Abstract

A fixing tool for quickly setting up a secure device with an engaging member and a secure unit is used for mounting the secure device to an electronic component. The fixing tool includes a main member, a driving member with an extending part pivotally connected to the main member and an ejection member with an ejecting part disposed at the bottom cover of the main member. The bottom cover defines a moving direction and a rotating direction and the driving member rotates between a prior-trigger position and a trigger position along the rotating direction and the ejection member moves between a prior-ejecting position and an ejection position. When the driving member is disposed at the prior-trigger position, the ejection member is at the prior-ejecting position. When the driving member is disposed at the trigger position, the ejection member is disposed at the ejection position and the engaging member in the containing chamber is pushed by the ejection member to join with the secure unit.

Dependent claims

A fixing tool for quickly setting up at least a secure device, which is provided with an engaging member and a secure unit, and for mounting the secure device to an electronic component, the tool comprising:

a main member with an upper end providing a bottom cover and defining a moving direction and a rotational direction;
a driving element with an actuation part being pivotally connected to the upper end of the main member for being able to rotate between a prior-trigger position and a trigger position;
and
an ejection member with an ejecting part, being provided at the bottom cover and connected to the actuation part for being able to move between a prior-ejecting position and an ejection position;
whereby, the ejection member is located at the prior-ejecting position in case of the driving member being located at the prior-triggering position;
and the ejection member is located at the ejection position to push the engaging member, which is disposed at the bottom cover, to engage with the secure unit, which is attached to the electronic device, in case of the driving member being located at the trigger position, such that the secure device is capable of being mounted to the electronic device.
