DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic device fixing method, and more particularly to an electronic device fixing method using a holding plate on a leaf spring.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in an electronic device having a storage section and a storage section, when the storage section is fixed to the storage section, the storage section is inserted into the storage section via a guide rail and then screwed. In this case, a method has been adopted in which the storage section is inserted into the storage section via a guide rail and fixed by a leaf spring.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the former screw fixing method, in which a holding flange 8a of a guide rail 8 of a stored portion 10 is provided.
Is inserted along the guide 9a of the storage unit 9 until it stops with a stopper (not shown), and is fixed from the front with two screws 7. The positioning in the vertical direction is facilitated by the holding collar 8a and the guide 9a, and the mounting can be performed without error by two screws.

On the other hand, FIG. 8 shows an example of the latter leaf spring fixing system, in which a holding flange 8b of the guide rail 8 of the housed portion 10 is provided.
Is inserted along the guide of the storage section 9, and then the leaf spring at the tip of the guide rail 8 is fitted into the holding hole 9 b of the storage section 9 to be fixed.

[0005]

The above-mentioned conventional electronic device fixing method has a drawback that the screwing and fixing method is such that the screwing operation is inefficient because it is manually screwed, and the leaf spring fixing method is inefficient. Has a drawback that when a force is applied to the storage portion in the forward or rearward direction, the holding collar easily falls off from the holding hole due to the elasticity of the holding collar.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method of fixing an electronic device which can reduce the time required for assembly and the time required for disassembly without using a screw fixing means, and which does not come off even when subjected to vibration or impact.

[0007]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, an accommodating portion has a leaf spring projecting outward, and the leaf spring is projected from the outside toward the inside of the accommodating portion. When pressed, the holding pin pre-attached to the leaf spring enters a holding hole provided in the storage portion stored in the storage portion and becomes a convex state inward of the storage portion. The stored part is fixed to the storage part by pressing the storage part in which the leaf spring is stored.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, a handle provided in the center of the leaf spring protruding inwardly of the storage portion is pulled outward, so that the storage portion can be inserted into the storage portion. The fixed storage section is set in a fixed state.

A third invention is characterized in that the positioning of the holding pin and the holding hole in the first invention is performed by a guide rail and a stopper provided in the storage section.

[Operation] When a curved leaf spring is pressed in a concave direction, it is bent in a concave direction by deformation of the spring, and finally becomes convex in the opposite direction. The associated holding pin also moves in the longitudinal direction of the pin as the leaf spring moves. By disposing the mounting hole of a unit such as a floppy disk in the longitudinal direction of the pin, the pin can enter the mounting hole of the unit and the unit is held.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. The holding pin 3 is attached to a leaf spring 2 having a handle 4, and the leaf spring 2 is fixed to the frame 1 in a curved shape. In the present embodiment, the above-mentioned storage section and storage section will be specifically described as a floppy disk and a frame.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
This will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 2, both ends are fixed to the frame 1 in a shape in which the leaf spring 2 is curved so as to be convex with respect to the frame 1. Therefore, the holding pin 3 is also located at a position away from the frame 1.
In FIG. 3, when an external force is applied to the curved convex portion of the leaf spring 2 from the direction of arrow B, the elasticity of the leaf spring material causes the frame 1 to move.
Deform to the side. At the same time, the holding pin 3 also moves to the frame 1 side.

FIG. 4 shows the shape of the leaf spring 2 after deformation.
The leaf spring 2 is curved in a convex shape toward the frame 1 side. In this state, the leaf spring 2 is fixed in a curved shape, and does not return to the original position unless an external force is applied in the C direction. The holding pin 3 is up to the opposite side of the frame 1,
I'm moving.

In FIG. 4, when the handle 4 is held and pulled in the direction of the external force C, the leaf spring 2 is deformed again by the elasticity of the leaf spring material and returns to the original position.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 5 shows a floppy disk 5 with a frame 1
FIG. The floppy disk 5 is attached to the frame 1 and is held by holding pins 3.
The leaf spring 2 is curved in a convex shape toward the frame 1, and the holding pin 3 is moving inside the frame 1.

FIG. 6 is a sectional view of FIG. The leaf spring 2 is convexly curved toward the frame 1, and the accompanying holding pin also enters the inside of the frame 1 and enters the holding hole 6 of the floppy disk 5, which means that the floppy disk 5 is held. .

In FIG. 6, when the handle 4 is held and pulled in the outward direction C, the leaf spring 2 is deformed again by the elasticity of the leaf spring material, returns to the original position, and the floppy disk 5 can be taken out of the frame 1.

In order to insert the holding pin 3 into the holding hole 6 of the floppy disk 5, the inserted floppy disk 5 must be stopped at a predetermined position on the frame 1, and for that purpose, it is not shown in the drawing. However, a guide rail and a stopper are required on the floppy disk 5 and the frame 1 side as in the prior art.

[0022]

As described above, according to the present invention, the floppy disk can be fixed to the frame with one touch by the leaf spring, so that the mounting and dismounting of the unit is simplified, and the working efficiency is improved. In addition to the above, there is an effect that it is possible to provide a secure electronic device fixing method which does not come off even when vibration or impact occurs.
