The present invention relates to an improved case, which is small in volume, convenient in carrying, easy in assembling, simple in wiring, convenient for not plugging in from rear, and good in heat transmission.
Its peculiar structure includes a retractable handle formed on a groove atop a case, an ventilation opening formed on supporting frames, a circuit board secured without a bottom plate, sockets with an anti-dust cover formed in a front, and a front panel and a rear panel each secured by a locking plate to supporting frames.
To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
Referring to FIGS. 3˜4. The present invention is a mini case 1 comprising a front panel 12, a rear panel 13, supporting frames 136, a case 11, and a handle set 14.
Referring to
Referring to
Referring to
Referring to FIGS. 9˜13. The handle set 14 having a handle 142 and a fastener 141 formed in the groove 112 of the case 11. A sliding groove 1424 formed on an extension 1421 of the handle 142. A retractable handle mechanism is formed by
-
- a screw 3 penetrating a hole 1414 on the fastener 141 and the sliding groove 1424 to engage with a bolt 31 penetrating through a hole 1121 on the groove 112, thereby securing the handle 142 in place and also restraining a moving action of the handle 142 within the sliding groove 1424;
- a spring 143 with an end connecting to a locking device 1423 formed in a hole 1422 on each end of the handle 142 and with the other end connecting to a locking bar 1411 formed at each end of the fastener 141, thereby an extension or a retraction can be made when pulling up or releasing the handle 142.
The lid 15 is formed on the front panel 12 to protect the inner panel 133 from dusting, wherein a projection 154 is formed to facilitate the opening or closing movement of the lid 15. After opening the lid 15, inner sockets 1333 connecting to the circuit board 132 expose to outside and plugging can easily be made from the front panel 12.
It is of course to be understood that the embodiment described herein is merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
Claims
1. A mini case for computer comprising a front panel, a rear panel, support frames, a case, and a handle set, wherein,
- the case with a ventilation opening formed on a lateral thereof and with a groove formed on a top and a bottom thereof, wherein two screwed holes formed each end, each fastened a locking plate with screws;
- two supporting frames formed inside the case as a fixture for securing a circuit board, without a bottom plate; a fan formed right behind the ventilation opening to blow heat out of the circuit board; supporting frames, with guiding blocks formed thereof, can be guided through a space and fixed in the case;
- an inner panel, with inner sockets connecting to the circuit board, formed behind a front panel, thereby plugging can be made from the front; a rectangular opening formed on each end of the inner panel, wherein a convex and a groove formed, to be engaged with a hole and a projection on a lid, thereby the lid can move in and out the groove and rotate to open and close;
- a handle formed in the groove of the case; a sliding groove formed on an extension of the handle; a screw penetrating a fastener and the sliding groove to engage with a bolt penetrating the groove of the case, thereby securing the handle in place and restraining the handle moving within the sliding groove; a spring with an end connecting to an end of the handle and with the other end connecting to the fastener, thereby an extension or a retraction can be made when pulling or releasing of the handle.
