Abstract

A mounting apparatus for a data storage device defining mounting holes in opposite first side and second side, the mounting apparatus includes a mounting plate, a first mounting member mounted to the mounting plate, a second mounting member mounted to the mounting plate, a pivoting member pivotably connected to a first side of the data storage device, and a locking member pivotably connected to the pivoting member. The first mounting member includes a supporting piece and two tips. The second mounting member includes a locking piece and a block formed at an end of the locking piece. The locking member includes a locking portion. The tips engage in the mounting holes of a second side of the data storage device. The pivoting member is rotated to be located between the second mounting member and the data storage device, and the locking member is rotated to engage under the block.

Claims (24)

1. A mounting apparatus for mounting a data storage device defining mounting holes in a first side and a second side opposite the first side, comprising:

a mounting plate;

a first mounting member mounted to the mounting plate and comprising a supporting piece perpendicularly mounted to the mounting plate and comprising a plurality of tips extending from the supporting piece;

a second mounting member mounted to the mounting plate and comprising a locking piece parallel and opposite to the supporting piece, the locking piece forming a block at an end thereof;

a pivoting member comprising a first end pivotably connected to the first side of the data storage device and a second end opposite to the first end; and

a locking member pivotably connected to the second end of the pivoting member and comprising a locking portion;

wherein the plurality of tips extending toward the locking piece, the data storage device is arranged between the supporting piece and the locking piece, the plurality of tips of the first mounting member engage in the mounting holes of the second side of the data storage device, the pivoting member is rotated to be located between the locking piece and the first side of the data storage device, and the locking member is rotated to allow the locking member to engage with the block of the second mounting member.

2. The mounting apparatus of claim 1 , further comparing a connecting member mounted to the first side of the data storage device, wherein the first end of the pivoting member is pivotably attached to the connecting member.

3. The mounting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the locking member comprises a pivoting piece pivotably connected to the second end of the pivoting member, an extending piece slantingly extending from the pivoting piece, and a locking piece extending down from a distal end of the extending piece.

4. The mounting apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the locking member further comprises an operating piece extending from an end of the pivoting piece.

5. The mounting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the locking piece defines a locking slot, a pole extends through the slot to pivotably engage the first end of the pivoting member.

6. An electronic device comprising:

a chassis comprising a mounting plate;

a data storage device comprising a first side and second side opposite to the first side,

a plurality of mounting holes defined the first side and the second side; and

a first mounting member mounted to the mounting plate and comprising a supporting piece perpendicular to the mounting plate and the supporting piece comprising a plurality of tips extending from the supporting piece;

a second mounting member mounted to the mounting plate and comprising a locking piece parallel and opposite to the supporting piece, a block formed at an end of the locking piece;

a pivoting member comprising a first end pivotably connected to the first side of the data storage device and a second end opposite to the first end; and

a locking member pivotably connected to the second end of the pivoting member and comprising a locking portion;

wherein the data storage device is arranged between the first and second mounting members, the tips of the first mounting member engage in the mounting holes of the second side of the data storage device, the pivoting member is rotated to be located between the second mounting member and the data storage device, and the locking member is rotated toward the locking piece, until the locking member engage with the block of the second mounting member.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , further comparing a connecting member mounted to the first side of the data storage device, wherein the first end of the pivoting member is pivotably attached to the connecting member.

8. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the locking member comprises a pivoting piece pivotably connected to the second end of the pivoting member, an extending piece slantingly extending from the pivoting piece, and a locking piece extending down from a distal end of the extending piece.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the locking member further comprises an operating piece extending from an end of the pivoting piece.

10. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the locking piece defines a locking slot, a pole extending through the slot to pivotably engage the first end of the pivoting member.
