Preferred forms of the present invention
Referring now to Fig. 1, the vertical chassis 20 of personal desktop computer has been described wherein.Computer cabinet 20 comprises central part 40, right plate 30 and left plate 32 (not shown).The major part of computer cabinet 20 is made up of the ecru japanning betal can that for most of personal desktop computer is standard.Central part 40 comprises a plastic portion 42, has covered the central part 40 of most cream-coloured colored paint cabinet 20.Plastic section 42 is used for decorating the cabinet 20 of personal computer by the colored plastic manufacturing.Plastic section generally is molded as solid color, for example purple.But a lot of users want green or redness, just have to remove the purple plastic section.For reaching this purpose, central part 40 comprises removable anter and top flat.This anter and top flat connect with hook, and this and the present invention have nothing to do.
According to the present invention, in order to cover remaining outside surface of personal computer, available a pair of plastic cover plate is connected on the metal side plate 30,32 of computer cabinet 20. Side plate 50,60 is preferably identical with central part 40 colors.
When factory delivers, will comprise four small rubber footing 52 on computer cabinet 20 each side plate 30,32.If the user selects to buy coloured upgrading accessory, for the personal style with oneself is complementary, the user may change the outward appearance of their PC.As mentioned previously, central part 40 can take off from side plate 50,60, and the desirable lower feet 52 of user is added to the plate 50,60 of new color on the already present side plate 30,32, and four footing 52 are connected on each side plate 30,32.Advantageously, use the specific purpose tool that do not need of the present invention.In implementation process, the user can directly and easily install.Also advantageously, the user can not need specific purpose tool to come the easily color and the outward appearance of transformation calculations machine enclosure, and does not have the risk of any breaking-up autochromatic plate.
The profile of several side plates need be by the structures shape of specific side plate 30,32.For example, in Fig. 2 A-2C and Fig. 3 A-3B, be positioned at its central lower except Fig. 2 A cover plate has a ventilating opening, described two cover plates are the same.Described in Fig. 2 A-2C, this side plate will be used for covering left side cover plate 32, and the cover plate among Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B will be used for covering right plate 30.Described in Fig. 2 A-2C and Fig. 3 A-3B, the periphery of cover plate is asymmetric with respect to horizontal center line, but is symmetrical with respect to vertical center line.The inside surface of cover plate 50,60 is preferably approaching consistent with the outside surface of side plate 30,32.Described in Fig. 2 A and Fig. 3 A, a smooth central part 62 is arranged.Four through holes 64 are positioned at the corner place of smooth central part 62.Described in Fig. 2 A, ventilating opening 66 is positioned at smooth central part 62.This ventilating opening 66 is consistent dimensionally with the formed ventilating opening of side plate 32 (not shown).For raising the efficiency, colored side plate all uses same side plate 60 about preferably allowing.This will reduce that the user is installed in left plate on the right plate and the possibility of stopping up the ventilating opening of side plate 30.Also will reduce the user is the number and the type of carrying out the required accessory of this upgrading.If the user buys a colored upgrading accessory, then this upgrading accessory comprise to each side not unique still be the side plate 60 of unanimity.All ventilating opening 66 will be arranged in all sides when autochromatic plate 60 is installed, be useful but even so also have only the left side ventilating opening.
Fig. 4 A-4D has described a kind of interchangeable form of side plate.In this form, 62 outward extending lateral bending pars convolutas are with respect to vertical and horizontal center line symmetry from the par, center.
Referring now to Fig. 5 A-5D, wherein described according to rubber footing 100 of the present invention.In Fig. 5 A, rubber footing 100 comprises a button portion 102 and is generically and collectively referred to as 104 retaining part.There are a rounded outer surface 106 and a flat inner surface 108 in button portion 102.Two shanks 110 extend downwards from surface 108, and each shank has inclined-plane 112, are convenient to through cover plate 50,60 and side plate 30,32 104 parts be inserted respectively.Insert when rubber footing 100 passes through above-mentioned plate, a pair of circular bead surface 114 is just fitted with the inside surface of side plate 30,32 respectively.In operation, shank 110 will be to intrinsic deflection, just when surface 112 when hole in hole 64 and the side plate cooperates, these two shanks are respect to one another.In case surface 112 breaks away from perforate 64, shoulder 114 will be fitted with the inside surface of side plate 30,32.Distance between the surface 108 and 114 then is enough to the reliable cover plate 50,60 that fixedly contacts respectively with side plate 30,32 that supports.
A those of ordinary skill of this area can find out easily, and the present invention has realized all purposes of proposing above.Finishing watching the above stated specification postscript, a those of ordinary skill of this area may to as extensively disclosed content of equal value of the present invention and other various aspects are carried out various changes and replacement here.Therefore, this means that the protection domain in this mandate is only limited by the definition that is included in appended claims book and its equivalent.
