  • Publication number: 20070049074
    Abstract: An elastic earthing plate for a server case is provided. The elastic earthing plate comprises two buckling portions formed on two sides thereof for respectively buckling to corresponding sidewalls of tracks for positioning. Each buckling portion comprises an extended arm at a distal end thereof for clamping a base plate to avoid displacement or shock occurring during the sliding of the base plate in the track, and thereby secure the base plate in the case. Thus, it is not only possible to form a reliable earthing loop between the base plate and the arm but also to position the base plate between the two arms of the elastic earthing plate to substantially ensure the earthing effect. The assembly and disassembly of the elastic earthing plate may also be easily implemented.
