  • Patent number: 6721183
    Abstract: A computer enclosure includes a chassis (30), a hood (10) and a fastener (20) securing the hood to the chassis. The chassis includes a rear panel (33) forming an L-shaped tab thereon, and a pair of side panels each defining a plurality of splits (37). The hood includes a recessed portion (12) and a plurality of hooks (17) engaging with the splits. The fastener includes a handle (22) pivotably attached to the recessed portion, a latch (24) pivotably attached to the handle and engaging with the tab of the chassis, and a spring urging the latch to engage with the tab. When the handle is pivoted from a locked position to an unlocked position the latch is disengaged from the tab and is removed away from the rear panel to cause the handle to move the hood thereby releasing the hooks from the splits.
