The present invention proposes an engagement mechanism employed in a first assembly part and a cooperating second assembly part. The engagement mechanism comprises a pivot member assembled in the first assembly part; and an elastic member having a double-wedged surface at an endmost portion thereof which extends outwardly from the projecting portion of the first assembly part. The elastic member is employed to provide an elastic force of maintaining the projecting portion extending outwardly from the first assembly part to engage with the second assembly part. The present invention, via the design of the double-wedged surface of the projecting portion, facilitates easy engagement or disengagement of the engagement mechanism, and overcomes the problem of having to provide extra disengagement arrangement in the prior art.

Engagement mechanism

A disc drive carrier unit installed on an installation surface of a computer casing is proposed. The installation surface has at least a first positioning piece and a first fixation piece, and both are perpendicular to each other. The disc drive carrier unit has a frame for encompassing and securing a disc drive, a second positioning piece for engaging with the first positioning piece, and at least a second fixation piece for correspondently securing to the first fixation piece. The second positioning piece of the disc drive carrier unit has an engaging function to replace the partial locking design of the conventional technology, for ease of assembly/disassembly and reduction of the assembly cost.
