Abstract
A computer enclosure includes a chassis (10) and a bracket (20) secured in the chassis. The bracket includes a bottom wall (201) and two parallel first side walls (203, 204) bent from opposite edges of the bottom wall in a first direction for securing a first disk drive therebetween. The bottom wall defines an opening (202) for a second disk drive (40) inserting therethrough. Two parallel second side walls (206, 207) are bent from opposite edges of the opening in a second direction for securing a second disk drive therebetween. The second direction opposes to the first direction.
Claims18
A computer enclosure comprising:
- a chassis;
- and
- a bracket secured in the chassis, the bracket comprising a bottom wall and two parallel first side walls bent from opposite edges of the bottom wall in a first direction for securing a first disk drive therebetween, the bottom wall defining an opening for a second disk drive inserting therethrough, two parallel second side walls being bent from opposite edges of the opening in a second direction for securing the second disk drive therebetween, the second direction opposing to the first direction, the first side walls of the bracket being perpendicular to the second side walls.
A mounting apparatus for a disk drive with a post disposed thereon, comprising:
- a bracket comprising a bottom wall and two parallel first side walls bent from opposite edges of the bottom wall in a first direction for securing a first disk drive there between, the bottom wall defining an opening for a second disk drive inserting therethrough, two parallel second side walls being bent from opposite edges of the opening in a second direction for securing the second disk drive therebetween, the second direction opposing to the first direction, first side walls of the bracket being perpendicular to the second side walls, the opening being configured to receive the second disk drive in a direction to position between the second side walls, the direction being perpendicular to the bottom wall, adjacent edges of the opening being positioned in the bottom wall;
- and a locking member pivotably attached to one of the second side walls of the bracket for engaging with the post of the second disk drive and blocking the post sliding out of the slot, a resilient finger tab being formed on the locking member and abutting against the second side wall of the bracket for maintaining the engagement between the post of the second disk drive and the locking member.
A computer enclosure comprising:
- a chassis comprising a bottom plate, a first side plate and a second side plate perpendicularly connected with each other, the first side plate defining an opening therethrough, the second side plate defining a mounting slot;
- a bracket attached to the first and second side plates, the bracket comprising a bottom wall parallel to the bottom plate, a pair of first side walls extending from the bottom wall in a first direction perpendicular to the bottom plate, a pair of second side wails extending from the bottom wall in a second direction opposing to the first direction, the second side walls being perpendicular to the first side wails, a first space being formed between the first side walls and communicating with the opening of the chassis for receiving a first disk drive via the opening, a second space being formed between the second side walls for receiving a second disk drive therebetween;
- and a tray positioned between the first and second disk drives;
- wherein the bottom wall of the bracket defines an opening to allow the first space communicating with the second space, and the tray covers the second disk drive at the opening.
