Abstract
A computer enclosure includes a chassis (30), a cover (20) attached to the chassis (30) and a lock system (40) for securing the cover (20) on the chassis (30). The lock system (40) includes a spring (46) and a locking piece (42) pivotally attached to the cover (20). The locking piece (42) has a driving portion (426) at one end and at least one hook (424) at the other end. The spring (46) urges the hook (424) to engage with the chassis (30). When the driving portion (426) is pushed, the hook (424) is levered and disengaged from the chassis (30).
Claims19
A computer enclosure comprising:
- a chassis;
- a cover attached to the chassis, the cover comprising an opening and a pair of securing barbs extending from the cover;
- and
- a lock system for securing the cover on the chassis, the lock system comprising a spring and a locking piece pivotally attached to the cover, the locking piece having a driving portion at one end and at least one hook at the other end, the spring urging the hook to engage with the chassis;
- and
- a button comprising a pressing body received in the opening for pushing the driving portion of the locking piece and a pair of securing holes for the securing barbs engaging therein, whereby when the driving portion is pushed, the hook is levered and disengaged from the chassis.
A computer enclosure comprising:
- a chassis;
- a cover pivotally attached to the chassis, the cover comprises a panel and a bracket, a pair of tabs protruded from the bracket, a pivotal hole defined in each tab;
- and
- a lock system disposed between the panel and the bracket of the cover for securing the cover to the chassis, the lock system comprising a rotatable lock and a locking piece pivotally engaging with the pivotal holes of the tabs, the lock having a lock tab, the locking piece being abutted against by the lock tab to engage with the chassis, whereby when the lock is rotated, the locking piece is ready to be pivoted to disengage from the chassis.
An electronic device comprising:
- a chassis partially enclosing said electronic device;
- a cover movably attached to said chassis and entirely enclosing said electronic device in cooperation with said chassis, said cover movable between a first position where a side of said electronic device is covered by said cover, and a second position where said side of said electronic device is uncovered from said cover;
- and
- a lock system situated between said cover and said chassis and capable of retaining said cover in said first position and releasing said cover to allow said cover movable from said first position to said second position, said lock system having an operable button operatively exposable to an outside of said electronic device, and a locking piece capable of resiliently engaging with the chassis in said first position of said cover and capable of disengaging from said chassis along a first direction by means of movable operation of said button along second direction opposite to said first direction.
