Abstract
A computer enclosure includes a chassis (20), a drive bracket (10) rotatably attached to the chassis and a holder (50). The chassis includes a pair of parallel beams (30,40). The drive bracket forms a sliding member (111). The holder is secured to one of the beams of the chassis, and defines a groove (531). A number of holding positions (534) are defined in the groove to selectively hold the sliding member of the drive bracket.
Claims20
A computer enclosure comprising:
- a chassis comprising a pair of beams, an L-shaped slot defined in a front portion of each of the beams;
- a drive bracket configured for holding an electronic component, and comprising a pair of side plates, a pivot formed from a front portion of each of the side plates for being slidably received in a corresponding slot of the chassis, a sliding member formed from one of the side plates of the drive bracket and located at a rear side of a corresponding pivot;
- and
- a holder secured to one of the beams of the chassis, the holder defining a groove therein, an upper portion of the groove being open for the sliding member to slide into the groove, two opposite side walls of the groove defining at least one pair of recesses to form at least one holding position thereby to hold the sliding member of the drive bracket in said at least one holding position;
- wherein the sliding member slides along the groove, and is held in said at least one holding position of the holder, the drive bracket is inclinedly positioned.

Amounting assembly comprising:
- a chassis, a plurality of bent pieces formed from the chassis;
- a drive bracket rotatably attached to the chassis, a sliding member formed from a side plate of the drive bracket;
- and
- a holder comprising an arcuate groove and a flange surrounding side walls of the groove, the holder secured to the chassis via the flange, an interspace defined between side walls of the groove and the flange to provide deformation space when the sliding member slides in the groove, a width of the groove being smaller than a diameter of the sliding member;
- wherein the bent pieces restrict the flange to secure the holder on the chassis, the sliding member slides along the groove and the drive bracket is held in an inclined position.
2 more elements
An electronic device comprising:
- a chassis partially enclosing said electronic device and having an opening accessible to an interior of said electronic device;
- a bracket for fixing a component of said electronic device therein and movably attachable to said chassis to move across said opening of said chassis between at least two positions thereof relative to said chassis, said bracket and said component therein being accessibly reachable outside said chassis in one of said at least two positions thereof, and unreachable by enclosing of said chassis in another of said at least two positions;
- and
- a holder disposed in said electronic device to engage with one of said bracket and said chassis and temporarily hold said bracket in each of said at least two positions thereof, and movement of said bracket relative to said chassis being available when said holder totally disengages with said one of said bracket and said chassis, said holder defines a groove therein so as to be engagable with a sliding member of one of said bracket and said chassis when said sliding member moves into said groove along an extending direction of said groove from an open end of said groove, said holder comprising a flange surrounding side walls of said groove, for being attached to one of said bracket and said chassis, an interspace defined between side walls of said groove and said flange to provide deformation space of said side walls of said groove when said sliding member slides in said groove, a width of said groove is smaller than a diameter of said sliding member.
