Abstract
A receiving device is introduced for collecting goods such as CDs. The receiving device includes a cabinet and a storage element. The cabinet further comprises a fixing hole and the storage element further comprises a respective fixing rod with an inverted-V top for mating with the fixing hole. The storage element is located inside the cabinet while the fixing rod engages with the fixing hole. The storage element further provides a panel. While the panel rotates to disengage the fixing rod from the fixing hole, the storage element can be separated from the cabinet.
Claims10
A receiving device, comprising:
- a storage element having a panel, a central axis and a fixing rod, the panel being rotatably connected with the central axis for contacting an end of the fixing rod, the fixing rod being pivotally connected to a lateral side of the storage element and shaped as an inverted V having a top at a vertex of the V;
- and
- a cabinet, having a fixing hole for engaging the fixing rod so as to lock the storage element;
- wherein the storage element is fixed in the cabinet when the inverted-V top of the fixing rod engages the fixing hole upon pushing said storage element into the cabinet to a first position;
- and the storage element is separated from the cabinet when the inverted-V top is pushed by the panel to a second position so that said top of the fixing rod disengages the fixing hole by rotating the panel about the central axis.
A CD receiving device for being installed to a disk slot of a computer, comprising:
- a storage element having a panel, a central axis, a fixing rod and a CD receiving layer for collecting CD, the panel being rotatably connected with the central axis for contacting the fixing rod, the fixing rod being pivotally connected to a lateral side of the storage element, the fixing rod being shaped as an inverted V having a top at a vertex of the V;
- and
- a cabinet, having a spring and a fixing hole for engaging the fixing rod so as to lock the storage element;
- wherein the storage element is fixed in the cabinet and the spring is deformed when the inverted-V top of the fixing rod being pushed by the panel to a first position so that said top of the fixing rod engages the fixing hole;
- and an outward force of the spring causes the storage element to separate from the cabinet when the panel is rotated about the central axis and the inverted-V top is pushed by the panel to a second position in which the top of the fixing rod disengages the fixing hole.
A CD receiving device for being installed to a disk slot of a desktop computer, comprising:
- a storage element having a central axis, a fixing rod, a protrusion and a CD receiving layer for collecting CD, the panel being rotatably connected with the central axis for contacting the fixing rod, the fixing rod pivotally connected to a lateral side of the storage element, the fixing rod being shaped as an inverted V and providing an end thereof to contact with the panel, the protrusion located at the lateral side thereof;
- and
- a cabinet, having a spring, a groove and a fixing hole for engaging the fixing rod, the groove located at a side of the cabinet;
- and the groove and the protrusion mutually engaging to make the storage element pivotable with respect to the cabinet so that it hangs from the cabinet when the drawer is pulled out of the cabinet;
- wherein the storage element is fixed in the cabinet and the spring is deformed when the inverted-V top of the fixing rod being pushed by the panel to a first position so that said top of the fixing rod engages the fixing hole;
- and an outward force of the spring causes the storage element to separate from the cabinet when the panel is rotated about the central axis and the inverted-V top is pushed by the panel to a second position in which the top of the fixing rod disengages the fixing hole.
