Abstract
A mounting apparatus includes a chassis, a bracket, a handle, and a sliding component. The bracket is attachable to the chassis and configured to receive a disk drive. The securing component is secured to the bracket. The handle is secured to the securing component, and a latch portion extends from the handle. The handle is rotatable relative to the securing component between an open position where the latch portion is out of the securing component, and a close position where the latch portion is in the securing component. The sliding component is secured to the bracket, and slidable on the securing component between a first position, where the latch portion is engageable with the latch portion, and a second position, where the latch portion is prevented from disengaging from the sliding component.
Claims20
A mounting apparatus comprising:
- a chassis;
- a bracket attachable to the chassis and configured for receiving a disk drive;
- a securing component secured to the bracket and defining a through hole;
- a handle secured to the securing component, a latch portion extending from the handle, the handle being rotatable relative to the securing component between an open position, where the latch portion is out of the securing component, and a close position, where the latch portion is in the securing component;
- a sliding component secured to the bracket, the sliding component being slidable on the securing component between a first position, where the latch portion is engaged with the sliding component, and a second position, where the latch portion is disengaged from the sliding component;
- and
- a latch mechanism attached to the sliding component and engaging with the through hole, to block the sliding component from sliding relative to the securing component;
- and the latching mechanism is slidable relative to the securing component to disengage from the though hole, to allow the sliding component to side sliding relative to the securing component.
A mounting apparatus comprising:
- a bracket configured for receiving a disk drive;
- a securing component secured to the bracket;
- a handle rotatably secured to the securing component;
- a sliding component secured to the bracket, the sliding component being slidable on the securing component between a first position, where the latch portion is engageable with the handle, and a second position, where the latch portion is away from the handle;
- and
- a latch mechanism secured to the sliding component and slidable between an unlocked position, where the latch mechanism disengages from the securing component so that the sliding component is slidable on the sliding component, and a locked position, where the latch mechanism engages with the securing component so that the sliding component is blocked from sliding by the operating mechanism.
