## Abstract

An electronic device enclosure includes a bottom cover, a bottom frame, and a mounting member. The mounting member is slidable relative to the bottom cover and the bottom frame along a first direction to engage the bottom cover with the bottom frame. The mounting member is slidable relative to the bottom cover and the bottom frame along a second direction to disengage the bottom cover from the bottom frame.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic device enclosure comprising:
a bottom cover defining a latching slot and comprising a first latching portion;
a bottom frame comprising a hook engaged in the latching slot; and
a mounting member slidably mounted on the bottom frame and comprising a second latching portion;
wherein the mounting member is slidable relative to the bottom cover and the bottom frame along a first direction or a second direction; when the mounting member is slid along the first direction, the second latching portion is engaged with the second latching portion to secure the bottom frame to the bottom cover; and when the mounting member is slid along the second direction, the second latching portion is disengaged from the second latching portion.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 1, wherein the bottom frame further comprises a latching portion comprising two resilient pieces substantially parallel to each other; the mounting member defines a stepped slot, which has a latching surface; and the latching portion is received in the stepped slot, and the two resilient pieces are engaged with the latching surface.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 1, wherein the bottom frame comprises a bottom plate, a first limiting piece, and a second limiting piece extending from the bottom plate; and the mounting member is located between the first limiting piece and the second limiting piece.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 1, further comprising a resilient member, wherein the resilient member comprises a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, the first end is secured to the bottom frame, and the second end is secured to the mounting member.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 4, wherein the bottom frame further comprises a mounting post, and the mounting member defines a receiving slot and comprising a bent portion in the receiving slot; the resilient member is received in the receiving slot; and the first end is secured to the mounting post, and the second end is secured to the bent portion.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 5, wherein the bent portion extends towards the mounting post.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 5, wherein the mounting member further defines a mounting slot, and the mounting post is received in the mounting slot and slidable relative to the mounting member in the mounting slot.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 1, wherein the mounting member further comprises a limiting slot, the bottom frame further comprises a limiting post, and the limiting post is received in the limiting slot and slidable relative to the mounting member in the limiting slot.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 1, wherein the mounting member further comprises an operation portion, and the operation portion is operable to slide the mounting member.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 1, wherein each of the first latching portion and the second latching portion is “L” shaped.

### Claim 11

An electronic device enclosure comprising:
a bottom cover defining a latching slot and comprising a first latching portion;
a bottom frame comprising a hook engaged in the latching slot;
a mounting member slidably mounted on the bottom frame and comprising a second latching portion; and
a resilient member comprising a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, the first end is secured to the bottom frame, and the second end is secured to the mounting member;
wherein the mounting member is slidable relative to the bottom cover and the bottom frame along a first direction or a second direction; when the mounting member is slid along the first direction, the second latching portion is engaged with the second latching portion to secure the bottom frame to the bottom cover; and when the mounting member is slid along the second direction, the second latching portion is disengaged from the second latching portion.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 11, wherein the bottom frame further comprises a latching portion comprising two resilient pieces substantially parallel to each other; the mounting member defines a stepped slot, which has a latching surface; and the latching portion is received in the stepped slot, and the two resilient pieces are engaged with the latching surface.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 11, wherein the bottom frame comprises a bottom plate, a first limiting piece, and a second limiting piece extending from the bottom plate; and the mounting member is located between the first limiting piece and the second limiting piece.
