Abstract
A panel mounting apparatus includes a chassis ( ) and a panel ( ). The chassis includes a front wall ( ) defining two symmetrical arcuate slots ( ). Two cutouts ( ) are defined in the front wall at ends of the slots respectively. Two through holes ( ) are defined in the front wall adjacent the slots respectively. The panel includes two posts ( ) and two pins ( ), respectively corresponding to the slots and the through holes of the front wall. Each post comprises a hook ( ) at an end thereof. The posts are extended through the cutouts. The panel is then rotated so that the posts slide along the slots. The pins snappingly engage in the through holes of the front wall, and the hooks of the posts engage with the front wall at ends of the slots. The panel is thereby securely mounted to the front wall of the chassis.
