Abstract
A locking member for use in an optical disk drive includes a rivet and a hollow element. The hole defined on the chassis of the optical disk drive is sized to receive the rivet, and the rivet extends through the hollow element. The rivet can be fixed on the chassis by riveting, and the locking member can absorb a large impact or shock. Alternatively, screw threads can be integrally formed on the hollow element and the rivet. The rivet can be threaded through and engage with the hollow element to absorb the impact or shock without breakage or failure of the locking member.
