Abstract
A computer enclosure includes a chassis, a top cover pivotally mounted to the chassis, a side cover pivotally mounted on the chassis, a pair of springs, and a locating member slidably mounted to the side cover. The top cover is formed to have at least one catch thereon. The side cover, the chassis, and the top cover configure a receiving space for accommodating other components. The locating member defines at least one latching opening therein for engaging with the catch. When the top cover is pivoted downward, the catch of the top cover engages in the latching opening of the locating member firmly, thereby interlocking the top cover and the side cover detachably.
Claims13
A computer enclosure comprising:
- a chassis;
- a top cover pivotally mounted to the chassis, the top cover having at least one catch;
- a side cover pivotally mounted to the chassis;
- the side cover, the chassis, and the top cover configuring a receiving space for accommodating other components;
- and
- a locating member slidably mounted on the side cover, the catch engaging with the locating member, whereby when the top cover is pivoted, the catch of the cover engages with the locating member, thereby interlocking the top cover and the side cover detachably;
- wherein the computer enclosure further comprises a pair of elastic components for moving the locating member to an original position;
- wherein the locating member is formed to have a pair of positioning posts for the elastic components being disposed thereon respectively;
- and
- wherein the side cover forms a pair of positioning tabs with locating holes defined therein respectively, the positioning costs of the locating member extend through the locating holes of the positioning tabs respectively.
A computer enclosure comprising:
- a chassis;
- a top cover pivotally mounted to the chassis, the top cover having a catch bent from an end of the top cover;
- a side cover mounted to the chassis, the side cover, the chassis, and the top cover configuring a receiving space for accommodating other components;
- a locating member slidably mounted on the side cover, the catch engaging with the locating member, and;
- at least one elastic component urging the locating member to move towards an original position, whereby when the top cover is pivoted, the catch of the top cover engages with the locating member, thereby interlocking the top cover and the side cover detachably;
- wherein the locating member defines at least one latching opening therein, and the catch engages in the at least one latching opening.
