Mounting apparatus for storage devices

A mounting apparatus assembly comprising:

• a storage device with a plurality of mounting holes in a side thereof;
• a bracket adapted for accommodating the storage device therein, and comprising a first sidewall abutting the side of the storage device in parallel, and a second sidewall parallel to the first sidewall, a pair of installing plates and a securing portion extending out from the first sidewall, and a plurality of through holes defined in the first sidewall between the pair of installing plates and the securing portion, in alignment with the mounting holes, the pair of installing plates respectively defining a first pivoting hole and a second pivoting hole, the securing portion defining a locking notch;
• and
• an elongated fastener comprising a pivot end pivotally attached to the pair of installing plates, and a free end forming a locking portion engagable with the securing portion, a first pivoting pole and a second pivoting pole respectively received in the first pivoting hole and the second pivoting hole protruding from the pivot end, a block protruding from the locking portion and being received in the locking notch, a plurality of locking pegs projecting from the fastener along a direction perpendicular to the elongated extension direction of the fastener, and being inserted into the corresponding mounting holes of the storage device via the through holes of the first sidewall, wherein when the locking pegs are engaged in the mounting holes of the storage device, the fastener is substantially parallel with the side of the storage device with the block engaging with the locking notch.

A mounting apparatus for holding a storage device with a plurality of mounting holes in a side thereof, the mounting apparatus comprising:

• a bracket adapted for receiving the storage device therein, and comprising a sidewall abutting the side of the storage device, a pair of installing plates and a securing portion extending out from the sidewall, the pair of installing plates respectively defining a first pivoting hole and a second pivoting hole, the securing portion defining a locking notch;
• an elongated locking plate forming a plurality of locking pegs perpendicularly projecting therefrom, the locking pegs capable of being inserted into the corresponding mounting holes of the storage device;
• and
• an elongated installing member comprising a pivot end and a locking portion opposite to the pivot end, a first pivoting pole and a second pivoting pole protruding from the pivot end and being respectively received in the first pivoting hole and the second pivoting hole, thereby the pivot end being pivotally attached to the pair of installing plates, a block protruding from the locking portion and capable of being received in the locking notch to secure the storage device in the bracket;
• wherein the installing member is pivotable between a first position where the installing member is at an angle in relation to the sidewall of the bracket, and second position where the installing member is substantially parallel with the sidewall of the bracket, and the locking plate is fixed to the installing member and rotatable together with the installing member.
