Abstract
An apparatus (e.g. a portable computer) is provided which includes a peripheral device (e.g. a hard disk) and a bracket. The bracket maybe configured to rigidly attach the peripheral device to the apparatus. Further, the bracket may be configured to guide the peripheral device into electrical contact with the apparatus.
Claims33
An apparatus for connecting a peripheral device to a main device comprising:
- a peripheral device;
- and
- a bracket, wherein the bracket is configured to:
- rigidly attach the peripheral device to the main device;
- and
- guide the peripheral device into electrical contact with the main device, wherein the bracket comprises at least one groove, and the at least one groove is configured to receive at least one protrusion of the peripheral device, and wherein the peripheral device travels in a first direction then a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction along the least one groove.
An apparatus comprising:
- a computer;
- a hard disk;
- and
- means for rigidly attaching the hard disk to the computer and guiding the hard disk into electrical contact with the computer.
A portable computer comprising a HDD attaching/detaching unit comprising:
- a HDD bracket configured to receive a HDD and fasten the HDD to a rear cover, wherein the HDD bracket is configured with a connector for connection of the HDD to the portable computer, wherein the HDD is configured to attach to and detach from the HDD bracket;
- and
- a plurality of attaching/detaching protuberances and attaching/detaching protuberance guiding grooves formed corresponding to each other on both sides of the HDD and the HDD bracket, respectively, wherein the attaching/detaching protuberance guiding grooves are formed in a “L” shape so that the attaching/detaching protuberances are joined into the attaching/detaching protuberance guiding grooves in a sliding manner.
An HDD attaching/detaching unit for attaching/detaching an HDD to a main device, comprising:
- a HDD bracket configured to receive an HDD and fasten the HDD to a main device, wherein the HDD bracket comprises a connector for electrical connection of the HDD to the main device, wherein the HDD is configured to attach to and detach from the HDD bracket;
- and
- a plurality of attaching/detaching protuberances and attaching/detaching protuberance guiding grooves formed corresponding to each other on both the HDD and the HDD bracket, respectively.
An apparatus for connecting a peripheral device to a main device comprising:
- a bracket, wherein the racket is configured to:
- rigidly attach peripheral device to the main device;
- and
- guide the peripheral device into electrical contact with the main device, wherein the bracket comprises at least one groove, and the at least one groove is configured to receive at least one protrusion of the peripheral device, and wherein the peripheral device travels in a first direction then a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction along the at least one groove.
An apparatus for connecting a peripheral device to a main device comprising:
- a peripheral device;
- and
- a bracket, wherein the bracket is configured to:
- rigidly attach e peripheral device to the main device;
- and
- guide the peripheral device into electrical contact with the main device, wherein the bracket comprises at least one groove, and the at least one groove is configured to receive at least one protrusion of the peripheral device, and wherein the peripheral device is in direct electrical contact with the main device when the at least one protrusion of the peripheral device is positioned at an end of the at least one groove.
