  • Patent number: 7085131
    Abstract: A fastening device for securing a data storage device (10) includes a bracket (20), a rail (30) and a fixing plate (40). The rail is mounted to a side of the data storage device, and includes a post (34) protruding from a side thereof. The bracket includes a first sidewall (23) defining a receiving groove (234) in an end thereof. The fixing plate includes a first member (42) attached to the first sidewall. The first member defines a locking hole (424) corresponding to the receiving groove of the first sidewall. The locking hole and the receiving groove partly overlap, a receiving hole is thereby defined. When the post of the rail is engaged with the receiving hole, the data storage device is assembled in the bracket; when the post of the rail is disengaged from the receiving hole, the data storage device is disassembled from the bracket.

  • Patent number: 7082036
    Abstract: A bezel mounting assembly includes a bezel (10), a front panel (30), and a latch (50). The bezel includes a pair of first catches (111) extending therefrom. The front panel includes a pair of first slots (35). The latch includes a pair of second slots (55) and a pair of tabs (551) extending from an edge of the second slots. A resilient member (70) attaches the latch to the front panel. When the bezel is attached to the front panel, the first catches are extended through the first and the second slots to engage with the second tabs. Simultaneity, the latch is moved with the catches abutting and applying a pushing force on the second tabs. The catches ride over and engage with the second tabs. Thus the bezel is secured to the front panel.

  • Publication number: 20050231923
    Abstract: An ejection assembly as shown is used for rapidly ejecting a motherboard (10) from a server chassis (20). The ejection assembly includes a tray (30) for supporting the motherboard, and an ejector (40). A connector (22) is disposed in the chassis. The ejector is pivotally mounted to the tray, and includes an ejecting portion (48) to abut against a front edge of a bottom plate (24) of the chassis when the motherboard is electronically connected to the connector of the chassis. The ejector is pivoted outwardly so that the ejecting portion presses the front edge of the bottom plate to draw the tray outwardly, the motherboard is thereby horizontally and rapidly ejected from the connector of the chassis.
