Abstract

A computer casing baffle plate device is composed of a computer casing which contains a left and right side walls provided with protruded members, shaft holes, and screw holes, with transversal concave parts formed below front ends of upper surfaces. A baffle plate whose bottom is provided with shaft holes and whose upper plate surface is provided with spring leaves having protruded slopes and protruded plates which are extended outward. A shaft is flexibly connected to the shaft holes on the casing and the shaft holes on the baffle plate. Spring leaves are deformed and pressed against the transversal concave parts, so as to vertically fix the baffle plate inside the casing. The baffle plate can be rotated by an angle inside the casing by a simple disassembling, thereby facilitating an assembling and disassembling of other components inside the casing.

Claims (3)

1. A computer casing baffle plate device comprising a computer casing which includes two side walls at a left and a right opposite ends, wherein the two side walls are provided with protruded members, shaft holes are located below the left and right walls, screw holes are located at side ends of upper surfaces, which are in a transversal direction, of the left and right walls, with small through holes located in front of the screw holes, and transversal concave parts formed below front ends of the upper surfaces; shaft holes being located below left and right wall edges of a baffle plate, with spring leaves having protruded slopes and protruded plates extended outward in a transversal direction being fixed on two sides of upper plate surface of the baffle plate; the protruded plates being provided with screw holes; a shaft being flexibly connected to the shaft holes on the casing and the shaft holes on the baffle plate; bolts being screwed into the screw holes on the transversal upper surfaces and screw holes of the protruded plates; spring leaves being compressed, deformed, and against walls of the transversal parts, so thereby vertically fixing the baffle plate inside the casing.

2. The computer casing baffle plate device according to claim 1 , wherein clipping pieces having elasticity which are protruded on the left and right side walls in front of the protruded members, thereby forming latch slots in interior sides of the clipping pieces, and long holes are located at intersections of the left and right wall edges of the baffle plate, such that the clipping pieces can be latched into the long holes.

3. The computer casing baffle plate device according to claim 1 , wherein the baffle plate can be pivoted against the shaft, and be pressed against the protruded members, such that the baffle plate can be positioned and slanted in a pre-determined angle.
