Abstract
A computer enclosure ( ) includes a chassis ( ), a cover ( ), a turn support ( ) and a locking device ( ). The chassis defines a plurality of slots ( ) in a pair of opposite sills ( ) thereof. The cover has a plurality of catches ( ) for the engagement with the chassis at the slots. The turn support is attached to the chassis. The locking device includes a turn cap ( ), a cam ( ), a washer ( ), and a bolt ( ). The turn cap and cam are rotatably secured to the cover with the washer and the bolt. Rotation of the turn cap causes corresponding rotation of the cam. When rotated, the cam acts on flanges ( ) at an opening ( ) of the turn support. The locking device thereby drives the cover to move forward or rearward. The catches of the cover accordingly engage with or disengage from the chassis.
