Abstract
A mounting apparatus includes a bracket (10), a tray (20) for holding a disk drive (40), and an operating member (30). The bracket includes a bottom wall (12) and a pair of parallel side walls (17, 18) bent from the bottom wall. A locking piece (176) protrudes from one of the side walls. The tray is slidably secured on the bottom wall of the bracket. The operating member includes a shaft (32) rotatably secured on the side walls of the bracket and a handle (34) bent from the shaft for engaging with the locking piece of the bracket. The operating member is rotatable to urge the shaft to slide the tray along the bottom wall when the handle is disengaged from the locking piece.
Claims20
A mounting apparatus comprising:
- a bracket comprising a bottom wall and a pair of parallel side walls bent from the bottom wall, a locking piece protruding from one of the side walls;
- a tray configured for holding a disk drive thereto being slidably secured on the bottom wall of the bracket;
- and
- an operating member comprising a shaft rotatably secured on the side walls of the bracket and a handle bent from the shaft for engaging with the locking piece of the bracket, the operating member being rotatable to urge the shaft to slide the tray along the bottom wall when the handle is disengaged from the locking piece.
A mounting apparatus comprising:
- a bracket;
- a tray for holding a disk drive being slidably secured in the bracket, a pressing piece and a blocking piece being bent from the tray;
- and
- an operating member rotatably secured on the bracket, the operating member comprising a driving portion which is sandwiched between the pressing piece and the blocking piece, and capable of pushing the pressing piece and the blocking piece to slide the tray relative to the bracket in opposite two directions when the operating member is rotated in another opposite two directions.
A mounting apparatus comprising:
- a bracket comprising a bottom wall and a pair of side walls extending from the bottom wall;
- a tray configured for holding thereto a disk drive having at least one slider at each of two opposite sidewalls thereof, the tray being slidably secured on the bottom wall of the bracket, the tray comprising a pair of pieces spaced from each other;
- and
- an operating member comprising a shaft rotatably mounted to the side walls of the bracket, the shaft comprising a driving portion positioned between the pieces,
- each of the side walls defining at least one mounting slot having a positioning portion configured for retaining a corresponding slider therein and an entrance portion extending slantly from the positioning portion for providing an access to the corresponding slider to enter into the positioning slot, wherein
- when the operating member is rotated in one of clockwise and anti-clockwise direction the driving portion of the shaft drives one of the pieces of the operating member to cause the tray to slide in a first direction which results in the sliders of the disk drive entering into the positioning portions of the corresponding mounting slots and when the operating member is rotated in the other one of clockwise and anti-clockwise direction the driving portion of the shaft drives the other one of the pieces of the operating member to cause the tray to slide in a second direction opposing to the first direction which results in the sliders of the disk drive withdrawing from the positioning portions.
