A computer enclosure ( ) includes a front panel ( ) and a pivotable bracket ( ). The front panel defines an opening ( ) for providing access to the bracket, and a pair of screw holes ( ) on opposite sides of the opening respectively. A pair of first ears ( ) extends from the front panel at each side of the opening. The bracket includes a front wall ( ) and a pair of side walls ( ) perpendicular to the front wall. A pair of second ears ( ) extends from the side walls and pivotally attached to the first ears of the front panel. A pair of locating tabs ( ) extends from the front wall and each tab defines a through hole ( ) therein, corresponding to and engaging at the screw holes of the front panel by bolts. The bracket is thereby secured to the front panel.

Computer enclosure having pivotable bracket

An enclosure includes a front panel ( ), a pivotable bezel ( ) and a pair of female hinges ( ). A pair of male hinges ( ) extends from one side of an inner surface of the bezel. Each male hinge includes a flange ( ) and a pivot column ( ). Each female hinge includes a rear wall ( ) attachable to the front panel, and an engaging portion ( ) extending perpendicularly from the rear wall. The engaging portion defines a groove ( ), and a notch ( ) spaced from the groove. The groove receives the flange of the corresponding male hinge. A recess ( ) is defined at the notch, for rotatably receiving the pivot column of the corresponding male hinge. The bezel further forms a catch ( ), for engaging with a slot ( ) of the front panel. The bezel is thereby easily and securely attached to the front panel.

Enclosure having pivotable bezel

A holder ( ) in accordance with the present invention includes a base ( ) for supporting a fan ( ) thereon, a pair of first shields ( ) extending vertically upwardly from the base, and a second shield ( ) extending vertically upwardly from the base opposite the first shields. The base forms a flange ( ) and a resilient tab ( ) at respective opposite sides thereof, for abutting opposite side walls ( ) of the fan. Each first and second shield forms a sill ( ), for abutting a top surface of the fan. The fan is thereby easily and firmly secured to the holder, the holder being securely attached to a computer enclosure.
