Abstract
An interface card quick plug-and-unplug device for use with a PCIe interface card is disclosed to include a shell covering a part of the PCIe interface card, and a locating member disposed at one side of the shell and/or the PCIe interface card for engagement with the PCIe slot upon insertion of the PCIe interface card into the PCIe slot. Biasing the locating member allows quick removal of the PCIe interface card from the PCIe slot without any tool. The interface card quick plug-and-unplug device enhances the flexibility of the design of computer circuit layout.
Claims10
An interface card quick plug-and-unplug device, comprising:
- at least one locating member, each said locating member comprising a connection means connected with a PCIe interface card and an open space defined between said locating member and said PCIe interface card above said connection means;
- a shell securing said PCIe interface card and covering a part of said PCIe interface card, wherein said locating member is disposed at one lateral side relative to said shell, said shell comprises a bottom extension downwardly extended from one sidewall thereof opposite to said locating member, said connection means extends from one side of said locating member and connected to said shell, said shell comprises a guide rail vertically located on one side thereof corresponding to said open space, and a positioning member coupled to said guide rail and movable along said guide rail in and out of said open space;
- and
- a contact means located on a bottom side of said locating member for engagement with a PCIe slot upon insertion of said PCIe interface card into said PCIe slot.
