Abstract
The present invention provides a device for fixing an extension card to a computer case. The device replaces the conventional screw-fastening manner, and is especially suitable for fixing the extension card located in a limited space where screw fastening is not available. The device includes a fixing element having one end pivotally mounted on the computer case and the other end formed with a resilient plate for fixing the extension card. A pressing portion and a latch are formed on the fixing element so as to latch the fixing element when the fixing element is being rotated to a fastening position. When the extension card is to be removed, the user can depress the pressing portion to move the latch away from the computer case, then rotate the fixing element to a release position.
