Abstract: A caster for being mounted to a bottom of a device includes a support, a connecting member, and a wheel mounted to the connecting member. The support defines a receiving space. The connecting member is threadedly connected to the support, and comprises a bracket accommodated in the receiving space. The wheel is rotatably mounted to the bracket. The support and the connecting member are operable to rotate relative to each other, with the wheel moving to expose out of or retract inside the receiving space.

Abstract: A mounting apparatus for attaching a data storage device to a chassis includes a latching member, first and second elastic members and a button. The latching member defines a through hole therein and forms a latching pin at a first end thereof. The button includes an abutting portion and a pressing portion extending up from the abutting portion. When the mounting apparatus is mounted to the chassis, the button is placed on a bottom side of the latching member, the latching member is movably mounted to the chassis, the first elastic member is compressed between the second end of the latching member and a baffle formed on the chassis, the second elastic member is compressed between the button and the chassis, the pressing portion of the button extends through the through hole and extending out of a top surface of the latching member.

Abstract: A mounting mechanism for attaching a data storage device to a chassis includes a housing, first and second driving members, a latching member, first, second, and third elastic members. The housing defines first, second and third sliding paths therein. The first and third sliding paths extend along a first direction of the housing for receiving the first driving member and the latching member. The second sliding path extends along a second direction of the housing substantially perpendicular to the first direction for receiving the second driving member. The first driving member forms an inclined guiding surface at an end thereof outside the housing. When the guiding surface is pressed down, the driving member moves inward, driving the second driving to move and disengage from the latching member, and the latching member moves along the first direction by an elastic force of the third elastic member.

Abstract: A fixing apparatus includes a frame having two opposite fixing walls to fix a first storage device. The fixing apparatus further includes a supporting arm pivotally connected to the frame. The supporting arm includes a fixing plate rotatable between a first position where a second storage device is capable of being sandwiched between the fixing plate and the second fixing wall of the frame, and a second position where the first storage device is capable of being sandwiched between the fixing walls of the frame.

Abstract: A mounting apparatus for a data storage device that includes a tab includes a bracket, a locking member, and an operating assembly. The bracket includes a bezel defining an opening and a first cutout corresponding to the tab. The locking member, movable on the bezel, defines a second cutout corresponding to the first cutout. The operating assembly is assembled in the bezel and slides the locking member on the bezel to align or misalign the second cutout with the first cutout.

Abstract: A fixing apparatus for fixing a data storage device with a plurality of mounting holes defined in sidewalls thereof includes a first bracket, a second bracket, and a latch member. The first bracket includes a side sheet and a base sheet perpendicularly connected thereto. The second bracket includes a side sheet, and a base sheet perpendicularly connected thereto. The base sheet of the second bracket is pivotally attached to the base sheet of the first bracket. The latch member is slidably attached to the base sheet of the first bracket and engages with the base sheet of the second bracket. A plurality of fixing pins extends from the side sheets of the first bracket and the second bracket, corresponding to the mounting holes of the data storage device.

Abstract: A fastener assembly includes a drive shaft, a threaded shaft, and a joint portion. The drive shaft is used for being operated to rotate around an axis thereof. The threaded shaft has a thread thereon, and is used for being screwed into an object. The joint portion is used for connecting the drive shaft with the threaded shaft. The joint portion is able to transfer the rotation of the drive shaft to the threaded shaft, and allow the rotations of the drive shaft and the threaded shaft about different axes.
