Abstract

A support structure for assembling a data access structure of two size specifications of 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch includes a fixing seat and two supports. Two supports respectively have a first locking plate and a second locking plate, both of which are interconnected to each other with a common side, wherein the first locking plate is narrower than the second locking plate. The first locking plates may space a smaller room, when the second locking plates of two supports are arranged on the fixing seat. On the other hand, the second locking plates may space a larger room, when the first locking plates of two supports are arranged on the fixing plate. Thereby, a data access device with two size specifications of 3.5 inch and 2.5 inch may be assembled alternately.

Claims (22)

1. A support structure for assembling a data access device, comprising:

a fixing seat, on which a plurality of first locking holes and a plurality of second locking holes are arranged; and

two supports, which respectively have a first locking plate and a second locking plate, both of which are interconnected to each other with a common side, and a number of holes being further arranged respectively on the locking plates in corresponding to the locking holes;

wherein a width of the first locking plate of two supports is narrower than that of the second locking plate; the first locking plates of the two supports space a smaller room, when the holes of the second locking plates are locked to the second locking holes of the fixing seat by means of locking elements; the second locking plates of the two supports space a larger room, when the holes of the first locking plates are locked to the first locking holes of the fixing seat by means of locking elements; thereby, a data access device of two size specifications may be assembled alternately.

2. The support structure for assembling a data access device according to claim 1 , wherein the two supports are identical to each other.

3. The support structure for assembling a data access device according to claim 2 , wherein the two supports are respectively configured as an “L”-shaped plate body.

4. The support structure for assembling a data access device according to claim 2 , wherein the two supports are shown as a back-to-back arrangement.

5. The support structure for assembling a data access device according to claim 2 , wherein the two supports are shown as a face-to-face arrangement.

6. The support structure for assembling a data access device according to claim 1 , wherein the two supports are respectively configured as an “L”-shaped plate body.

7. The support structure for assembling a data access device according to claim 1 , wherein the two supports are shown as a back-to-back arrangement.

8. The support structure for assembling a data access device according to claim 1 , wherein the two supports are shown as a face-to-face arrangement.

9. A support structure for assembling a data access device of a hard disk of 2.5 inch or 3.5 inch, comprising:

a fixing seat; and

two supports, respectively arranged on the fixing seat and having a first locking plate and a second locking plate, both of which are interconnected by a common side, a width of the first locking plate being narrower than that of the second locking plate;

wherein a hard disk of 2.5 inch is arranged in a room spaced by the first locking plates of the two supports, when the second locking plates are arranged on the fixing plate; a hard disk of 3.5 inch is arranged in a room spaced by the second locking plates of the two supports, when the first locking plates are arranged on the fixing seat.

10. The support structure for assembling a data access device according to claim 9 , wherein the two supports are identical to each other.

11. The support structure for assembling a data access device according to claim 10 , wherein the two supports are respectively configured as an “L”-shaped plate body.

12. The support structure for assembling a data access device according to claim 10 , wherein the two supports are shown as a back-to-back arrangement.

13. The support structure for assembling a data access device according to claim 10 , wherein two supports are shown as a face-to-face arrangement.

14. The support structure for assembling a data access device according to claim 9 , wherein the two supports are respectively configured as an “L”-shaped plate body.

15. The support structure for assembling a data access device according to claim 9 , wherein the two supports are shown as a back-to-back arrangement.

16. The support structure for assembling a data access device according to claim 9 , wherein the two supports are shown as a face-to-face arrangement.
