US 7,589,961 B2 · Pushing assembly for data storage device

Abstract

A pushing assembly is provided for pushing a data storage device out of a computer enclosure. The pushing assembly includes a pair of receiving portions, a restricting portion, a pushing device, and a stopping member. The receiving portions and the restricting portion are arranged in the computer enclosure. The pushing device is assembled on the data storage device. The pushing device comprises a pair of pushing portions. The pushing portions press against the receiving portions respectively to push the pushing device moving. The pushing device drives the data storage device to slide a certain distance to facilitate the data storage device being taken out from the computer enclosure. The stopping member is arranged in the restricting portion to keep the pushing device at a locked state.

1 more element

An electronic device comprising:

an enclosure of said electronic device enclosing said electronic device and defining a space therein, an opening defined at said enclosure beside said space to spatially communicate said space with an outside of said electronic device;
and
an electronic component of said electronic device removably installable in said space of said enclosure to function for said electronic device, said electronic component comprising a pushing device attachable thereto, said pushing device constantly applying forces on said electronic component to eject said electronic component out of said space to said outside of said electronic device through said opening when said electronic component completely resides in said space, wherein said pushing device comprises a main body attachable to an end of said electronic component which is located beside said opening when said electronic component completely resides in said space, and a pair of pushing portions formed from two opposite ends of said main body respectively to extend along two corresponding opposite sides of said electronic component and apply said forces for said pushing device to eject said electronic component out of said space.
