Optical disc drive enclosure

1. An optical disc drive enclosure for enclosing an optical disc drive, the optical disc drive enclosure comprising:

a cover comprising a top wall with at least one catch formed on a lower surface of the top wall and at least one blocking hem portion perpendicularly extending downward from a front edge of the top wall; and

a panel secured to a front of the cover, the panel comprising at least one fastener formed on a top part of the panel, the fastener defining a hole with a catch being latchingly engaged therein, the top part of the panel being supported by the at least one hem portion, thus direct impacts on the panel from internal components of the enclosure being blocked by the at least one blocking hem portion;

wherein the panel defines an opening therein, with a bottom edge of the at least one hem being substantially flush with a top extremity of the opening.

2. The optical disc drive enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein a pair of tabs extends from the front edge of the top wall and abuts against the panel.

3. The optical disc drive enclosure according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one catch is two catches, and each of the catches comprises a slanted portion slanted toward the panel.

4. The optical disc drive enclosure according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one blocking hem portion defines two cutouts spatially corresponding to the wedges.

5. The optical disc drive enclosure according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one blocking hem portion is three blocking hem portions, and the three blocking hem portions are interspaced from each other by the two cutouts.

6. The optical disc drive enclosure according to claim 5 , wherein a plurality of arms extends rearward from lateral sides and a bottom edge of the panel.

7. The optical disc drive enclosure according to claim 6 , wherein a catch is formed at a distal end of each arm, the catches being for engaging in corresponding holes defined in two side walls and a bottom wall of the cover.

8. The optical disc drive enclosure according to claim 7 , wherein a plurality of ribs is formed on each of the fastener and arms.

9. An optical disc drive comprising:

a cover for receiving a disc drive unit therein, the cover comprising:

a top wall comprising a blocking hem portion extending substantially perpendicularly downward from a front edge thereof and at least one cutout defined in the blocking hem portion, and at least one first latching portion correspondingly arranged adjacent the at least one cutout, wherein the first latching portion comprises a catch formed at a lower surface of the top wall;

two side walls extending from opposite sides of the top wall; and

a bottom wall attached to the side walls;

wherein the top wall, side walls, and bottom wall cooperatively form a front opening; and

a panel secured to the front opening of the cover, the panel comprising:

at least one second engaging portion arranged at a top of the panel, wherein the second engaging portion defines a hole therein, the catch of the first latching portion is securely engaged in the hole of the second engaging portion through the at least one cutout, and a slanted portion is formed at a distal end of the second engaging portion; and

an opening defined in the panel to expose internal components of the disc drive;

wherein a top extremity of the opening of the panel is substantially flush with a bottom of the blocking hem portion of the cover.

10. The optical disc drive according to claim 9 , wherein a pair of tabs extends from the top wall and abuts against the panel.

11. The optical disc drive according to claim 9 , wherein a plurality of arms extends from lateral sides and a bottom of the panel, the arms being adapted to fasten the panel to the side walls and the bottom wall of the cover.

12. An optical disc drive comprising:

means for performing functions of said optical disc drive;

a cover abutting against at least one side of said optical disc drive to shield said means of said optical disc drive from said at least one side thereof, said cover comprising at least two first extensions formed from an edge of said cover; and

a panel abutting against another side of said optical disc drive neighboring said edge of said cover to shield said means of said optical disc drive from said another side thereof, and capable of providing an access to said means of said optical disc drive, said panel comprising a second extension formed toward said edge of said cover and engagable therewith, said second extension of said panel, cooperating with said at least two first extensions of said cover and capable of blocking any access to clearance between said panel and said edge of said cover;

wherein said at least two first extensions said cover comprise a first blocking hem portion and a pair of second blocking hem portions extending from said edge of said cover along one direction, and a pair of tabs extending from said edge of said cover along another direction.

13. The optical disc drive according to claim 12 , wherein said second extension of said panel comprises a pair of fasteners extending toward said edge of said cover respectively to engage with a corresponding catch formed from said cover.
