Mounting assembly for cover of computer enclosure
A mounting assembly for a cover of a computer enclosure includes a chassis ( 40 ) having a side panel, at least one locking member ( 20 ) securely attached to the chassis ( 40 ), a cover ( 10 ) adapted to be slidably mounted to the chassis ( 40 ) and at least one jacking member ( 30 ) movably mounted to the chassis ( 40 ). A projecting tab ( 122 ) extends from a side panel ( 12 ) of the cover ( 10 ) and a stopping tab ( 123 ) extends from an inner side of the side panel ( 12 ) thereof. The jacking member ( 30 ) has a jacking portion ( 32 ) and a pressed portion ( 34 ). The jacking portion ( 32 ) is inserted between the locking member ( 20 ) and the side panel ( 41 ) of the chassis ( 40 ) for keeping the locking member ( 20 ) disengaging from the stopping tab ( 123 ). The pressed portion ( 34 ) is pressed by the projecting tab ( 122 ) for retracting the jacking portion ( 32 ).
1. A computer enclosure comprising:
a chassis having a side panel, at least one locking member being attached thereto;
a cover adapted to be slidably mounted to the chassis, the cover having a projecting tab and a stopping tab, wherein the stopping tab directly engages with the locking member for securing the cover on the chassis; and
at least one jacking member movably mounted to the chassis, comprising a pressed portion and a jacking portion inserted between the locking member and the side panel of the chassis for keeping the locking member disengaging from the stopping tab, the pressed portion being pushed by the projecting tab for retracting the jacking portion.
2. The computer enclosure as recited in claim 1 , wherein a pressing tab is attached on the cover for pushing the locking member, and the pressing tab is accessible outside.
3. The computer enclosure as recited in claim 2 , wherein the locking member further comprises a columniform protrusion corresponding to the pressing tab.
4. The computer enclosure as recited in claim 1 , wherein a lower edge of the locking member is bent horizontally to form a flange for abutting on the jacking member.
5. The computer enclosure as recited in claim 1 , wherein the locking member has a resilient first resisting portion extending slantways for engaging with the stopping tab.
6. The computer enclosure as recited in claim 5 , wherein the locking member is attached inside the chassis and a first opening is defined in the chassis for the first resisting portion extending outwardly therethough.
7. The computer enclosure as recited in claim 1 , wherein the jacking member forms an elastic portion at a bottom thereof.
8. The computer enclosure as recited in claim 1 , wherein a second opening is defined in the chassis for the pressed portion of the jacking member accessible to the projecting tab.
9. The computer enclosure as recited in claim 1 , wherein the pressed portion of the jacking member is a generally U-shaped block with two guiding surfaces and a top surface.
10. A computer enclosure comprising:
a chassis comprising a side panel thereof, at least one locking member attached thereto;
a cover adapted to be slidably mounted to the chassis, comprising a stopping tab engaging with the locking member for securing the cover on the chassis, wherein the locking member has a resilient first resisting portion extending slantways for engaging with the stopping tab; and
a jacking member for disengaging the locking member from the stopping tab when situated between the locking member and the side panel of the chassis, and means for driving the jacking member to move.
11. The computer enclosure as recited in claim 10 , wherein a pressing tab is attached on the cover for pushing the locking member, and the pressing tab is accessible outside.
12. The computer enclosure as recited in claim 11 , wherein the locking member further comprises a columniform protrusion corresponding to the pressing tab.
13. The computer enclosure as recited in claim 10 , wherein a lower edge of the locking member is bent horizontally to form a flange for abutting on the jacking member.
14. The computer enclosure as recited in claim 13 , wherein the jacking member forms a jacking portion at a top end thereof for jacking the flange.
15. The computer enclosure as recited in the claim 10 , wherein the locking member is attached inside the chassis and a first opening is defined in the chassis for the first resisting portion extending outwardly therethough.
16. The computer enclosure as recited in the claim 10 , wherein a second opening is defined in the chassis for a pressed portion of the jacking member accessible to a projecting tab extending from the cover.
17. The computer enclosure as recited in the claim 16 , wherein the pressed portion of the jacking member is a generally U-shaped block with two guiding surfaces and a top surface.
18. An enclosure of an electronic device, comprising:
a chassis partially enclosing said electronic device, and having a locking member movably attachable thereto along a first direction;
a cover cooperatively enclosing said electronic device with said chassis, and movable relative to said chassis along a second direction perpendicular to said first direction between a first position thereof to be retainable to said chassis and a second position thereof to be freely removable away from said chassis, said locking member of said chassis capable of retaining said cover in said first position thereof by interferingly moving toward said cover along said first direction; and
a jacking member disposed next to said locking member in said chassis and resiliently movable along a third direction parallel to said second direction to control movement of said locking member along said first direction.
19. The enclosure as recited in the claim 18 , wherein said locking member comprises a resilient resisting portion extending slantways for engaging with a stopping tab of said cover.
20. The enclosure as recited in the claim 19 , wherein said locking member is attached inside said chassis and an opening is defined in said chassis for said resisting portion extending outwardly therethough.
