Abstract
A computer enclosure includes a hood ( ), a chassis ( ) with a frame ( ) mounted therein, and a fastener ( ) securing the hood on the chassis. The hood has aligned hooks ( ). The frame defines aligned first slits ( ). The fastener includes a sliding plate ( ) slidably attached on the frame, a pivot plate ( ) pivotably attached on the frame, a handle ( ) pivotably attached to the hood, and a spring ( ). The sliding plate defines aligned second slits ( ), and a transverse slot ( ) movably receiving a protrusion ( ) of the pivot plate therein. The hooks are extended through the first and second slits to snappingly engage with the sliding plate in the second slits. When the handle is pressed down, it rotates the pivot plate, and the protrusion of the pivot plate pushes the sliding plate to a position where the hood is easily removed.
