  • Patent number: 6917520
    Abstract: A fixing device (1) for securing a data storage apparatus (50) in a mounting bracket (40) includes a screw (10), a grounding plate (20), and a spring gasket (30). The screw includes a head (12), a connection portion (15), and an engaging portion (16). The spring gasket includes a cap (32) and a body (34). The grounding plate and the spring gasket surround the connection portion. The engaging portion is extended through one through hole (44) of a side panel (42) of the mounting bracket to engage with the data storage apparatus. The cap is sandwiched between the head and the mounting bracket, for absorbing shock. The body is received in the through hole and is compressed between the screw and the mounting bracket, for absorbing shock. Grounding fingers of the grounding plate resiliently abut against the side panel, for forming grounding paths.

  • Patent number: 6754071
    Abstract: A computer enclosure includes a cage (200) and a drive bracket (100) for pivotably attaching storage devices (300) to the cage. The cage includes a front panel (240), two side panels (260), and two supporting walls (280). Each supporting wall has a rim (281). A guideway (282) is defined in the supporting wall. A guiding entrance (284) defined in the rim separates the rim into front and rear parts. The front part includes a protrusion (288). The drive bracket includes spaces for accommodating the storage devices therein, and two side plates (140) each having a railway (142). Each railway defines a cutout (143). The railways are slidable along the guideways between a first position in which the protrusions are inserted into the cutouts and the storage devices are partly received in the cage and a second position in which the storage devices are fully received in the cage.
