A retaining assembly includes a cabinet (), a first rail assembly located in the cabinet, a pair of metal plates () attached on the first rail assembly, a server (), a second rail assembly attached to two sides of the server, two fastening plates () attached to the two sides of the server and two thumbscrews (). A plurality of threaded holes () is defined in two sidewalls of the cabinet. Two first protrusions () are provided in the first rail assembly. Each metal plate has two positioning holes () and a fixing hole (). The first protrusions engagably extend through the positioning holes respectively. Each fastening plate has an inserting hole () corresponding to the fixing hole of the metal plate. The thumbscrews are inserted through corresponding inserting holes of the metal plates to engage in corresponding fixing holes of the metal plates.

Retaining assembly for rack cabinet

A computer enclosure includes a case (), a first rail (), a second rail (), a third rail (), a drive bracket () and a motherboard support tray (). The case includes a bottom wall (), a front wall (), and a rear wall (). The first rail is mounted to a side portion of the bottom wall that is parallel and close to the front wall. The second rail is mounted to the bottom wall, the second rail being spaced from and parallel to the first rail. The third rail is mounted to a side portion of the bottom wall that is parallel and close to the rear wall. The drive bracket is slid between the first and second rails, and is thus removably mounted in the case. The motherboard support tray is slid between the second and third rails, and is thus removably mounted in the case.

Computer enclosure with slidably mounted drive bracket

A drive bracket assembly includes a handle ( ), a fixed base ( ), and a drive bracket ( ). The handle includes a crossbar ( ) and a pair of side arms ( ). A pair of protrusions ( ) is inwardly formed from the side arms respectively. A pair of tabs ( ) depends from a free end of each side arm. The base includes a fixed frame ( ) and a connecting board ( ). A plurality of slots ( ) is defined in the connecting board corresponding to the tabs respectively. The drive bracket includes a pair of sidewalls ( ). A pair of guideways ( ) is formed in the sidewalls, corresponding to the protrusions. In assembly, the handle is pivotably attached to the drive bracket, and the handle is rotated to cause the tabs to be engagingly received in the slots and the protrusions to be snappingly engaged in the guideways.

Drive bracket assembly for computer enclosure

A computer enclosure includes a cage ( ), an upper plate ( ), two expansion bodies ( ), and two operating devices ( ). The cage has a chassis ( ), a frame ( ) received in the chassis, and an anti-EMI plate ( ) attached onto the frame. Two recessed portions ( ) are formed in the upper plate for accommodating the expansion bodies. The operating devices are attached to opposite sides of the chassis. Each operating device has a releasing device ( ), a driving device ( ), and a controlling device ( ). When a button ( ) of each controlling device is pressed inwardly and then pushed forwardly, a driving plate ( ) of the controlling device drives the driving device to release the corresponding expansion body from the upper plate. When the buttons of the controlling devices are pressed inwardly and then pushed rearwardly, the driving plates drive the releasing devices to release the frame from the chassis.

Computer enclosure with operating device

A retaining device ( ) for mounting a switch ( ) to a computer enclosure ( ) includes a main wall ( ) and left and right side walls ( ) cooperatively defining a space therebetween for accommodating the switch therein. A pair of pins ( ) is stamped perpendicularly from the main wall. An extension tab ( ) extends from the left side wall and defines a through aperture ( ) therein. A bent tab ( ) extends from the right side wall. In assembly, the switch is received in the retaining device with the pins being received in through holes of the switch. The combined retaining device and switch is then attached to a panel ( ) of the enclosure ( ). The bent tab is engagingly received in a locking aperture of the panel. A screw ( ) is extended through the through aperture ( ) to engage with the panel in a screw aperture ( ) thereof.

Computer case

A button device includes a button ( ), a spring ( ) and a receiving portion ( ) formed in a bezel ( ). The button has a base ( ), a plurality of locking hooks ( ) and contacting blocks ( ) extending rearwardly from a periphery of a back of the base, and a contacting pole ( ) extending rearwardly from a middle of the back of the base. An annular guiding sleeve ( ) is formed on the back of the base, and the spring is placed over the guiding sleeve. A plurality of apertures ( ) is defined in a rearmost part of the receiving portion, for extension of the locking hooks. A plurality of holes ( ) is defined in the rearmost part of the receiving portion, for extension of the contacting blocks and contacting pole. An annular groove ( ) is defined in the rearmost part of the receiving portion, for accommodating the guiding sleeve.

A fixing apparatus ( ) for storage devices ( ) includes a drive bracket ( ) and a fixing plate ( ). The drive bracket includes a side panel ( ) defining grooves ( ) for slidingly receiving screws ( ) that are attached on opposite sides of the storage devices. The fixing plate is attached on the side panel, and includes locking elements ( ). Each locking element includes a spring portion ( ), a stop wall ( ), and a handle ( ). To insert a storage device, the screws are slid along opposite grooves. One screw outward presses a spring portion, and causes it to be elastically deformed. When that screw has slid beyond the spring portion, the spring portion elastically returns to its original position. The stop wall and the side panel sandwich that screw therebetween. Up to three storage devices are thus secured within the drive bracket.

Fixing apparatus for data storage devices

Computer enclosure

A fastening device for securing a data storage device ( ) with a screw ( ) secured thereon includes a locating plate ( ) and a bracket ( ). The bracket receives the data storage device therein, and the locating plate secures the data storage device to the bracket. The bracket includes first and second side panels ( ). The first side panel defines a slot ( ). The second side panel defines a groove ( ) for slidingly receiving the screw of the data storage device. The locating plate includes an engaging section ( ) and an elastic section ( ). The engaging section forms a latch ( ) stamped toward and received in the slot of the bracket, and engaged with the data storage device. The elastic section extends from the engaging section, and provides the locating plate with elastic deformation capability so that the latch can move in and out of the slot of the bracket.

Fastening device for a securing data storage device

A drive cage assembly of a computer enclosure for receiving a data storage device therein includes a cage, a securing plate and a coupling piece. The cage has a base wall, an upper wall horizontally extending from an upper edge of the base wall and a lower wall horizontally extending from a lower edge of the base wall. The cage defines a side opening. The base wall forms at least one pair of posts projecting from the inner side thereof for inserting into corresponding holes defined in the data storage device. The securing plate is attached to the side opening of the cage and also forms at least one pair of posts in its inner side for inserting into holes defined in the data storage device. The coupling piece couples the securing plate to the cage thereby securely mounting the data storage device to the cage.

Drive cage assembly

A shielding device ( ) is removably received in a drive bracket ( ) of a computer enclosure ( ). The shielding device includes a shell ( ) and a pair of rails ( ). The shell electrically contacts and covers a bay in a front panel ( ) of the computer enclosure thereby providing shielding from electromagnetic interference. The rails are removably attached to the shell to be received in the drive bracket for supporting the shell therein.
