US 2013/0152479 A1 · HARD DISK DRIVE FILLER

Abstract

A hard disk drive filler (HDD filler) that is detachably installed in a case is disclosed. The HDD filler has a frame body, a pivot axis, and a rotating device; wherein the frame body defines a bottom surface and a top surface which corresponds to the bottom surface. The pivot axis is disposed in the frame body. One end of the rotating device is pivoted to the pivot axis, such that the rotating device can rotate due to gravity to stay within or be partly exposed to the frame body. If the frame body is installed into the case while the bottom surface is upward, the rotating device rotates along the pivot axis and is guided by gravity such that part of the rotating device is exposed to the frame body to stop the installation.

A hard disk drive filler detachably installed in a case, the hard disk drive filler comprising:

a frame body defining a bottom surface and a top surface corresponding to the bottom surface;
a pivot axis located in the frame body;
and
a rotating device;
one end of the rotating device is pivoted to the pivot axis such that the rotating device can rotate due to gravity to stay within or be partly exposed to the frame body;
whereby, if the hard disk drive filler is installed into the case when the bottom surface is upward, the rotating device is guided by gravity to rotate along the pivot axis, until a part of the rotating device is exposed to the frame body to block the frame body and keep it outside the case.
