Abstract

A securing apparatus for use with a fastening member includes a bracket and a locking member. The locking member is rotatably disposed on the bracket. The locking member includes a clamping portion and a handle, the clamping portion is used to cooperate with the locking member. By operating the handle, the locking member is rotated, so that the clamping portion is engaged with the locking member and the clamping portion is disengaged from the locking member.

Claims (21)

a bracket; and

a locking member rotatably disposing on the bracket; wherein the locking member comprises a clamping portion and a handle, a clamping hole of the clamping portion receives and engages the fastening member to enter into a fastened state; the locking member comprises a positioning member and a positioning portion, the positioning portion defines a positioning hole, the positioning hole is formed with a second hole wall, and a tongue piece is formed on the second hole wall, and the positioning member is formed at an end of the tongue piece; and the bracket defines a first positioning groove and a second positioning groove, the position member is received in the first positioning groove and the second positioning groove when in the fastened and an unfastened state respectively.

2. The securing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises a first resisting portion and a second resisting portion, and the first resisting portion and the second resisting portion are configured to limit a rotation range and a rotation angle of the locking member.

3. The securing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping portion is configured to cooperate with the fastening member, and the clamping portion is fastened to or separated from the fastening member by rotating the locking member.

4. The securing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises a lock mark and an unlock mark; wherein when the locking member is rotated from the lock mark towards the unlock mark, the locking member is in an unlocked state.

5. The securing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein when the locking member is rotated from the unlock mark towards the lock mark, the fastener is in a lock state.

6. The securing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the locking member comprises a connecting member, the connecting member rotatably disposes the locking member on the bracket, and provides a rotation axis for the locking member to rotate relative to the bracket.

7. The securing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the bracket defines a first mounting hole, the locking member further defines a second mounting hole, the connecting member extends through the second mounting hole and the first mounting hole, and the locking member is rotatably disposed on the bracket.

8. The securing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the connecting member is a step screw.

9. An electronic device comprising:

a first casing comprising a fastening member; and

a second casing comprising a securing apparatus; wherein the electric device is lockable by fastening the fastening member to the securing apparatus;

wherein the securing apparatus comprises a bracket and a locking member, the locking member is rotatably disposed on the bracket; and wherein the locking member comprises a clamping portion and a handle, a clamping hole of the clamping portion receives and engages the fastening member to enter into a fastened state; the locking member comprises a positioning member and a positioning portion, the positioning portion defines a positioning hole, the positioning hole is formed with a second hole wall, and a tongue piece is formed on the second hole wall, and the positioning member is formed at an end of the tongue piece; and the bracket defines a first positioning groove and a second positioning groove, the position member is received in the first positioning groove and the second positioning groove when in the fastened and an unfastened state respectively.

10. The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein the further comprises a first resisting portion and a second resisting portion, and the first resisting portion and the second resisting portion are configured to limit a rotation range and a rotation angle of the locking member.

11. The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein the clamping portion is configured to cooperate with the fastening member, and the clamping portion is fastened to or separated from the fastening member by rotating the locking member.

12. The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein the bracket comprises a lock mark and an unlock mark; wherein when the locking member is rotated from the lock mark towards the unlock mark, the locking member is in an unlocked state.

13. The electronic device according to claim 12 , wherein when the locking member is rotated from the unlock mark towards the lock mark, the fastener is in a lock state.

14. The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein the locking member comprises a connecting member, the connecting member rotatably disposes the locking member on the bracket, and provides a rotation axis for the locking member to rotate relative to the bracket.
