Abstract

A data storage device mounting apparatus includes a base, a securing member, and a cover engaged with the base. The base includes a receiving portion and a recess, the recess defines a through hole. The securing member is secured to a first data storage device and includes a securing piece. The securing piece defines a stopping hole. The cover is configured to cover a second data storage device. A stopping portion located on the cover. The receiving portion is adaptor to receive the first data storage device, the securing piece is received in the recess, and the stopping portion extends through the through hole to engage in the stopping hole, for preventing the first data storage device from disengaging from the receiving portion.

Claims (27)

1. A data storage device mounting apparatus comprising:

a base comprising a receiving portion and a recess, a through hole defined in the recess;

a securing member secured to a first data storage device, the securing member comprising a securing piece, the securing piece defining a stopping hole;

a cover engaged with the base, the cover comprising a stopping portion located on the cover; and

wherein the receiving portion is configured to receive the first data storage device, the securing piece is received in the recess, and the stopping portion extends through the through hole to be engaged in the stopping hole so that the first data storage device is prevented from disengaging from the receiving portion.

2. The data storage device mounting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the receiving portion comprises a bottom panel and two positioning pieces are located on the bottom panel; the two positioning pieces are parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to the bottom panel.

3. The data storage device mounting apparatus of claim 2 , wherein three hooks are located on the bottom panel and the three hooks are arranged at three corners of a right triangle.

4. The data storage device mounting apparatus of claim 3 , wherein each of the three hooks comprises a limiting portion and a pressing portion perpendicularly extending from the limiting portion, and the pressing portion abuts the first data storage device so that the first data storage device is prevented from moving along a direction perpendicularly to the bottom panel.

5. The data storage device mounting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the securing member further comprises an installation piece; and the installation piece is secured to a sidewall of the first data storage device.

6. The data storage device mounting apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the securing piece comprises a connecting portion; and the connecting portion extends from a bottom edge of the installation piece.

7. The data storage device mounting apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the securing piece further comprises a sliding portion extending from a distal end of the connecting portion, and a plane containing the sliding portion is substantially perpendicular to the installation piece.

8. The data storage device mounting apparatus of claim 7 , wherein a cutout is defined in a sidewall of the sliding portion, a resilient portion is located on a sidewall of the recess of the base, the resilient portion is engaged in the cutout and is elastically deformable to disengage from the cutout.

9. The data storage device mounting apparatus of claim 8 , wherein a latch portion extends inward from the resilient portion; and the latch portion is engaged in the cutout.

10. The data storage device mounting apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the securing piece further comprises a guiding portion extending from a distal end of the sliding portion, and an obtuse angle is defined between the sliding portion and the guiding portion.

11. A data storage device mounting apparatus comprising:

a base comprising a receiving portion and a recess, a resilient portion located in a sidewall of the recess;

a securing member secured to a first data storage device, the securing member comprising a securing piece, the securing piece defining a cutout; and

wherein the receiving portion is configured to receive the first data storage device, the resilient portion is engaged in the cutout so that the first data storage device is prevented from moving away the receiving portion, and the resilient portion is elastically deformable to disengage from the cutout.

12. The data storage device mounting apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the receiving portion comprises a bottom panel and two securing pieces are located on the bottom panel; the two securing pieces are parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to the bottom panel.

13. The data storage device mounting apparatus of claim 12 , wherein three hooks are located on the bottom panel; and the three hooks are arranged at three corners of a right triangle.

14. The data storage device mounting apparatus of claim 13 , wherein each of the three hooks comprises a limiting portion and a pressing portion perpendicularly extending from the limiting portion, and the pressing portion abuts the first data storage device so that the first data storage device is prevented from moving along a first direction perpendicularly to the bottom panel.

15. The data storage device mounting apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the securing member further comprises an installation piece; and the installation piece is secured to a sidewall of the first data storage device.

16. The data storage device mounting apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the securing piece comprises a connecting portion and the connecting portion extends from a bottom edge of the installation piece.

17. The data storage device mounting apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the securing piece further comprises a sliding portion extending from a distal of the connecting portion, and a plane containing the sliding portion is substantially perpendicular to the installation piece.

18. The data storage device mounting apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the securing piece further comprises a guiding portion extending from a distal end of the sliding portion, and an obtuse angle is defined between the sliding portion and the guiding portion.

19. The data storage device mounting apparatus of claim 11 , wherein a latch portion extends inwards from the resilient portion; and the latch portion is engaged in the cutout.

20. The data storage device mounting apparatus of claim 11 further comprises a cover configured to cover a second data storage device, the cover comprising a stopping portion located on the cover, a through hole being defined in the recess of the base, the securing piece defining a stopping hole, wherein the cover is engaged with the base, and the stopping portion extends through the through hole to engage in the stopping hole.
