Abstract

An enclosure includes a main body, a cover for covering the main body, a movable member movably attached to an inner surface of the main body, and a latch member. The main body defines a through hole. The cover defines a through hole aligning with the through hole of the main body. The movable member defines a locking hole. The locking hole includes a small part and a large part communicating with the small part. The movable member is moved to align the large part of the locking hole with the through hole of the second sidewall. The latch member extends through the through hole of the cover, the through hole of the second sidewall, and the large part of the locking hole. The movable member then is restored, thereby the latch portion engaging in the small part of the locking hole.

Dependent claims

An enclosure comprising:

a main body comprising a sidewall, the sidewall defining a first through hole;
a cover for covering the main body, the cover defining a second through hole aligning with the first through hole of the sidewall;
a movable member movably attached to an inner surface of the sidewall, the movable member defining a locking hole, the locking hole comprising a small part and a large part communicating with the small part;
a latch member comprising a latch portion;
and
a resilient member connected between the movable member and the sidewall of the main body;
wherein, upon a condition that the movable member moves in a first direction to deform the resilient member, thereby aligning the large part of the locking hole with the first through hole of the sidewall, the latch portion of the latch member extends through the second through hole of the cover, the first through hole of the sidewall, and the large part of the locking hole, then the movable member is restored under bias of the resilient member to move in a second direction, until the latch portion engages in the small part of the locking hole.

4 more elements

An enclosure comprising:

a main body comprising a first sidewall and a second sidewall adjacent to the first sidewall, the first sidewall and the second sidewall each defining a through hole;
a cover for covering the main body, the cover defining a through hole aligning with the through hole of the second sidewall;
a movable member movably attached to an inner surface of the second sidewall, the movable member defining a locking hole, the locking hole comprising a small part and a large part communicating with the small part;
a latch member comprising a latch portion;
and
a slide rail attached to an outer surface of the first sidewall, the slide rail comprising a pole facing the first sidewall;
wherein the latch portion of the latch member extends through the through hole of the cover, the through hole of the second sidewall, and the large part of the locking hole, then the movable member is moved to the first sidewall, until the latch portion engages in the small part of the locking hole, thereby locking the cover to the main body;
and
wherein the pole extends through the through hole of the first sidewall to resist against the movable member, the movable member is moved away from the first sidewall to align the large part of the locking hole with the latch portion, then the latch member is readily drawn out to release the cover from the main body.
