  • Publication number: 20110116213
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fixing structure for electronic apparatuses and to an accommodating apparatus using the same. The electronic apparatus, such as a network apparatus, has fixing holes on both sides. Both ends of a fixing part have holes, respectively. Besides, one end of the fixing part has a slot. The fixing part is fixed on a support, such as the stands in a rack, or on a fixing surface, such as a wall, via the slot and the holes, and thus is positioned on the support or on the fixing surface. Hence, the electronic apparatus is fixed on the support or on the fixing surface. Accordingly, the dual-use fixing structure according to the present invention can fix the electronic apparatus on the support or on the fixing surface without the need of changing the fixing part, and hence reducing spatial limitations on installing electronic apparatuses. Additionally, the holes can be further used to reinforce fixing firmness when the electronic apparatus is hung through the slot of the fixing part.

  • Publication number: 20100219311
    Abstract: The invention is a chain locking mount for mounting the roller chain portion of a roller blind to a support surface such as a wall or window frame. The mount is configured to prevent the chain from being operated when the mount loosens from the support surface. The mount includes a housing with an aperture formed therein which is dimensioned to permit the roller chain to pass through the aperture. The mount further includes a lock member mounted adjacent the aperture, the lock member being movable between a locked position wherein the chain is prevented from moving through the aperture and an open position wherein the chain is free to move through the aperture. The mount is secured to the surface by a screw, the screw being coupled to the lock mechanism to retain the lock member in its open position when the screw is tightened to the surface. The lock member is biased towards its locked position so that the lock member moves towards its locked position when the screw is loosened from the surface.
