Abstract
A mounting apparatus is provided for fixing a computer case to a liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor. The mounting apparatus includes a supporting bracket attached to a backside of the LCD monitor, and a latch mechanism movably mounted to the supporting bracket. The latch mechanism includes a locking member slidably engaging with the supporting bracket, and a driving member slidably engaging with the supporting bracket. The locking member may slides to a locking position to hold the computer case to the supporting bracket. The driving member is capable of being slid in a direction to push the locking member to an unlocking position, where the computer case is ready for being released from the supporting bracket.
Claims18
A mounting apparatus for a computer case, the mounting apparatus comprising:
- a supporting bracket mounted to a flat surface to support the computer case;
- and
- a latch mechanism installed to the supporting bracket, the latch mechanism comprising:
- a locking member slidably mounted to the supporting bracket and operable to be between a locking position to retain the computer case to the supporting bracket, and an unlocking position to enable the computer case to be released from the supporting bracket;
- a first resilient member connected between the locking member and the supporting bracket, and providing a restoring force to drive the locking member towards the locking position;
- a driving member slidably mounted to the supporting bracket, wherein the locking member is urged towards the unlocking position by the driving member in response to the driving member sliding along a first direction;
- and
- a second resilient member connected between the driving member and the supporting bracket, and providing a restoring force to drive the driving member to slide in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
The computer system comprising:
- a liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor;
- a mounting apparatus comprising:
- a supporting bracket mounted to a backside of the LCD monitor;
- and
- a latch mechanism installed to the supporting bracket;
- and
- a computer case supported on the supporting bracket and retained by the latch mechanism;
- wherein the latch mechanism comprises:
- a locking member slidably mounted to the supporting bracket and operable to be between a locking position to retain the computer case to the supporting bracket, and an unlocking position to enable the computer case to be released from the supporting bracket;
- a first resilient member connected between the locking member and the supporting bracket, and providing a restoring force to drive the locking member towards the locking position;
- a driving member slidably mounted to the supporting bracket, the locking member is urged towards the unlocking position by the driving member in response to the driving member sliding along a first direction;
- and
- a second resilient member connected between the driving member and the supporting bracket, and providing a restoring force to drive the driving member to slide in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
