A roller input device includes a base, a roller, a magnetic assembly, and a magnetic-conductive element. The roller is rotatably disposed on the base and includes a main body and magnetic protrusions arranged around a peripheral portion of the main body. The magnetic assembly is disposed on one side of the base and includes an electromagnet and a permanent magnet. The electromagnet includes a coil. The magnetic-conductive element is disposed on the base and between the roller and the magnetic assembly, and a side surface of the magnetic-conductive element facing the roller has a convex portion. When the electromagnet is in a first mode, the coil conducts a forward current, so that the magnetic-conductive element is magnetized to have a magnetic property. When the electromagnet is in a second mode, the coil conducts a reverse current, so that the magnetic-conductive element does not have the magnetic property.

Roller input device

A mouse includes a base and a mouse body. The base has a receiving groove. The mouse body includes a housing. The mouse body is detachably received in the receiving groove, the housing leans against the receiving groove, and the mouse body has a first operation mode and a second operation mode. Under the first operation mode, the mouse body is received in the base with a first orientation, and under the second operation mode, the mouse body is received in the base with a second orientation.

A roller input device includes a casing and a roller. A roller seat and an encoder are disposed in the casing. The roller is pivotally disposed on the roller seat. The body of the roller includes a shaft portion, a first side, and a second side. The first side and the second side are at opposite sides of the body. The first shaft and the second shaft of the roller are connected to the shaft portion and respectively extend from the first side and the second side. An end portion of the first shaft and an end portion of the second shaft away from the shaft portion respectively have a first connection portion and a second connection portion. A structural strength of the first connection portion is greater than a structural strength of the second connection portion, and the first connection portion is connected to the encoder.

An input device includes a housing, a wheel, a mode switch, a carrier, and an abutting assembly. The wheel is rotatably disposed on the housing and capable of rotating relative to the housing based on an axis. The wheel has a first gear structure and a second gear structure. The mode switch is disposed on the housing. The carrier is movably disposed on the housing and engaged with the mode switch. The abutting assembly is disposed on the carrier. While moving to a first position relative to the housing, the carrier switches the mode switch to a first mode and makes the abutting assembly contact the first gear structure. While moving to a second position relative to the housing, the carrier switches the mode switch to a second mode and makes the abutting assembly contact the second gear structure.

Input device

A fan module includes a fan with an electrical connector, and a positioning member. The connector comprises an end portion and a head portion. The positioning member, mounted to the fan, comprises a first body and a second body located on the first body. The first body is mounted to a first side of the fan, and the second body is mounted to a second side of the fan, that is substantially perpendicular to the first side. The second body defines a mounting hole, a latching portion is located in the mounting hole, and a maintaining portion is also located on the first body of the positioning member. The head portion is inserted through the mounting hole, and the latching portion engages the head portion in the mounting hole. The end portion is located between the maintaining portion and the second body.

An air conducting device is used for removing heat from at least one component by directing airflow flowing along a first direction. The first direction is parallel to the at least one component. The air conducting device includes an airduct receiving the at least one component therein, and an air guiding member. The air guiding member is attached to an inner side of the airduct. The air guiding member includes a plurality of resilient legs. The legs extend diagonally relative to the first direction in a first state. The legs are able to accommodate the at least one component in a second state. Each leg in the first state is able to serve as a barrier to the airflow.

Air conducting device

A mounting apparatus is configured for securing an expansion card with a support portion, and includes a chassis with a plate, and a securing member pivotably secured on the plate. The plate defines an opening for the support portion of the expansion card inserting therethrough. A positioning portion is formed on the plate to locate the support portion of the expansion card. The positioning portion defines a locking hole therein. The securing member includes a bent portion and a locking portion to sandwich the support portion of the expansion card and the positioning portion of the plate therebetween. A locking block protrudes from the locking portion to engage in the locking hole of the positioning portion. The locking portion is resiliently deformable to disengage the locking block from the locking hole of the positioning portion.

Mounting apparatus for expansion card

A mounting apparatus comprises two drive brackets () for receiving disk drives, a back panel (), and a securing member (). The back panel has a securing opening () defined therein. The securing member is pivotably mounted between the two brackets for rotating to engage with the securing opening of the back panel to secure the back panel on the drive brackets during the process that the back panel is mounted to the drive brackets.

Mounting apparatus for back panel

A computer enclosure includes a bottom plate (), a rear plate (), and a mounting plate (). The rear plate is perpendicular to the bottom plate for securing an expansion card () thereon. The mounting plate is perpendicularly secured on the bottom plate for securing a riser card () thereon, and perpendicular to the rear plate. A receiving structure () is defined in the mounting plate for a socket () formed on the riser card inserting therethrough to electronically receive a part of the expansion card.

Computer enclosure for securing riser card

A retaining device for PCI card includes a chassis, a clipping plate configured for retaining a PCI card, and a latch member. The chassis has a rear wall. A mounting bracket secured on the rear wall. A blocking wall perpendicularly extends from the rear wall. The mounting bracket includes a sidewall opposite to the blocking wall. The clipping plate includes a first end engaged with the chassis and a second end abutting on the sidewall of the mounting bracket. The latch member is tightly sandwiched between the blocking wall of the chassis and the sidewall of the mounting bracket. The latch member depresses the second end of the clipping plate thereby forcing the second end of the clipping plate to abut against the sidewall of the mounting bracket.
