A mounting apparatus for a disk drive includes a tray, a bracket, and a latch member. The tray supports the disk drive. A resiliently deformable hook is formed on the tray. The tray defines two pair of first and second sliding slots. The bracket receives the tray and the disk drive, and defines a positioning opening. Two pair of posts are formed at two opposite ends of the latch member. The posts slide and rotate in the sliding slots. A positioning tab is formed the latch member and engages in the positioning opening to prevent the tray sliding out of the bracket. A blocking tab is formed on the latch member, and engages with the hook to remain engagement between the positioning tab and the positioning opening, and to disengage from the hook when the hook is deformed.

1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to mounting apparatuses, and particularly to a mounting apparatus for a disk drive.
2. Description of Related Art
Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with references to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
FIG. 1 is an assembled view of an embodiment of a mounting apparatus and a disk drive.
FIG. 2 is an exploded, isometric view of the disk drive, a shielding member, the tray, and a latch member of FIG. 1.
Referring to FIGS. 1-3, an embodiment of a mounting apparatus is configured to secure a disk drive 50, and includes a bracket 10, a tray 20, and a latch member 40.
The bracket 10 includes a top plate 11, a bottom plate 12 parallel to the top plate 11, and two parallel side plates 14 perpendicular to the top plate 11. A plurality of support flanges 131 is bent in from each of the side plates 13, 14. Two positioning openings 132 are defined in the side plate 13 adjacent front edges thereof.
The tray 20 is configured to be inserted into the bracket 10, and supported by the support flanges 131. The tray 20 includes a base portion 21 and a support portion 22 extending from the base portion 21. A holding slot 210 is defined in the base portion 21, and surrounded by two parallel horizontal walls 211 and a vertical wall 212 perpendicular to the horizontal walls 211. A first sliding slot 2113 and a second sliding slot 2114 are defined in two opposite ends of each horizontal wall 211, each of the first and second sliding slots 2113, 2114 communicates with outside of the base portion 21 via an entry 21132, 21142. An installing slot 2115 is defined in one of the horizontal walls 211 between the first and second sliding slots 2113, 2114. A hook 24 is formed on the base portion 211 in the installing slot 2115, and capable of being resiliently deformed away from the other one horizontal wall 211. A through opening 2122 is defined in the vertical wall 212 adjacent the second sliding slot 2114 of the horizontal wall 211. The support portion 22 includes a base wall 223 and two parallel lateral walls 221 perpendicular to the base wall 223. A plurality of locking holes 2213 is defined in the base wall 223 adjacent the base portion 21. An arc-shaped flange 222 is connected between the lateral walls 221 adjacent the base wall 223. Two securing holes 2211 are defined in the lateral walls 221.
