Abstract
An enclosure of an electronic device includes a chassis defining an opening, a cover attached to the chassis to shield the opening of the chassis, and a latch apparatus mounted to the cover to lock the cover to the chassis. The latch apparatus includes a driving mechanism, a first latch mechanism, and a second latch mechanism. The first and the second latch mechanisms are connected to the driving mechanisms. The driving mechanism is manipulated to operate the first latch mechanism to engage with a first edge of the chassis, and drive the second latch mechanism to engage with a second edge of the chassis.
Claims16
An enclosure for an electronic device, comprising:
- a chassis defining an opening in a side;
- a cover attached to the chassis to shield the opening of the chassis;
- and
- a latch apparatus mounted to the cover, and comprising:
- at least one first latch mechanism;
- at least one second latch mechanism;
- and
- a driving mechanism connected to the at least one first latch mechanism and the at least one second mechanism;
- wherein the driving mechanism is pivotable between a close position, where the at least one first latch mechanism and the at least one the second latch mechanism are driven to correspondingly securely engage with a first edge and at least one of opposite second edges of the chassis adjoining the first edge at the opening, and an open position, where the at least one first latch mechanism and the at least one second latch mechanism are disengaged from the chassis.
A latch apparatus to latch a cover to a chassis, the latch apparatus comprising:
- a first latch mechanism comprising a latching member movably mounted to the cover between a lock position and an unlock position, thereby operable to releasably engage with a first edge of the chassis;
- a second latch mechanism comprising a plurality of locking members each moveably mounted to the cover between a lock position and an unlock position, thereby operable to releasably engage with a second edge of the chassis adjoining the first edge;
- and
- a driving mechanism connected to the first latch mechanism and the second mechanism;
- wherein the driving mechanism is manipulated to cause movements of the first latch mechanism and the second latch mechanism.
