Abstract
A computer case with side panel clip fastening configuration utilizing a direct clip fastening method to quickly secure side panels of a computer case to a computer case housing. An inner catch first lodges into a notch defined on the side panel, and subsequently rotated 90° therein to secure its positioning. The configuration further employs a cylindrical positioning socket configured on the clip fasteners to pass through through-holes defined in the side panels and thereupon into securing holes defined in the computer case housing. The side panels and computer case housing are thereby assembled to form a computer case in its entirety.
Claims4
A computer case with side panel clip fastening configuration, comprising clip fasteners to fasten two side panels of the computer case to two sides of a computer housing, wherein securing holes are defined in the edges of the computer housing, and slits are further defined close to the securing holes;
- through-holes are defined close to the edges of the side panels, and two notches having notch tracks for fastening purposes are further defined near to the through-holes, catch-slots are defined in one-half of the notches forming grooves, such that the diameter of the grooves of the catch-slots are larger than the notch tracks of the notches, thereby facilitating catches configured on the clip fasteners to lodge therein;
- the clip fastener is configured to follow along the notch track upon rotating, thereby enabling rotating therein;
- a positioning socket is configured close to the edge of the catch, thereby passing through a though-hole in the side panels and a securing hole defined in the computer housing, thereby securely fastening the side panels to the computer case housing.
