on a first side thereof. The latch piece is positioned on a second side of the panel and defines a receiving hole therein. The release member is positioned on the main body and forms a latch protrusion. The hook is received in the latch hole of the main body. The latch protrusion engages with the receiving hole such that the panel is locked to the main body. The release member is deformable so that the latch protrusion disengages from the receiving hole.
Claims13
A computer housing comprising:
- a main body defining at least one latch hole;
- a panel comprising at least one hook on a first side thereof;
- at least one latch piece positioned on a second side of the panel and defining a receiving hole therein;
- and
- at least one release member positioned on the main body and forming a latch protrusion, wherein the at least one hook is received in the at least one latch hole of the main body;
- the latch protrusion engages with the receiving hole such that the panel is locked to the main body, and the at least one release member is deformable so that the latch protrusion disengages from the receiving hole.
A release module for a computer housing comprising:
- a main body defining at least one latch hole;
- a panel comprising at least one hook on a first side thereof;
- at least one latch piece positioned on a second side of the panel and defining a receiving hole thereof;
- and
- at least one release member positioned on the main body and forming a latch protrusion, wherein the at least one hook is received in the at least one latch hole of the main body;
