  • Patent number: 7365969
    Abstract: A computer case includes a chassis (10), a cover (80) with a tray (70) pivotally attached to the chassis, and a shaft (20). The chassis comprises a bottom panel (11) with a mounting board mounted thereto. A pair of mounting plates (33) is stamped from the mounting board to secure the shaft. A number of support plates (31) are stamped from the mounting board to support the shaft. A number of support plates (71) are stamped from the tray to be supported on the shaft. The shaft thus shares the burden of the tray when the tray is rotated.

  • Patent number: 7184261
    Abstract: A computer case includes a chassis (10), a cover (60) and a lock (80). The chassis comprises a bottom panel (12), two side panels (14) and a front panel (16), the bottom panel engaging two first support members (40) and a second support member (52) between the first ones. Each of the side panels defines a fixing slot (19). The cover defines two fixing apertures (63) in respective opposite sides. The lock comprises an operating member (90) getting through the front panel, and two locking bars (100). Each of the locking bars is supported between the first and the second support members. The locking bars are connected by a spring (110). In assembly, each of the apertures aligns with the fixing slot, and the pushing part pushes the locking bars successively getting through the aperture and slot, thereby mounting the cover to the chassis.

  • Patent number: 7050297
    Abstract: A carrier includes a drive bracket (30), a bezel (20), and a lever (10). The drive bracket includes a front plate (32) and a side plate (34). A first opening (322) and a second opening (342) are respectively defined in the front plate and the side plate. The bezel defines an aperture (24) corresponding to the first opening of the drive bracket. The lever includes a main body (16) and a handle (12). Two stop tabs (142) project from the handle. The main body has an end portion (162). When the drive bracket is slid into a rack (70), the stop tabs abut a front frame (76) of the rack thereby preventing the carrier from being over-inserted into the rack. Then when the handle is pressed, the end portion extends through the second opening of the drive bracket to engage with the rack thereby securing the carrier to the rack.

  • Patent number: 6920042
    Abstract: A computer enclosure includes a cage (30) and a peripheral device module (40). The cage includes a main body (32), and a bezel (31) mounted at a front portion of the main body. The bezel defines an opening (33). The main body includes a pair of lateral support plates (34). Each support plate defines fastening units therein. The peripheral device module includes a housing (41), and carriers (42) received in the housing. The housing includes protrusions (48) on each of opposite sides thereof, with each protrusion defining a locking hole (481) therein. The protrusions of each side of the housing correspond to through holes (341) and slots (342) of a selected fastening unit of a corresponding support plate of the cage. Fasteners are extendable through the selected fastening units to engage with the protrusions, thereby securing the peripheral device module to the cage.
