  • Patent number: 7445430
    Abstract: A fan cover assembly is proposed for installing one or more fans therein, including: a fan frame having a first blocking portion, a second blocking portion, and a third blocking portion, wherein the second blocking portion includes at least an upper blocking portion and at least a lower blocking portion, which are positioned in a stagger manner and having a containing space formed therebetween; and a cover body installed in the containing space, with edges thereof being formed with openings corresponding to the upper blocking portions. During assembly, the first blocking portion is opened to allow the cover body to pass through the upper blocking portions via the openings and stop at the lower blocking portions, the cover body is pushed to abut against the third blocking portion, and then the first blocking portion is closed to tightly join the cover body to the fan frame without using extra tools.

  • Patent number: 7161093
    Abstract: An aligning gear for an electronic device including a circuit board having at least a first fixing section and a housing having at least a second fixing section is disclosed. The aligning gear includes a first limiting member and a second limiting member, both of which are installed on the housing. The first limiting member limits the circuit board to move along a first direction only, while the second limiting member limits the circuit board to move along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, so as to make the first fixing section of the circuit board inosculate with the second fixing section of the housing along the first direction and the second direction respectively. Thereby, the circuit board is adjusted to a position where the circuit board is to be fixed to, so as to fix the circuit board on the housing and finish the subsequent fastening action.
