Abstract

A mounting device for securing a cable assembly includes a chassis and a mounting member. The chassis includes a sidewall, and a limiting portion and a positioning portion extending from the sidewall. The mounting member is removably mounted to the chassis and includes a mounting piece and a latching portion. The positioning portion defines a positioning hole. The mounting piece clasps the limiting portion. The latching portion is received in the positioning hole and engaged with the positioning portion. A receiving space is defined between the mounting member and the sidewall for securing the cable assembly therein.

Claims (26)

1. A mounting device for securing a cable assembly comprising:

a chassis comprising a sidewall, and a limiting portion and a positioning portion extending from the sidewall; and

a mounting member removably mounted to the chassis and comprising a mounting piece and a latching portion;

wherein the positioning portion defines a positioning hole; the mounting piece clasps the limiting portion; the latching portion is received in the positioning hole and engaged with the positioning portion to secure the cable assembly between the mounting member and the sidewall; and a receiving space is defined between the mounting member and the sidewall for securing the cable assembly therein.

2. The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the latching portion comprises two elastically deformable hooks and two blocks extending from the two elastically deformable hooks; the positioning portion comprises two first positioning pieces and a second positioning piece connected to the two first positioning pieces; the two first positioning pieces extend from the sidewall; the two elastically deformable hooks are received in the positioning hole; and the two blocks are engaged with the two first positioning pieces.

3. The mounting device of claim 2 , wherein the second positioning piece is substantially parallel to the sidewall; and the positioning hole is defined cooperatively by the sidewall, the two first positioning pieces, and the second positioning piece.

4. The mounting device of claim 2 , wherein an acute angle is defined between the two elastically deformable hooks; and an opening is defined between the two elastically deformable hooks, and the opening increases the elasticity of the two elastically deformable hooks.

5. The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the sidewall defines a cutout, the limiting portion extends from two opposite edges of the cutout, and the mounting piece is received in the cutout.

6. The mounting device of claim 5 , wherein the mounting piece is coplanar with the sidewall and covers the cutout.

7. The mounting device of claim 5 , wherein the limiting portion comprises two first limiting pieces and a second limiting piece connected to the two first limiting pieces; the two first limiting pieces extend from the two opposite edges of the cutout; and the mounting piece clasps the second limiting piece.

8. The mounting device of claim 7 , wherein the second limiting piece is substantially parallel to the sidewall.

9. The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the mounting member further comprises a mounting plate, a first flange, and a second flange; the first flange and the second flange extend substantially perpendicularly from two opposite edges of the mounting plate; and the mounting plate is adapted to engage the cable assembly between the mounting plate and the sidewall.

10. The mounting device of claim 9 , wherein the mounting piece extends from the first flange and is substantially parallel to the mounting plate; and the latching portion extends from the second flange.

11. A mounting device for securing a cable assembly comprising:

a chassis defining a cutout and comprising a sidewall, and a limiting portion and a positioning portion extending from the sidewall; and

a mounting member removably mounted to the chassis and comprising a mounting piece and a latching portion;

wherein the positioning portion defines a positioning hole; the limiting portion extends from two opposite edges of the cutout; the mounting piece is received in the cutout and clasps the limiting portion; the latching portion is received in the positioning hole and engaged with the positioning portion; and a receiving space is defined between the mounting member and the sidewall for securing the cable assembly therein.

12. The mounting device of claim 11 , wherein the latching portion comprises two elastically deformable hooks and two blocks extending from the two elastically deformable hooks; the positioning portion comprises two first positioning pieces and a second positioning piece connected to the two first positioning pieces; the two first positioning pieces extend from the sidewall; the two elastically deformable hooks are received in the positioning hole; and the two blocks are engaged with the two first positioning piece.

13. The mounting device of claim 12 , wherein the second positioning piece is substantially parallel to the sidewall; and the positioning hole is defined cooperatively by the sidewall, the two first positioning pieces, and the second positioning piece.

14. The mounting device of claim 12 , wherein an acute angle is defined between the two elastically deformable hooks.

15. The mounting device of claim 12 , wherein an opening is defined between the two elastically deformable hooks, and the opening increases the elasticity of the two elastically deformable hooks.

16. The mounting device of claim 11 , wherein the mounting piece is substantially coplanar with the sidewall and covers the cutout.

17. The mounting device of claim 11 , wherein the limiting portion comprises two first limiting pieces and a second limiting piece connected to the two first limiting pieces; the two first limiting pieces extend from the two opposite edges of the cutout; and the mounting piece clasps the second limiting piece.

18. The mounting device of claim 17 , wherein the second limiting piece is substantially parallel to the sidewall.

19. The mounting device of claim 11 , wherein the mounting member further comprises a mounting plate, a first flange, and a second flange; the first flange and the second flange extend substantially perpendicularly from two opposite edges of the mounting plate; and the mounting plate is adapted to engage the cable assembly between the mounting plate and the sidewall.

20. The mounting device of claim 19 , wherein the mounting piece extends from the first flange and is substantially parallel to the mounting plate; and the latching portion extends from the second flange.
