Abstract
A computer enclosure includes a chassis (90), a cover (10) and a resilient member (50). The chassis includes a recess (911) and at least one locking member (70). A cover is mounted on the chassis. The cover has a stop (115) adapted to engage with the locking member for securing the cover on the chassis. The resilient member is attached to the cover and compressed in the recess for forcing the cover to move away from the chassis when the locking member is disengaged from the stop.
Claims18
A computer enclosure comprising:
- a chassis comprising a side wall, the side wall defining a first opening and a third opening, a locking member secured on an inner side of the side wall, the locking member comprising an elastic finger, the elastic finger comprising a second hook extending through the first opening from the inner side of the side wall to protrude out of an outer side of the side wall, the locking member further comprising an protrusion extending through the first opening from the inner side of the side wall to protrude out of the outer side of the side wall;
- a cover adapted to be mounted on the chassis, the cover comprising a side panel facing the outside of the side wall of the chassis, the side panel forming a stop configured to slide over the second hook and bend the elastic finger to engage with the second hook;
- and
- a pressing member mounted on the side panel of the cover with one free end of the pressing member secured on the side panel and the other free end adapted to swing on the side panel, the other free end of the pressing member being aligned with the protrusion configured to push the protrusion to bend the elastic finger to disengage the second hook from the stop.
A computer enclosure comprising:
- a chassis comprising at least one locking member, the locking member comprising a pair of wings, an elastic finger formed between the pair of wings, and a connecting portion connecting an end of the elastic finger and the two wings together adapted to bend the other end of elastic finger around the connecting portion, the pair of wings firmly secured on the chassis, the other end of the elastic finger forming a second hook thereon;
- a cover adapted to be mounted on the chassis, the cover having a stop, the stop configured to slide over the second hook and bend the elastic finger to engage with the second hook for securing the cover on the chassis;
- and
- a resilient member compressed between the chassis and the cover for forcing the cover to move away from the chassis when the second hook is disengaged from the stop.
A computer enclosure comprising:
- a chassis comprising a side wall with at least one opening defined, a plurality of tabs being formed on an inner surface of the side wall;
- a cover mounted on the chassis, the cover having a stop formed on an inner surface of the cover;
- and
- a locking member retained on the inner surface of the side wall of the chassis by the plurality of tabs, the locking member having at least one resilient hook extending through the opening in the side wall of the chassis and engaging with the stop of the cover;
- whereby when the hook of the locking member is deformed into the opening of the chassis, the cover is ready to be removed wherein a pressing member for deforming the hook of the locking member is attached to the cover, and the pressing member is accessible outside.
