ROTATABLE DEVICE FOR HARD DISK DRIVE
The present invention includes a rotatable device, which is installed underneath a floppy disc rack unit and a hard drive rack unit. The hard drive rack unit is capable of turning by 90 degrees by lifting a handle block of the rotatable device, thus enabling easy installation or replacement of the hard drive rack in a computer casing.
(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a rotatable to device for easy installation and replacement of a hard drive rack unit, more particularly to a rotatable device which is mounted inside a computer casing, installed underneath a floppy disc rack unit and on top of the hard drive rack unit.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
The conventional rack unit for containing hard drive rack unit is made mostly a fixed and non-turnable or movable structure. When installing a hard drive rack unit, the rack unit has to be fixed to an inner side of a computer casing. The space inside of the computer casing is very much limited since there are different devices or equipment being installed, which is used to the view for assemblyman, thus making the installation work more complicated and toilsome.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe primaryine object of the present invention is to provide a rotable device inside a computer casing, which is installed underneath a floppy disc unit and on top of hard drive rack unit. The rotatable device is caapable of truning the hard drive rack unit by 90 degrees and detatchable from the other unity being installed inside a computer casing, thus making the installing or replacing of a hard drive rack unit simple and easy.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Referring to
A rotatable member 40 is disposed between the floppy disc rack unit 20 and the hard drive rack unit 30. With this rotatable device 40 installed, the hard drive rack 30 can be rotated by 90 degrees, thereby facilitating easy installation of the hard disk drive. Referring to
