  • Patent number: 7523529
    Abstract: The present invention proposes an engagement mechanism employed in a first assembly part and a cooperating second assembly part. The engagement mechanism comprises a pivot member assembled in the first assembly part; and an elastic member having a double-wedged surface at an endmost portion thereof which extends outwardly from the projecting portion of the first assembly part. The elastic member is employed to provide an elastic force of maintaining the projecting portion extending outwardly from the first assembly part to engage with the second assembly part. The present invention, via the design of the double-wedged surface of the projecting portion, facilitates easy engagement or disengagement of the engagement mechanism, and overcomes the problem of having to provide extra disengagement arrangement in the prior art.

  • Patent number: 7218513
    Abstract: A disc drive carrier unit installed on an installation surface of a computer casing is proposed. The installation surface has at least a first positioning piece and a first fixation piece, and both are perpendicular to each other. The disc drive carrier unit has a frame for encompassing and securing a disc drive, a second positioning piece for engaging with the first positioning piece, and at least a second fixation piece for correspondently securing to the first fixation piece. The second positioning piece of the disc drive carrier unit has an engaging function to replace the partial locking design of the conventional technology, for ease of assembly/disassembly and reduction of the assembly cost.

  • Publication number: 20060213032
    Abstract: A rotation limiting mechanism is proposed for connecting a base and a pedestal body of a display. The base includes at least one supporting portion. The rotation limiting mechanism includes a fixing member and at least one rotation adjusting member. The fixing member can be connected to the base. The rotation adjusting member includes a pedestal body connecting portion for being connected to the pedestal body, a rotating portion pivoted on the fixing member, and a limiting portion for correspondingly limiting an angle of forward or backward tilt of the supporting portion. By such arrangement, a simplified structure can be provided.
