Then, the upper surface of the rear end portion of the lower wall 13 contacts the elastic contact portion 10d, and the lower wall 13 is elastically contacted with the lower elastic contact piece 10 (see FIG. 9).

Further, when the mounting member 11 is moved rearward and the lower wall 13 is elastically contacted with the lower elastic contact piece 10, the elastically contacted portion 6 b of the guide ridge 6 is elastically contacted with the elastically contacting member 23 almost simultaneously. You.

That is, the elastic contact member 23 supported by the side wall 16 by the rearward movement of the mounting member 11 comes into contact with the front edge of the elastic contact portion 6b of the guide ridge 6 formed on the upper surface wall 4 (FIG. 1
0), the mounting member 11 is further moved rearward, so that the elastic contact member 23 comes into sliding contact with the front edge of the elastic contact portion 6b of the guide ridge 6, and then the right side surface of the elastic contact portion 6b elastically contacts. The side wall 16 is in elastic contact with the member to be contacted 6b via the elastic member 23 in contact with the member 23 (see FIG. 11). And
As described above, when the side wall 16 is elastically contacted with the portion to be elastically contacted 6b, a moving force to the right is applied to the mounting member 11 by the elastic force of the elastic member 23, and the upper wall 12 and the lower The right edge of the wall 13 abuts on the right guide ridge 6 and the guide ridge 7 in each of the arrangement portions 8.

The insertion of the mounting member 11 into the arrangement portion 8 is performed as follows.
When the lower end 14a of the front wall 14 contacts the step 5a of the lower wall 5, and the upper end of the front panel 19 attached to the front wall 14 simultaneously contacts the engaging wall 4b of the upper wall 4. The process ends (see FIG. 4).

When the lower end 14a contacts the step 5a, the mounting screw 27 inserted through the screw insertion hole formed in the front panel 19 is screwed into the screw hole of the lower end 14a of the front wall 14 and the step. It is screwed into a screw hole 5b formed in the portion 5a (see FIG. 4).

At this time, the operating member 18a of the lock handle 18 supported on the front wall 14 is operated to rotate the lock member 17, and the lock member 17
1 is locked to the upper wall 4 (see FIG. 4). Lock member 1
7 locks the mounting member 11 with a lock handle 18.
By engaging the engaging portion 17b with the lower edge of the engaging wall portion 4b from the rear while the lock member 17 is urged to rotate counterclockwise in FIG. Is done.

In the main body 2, a main body connector 28 connected to a power supply unit provided in the main body 2 is disposed corresponding to the disk connector 21 provided on the substrate 20. As shown in FIG.
When the power supply unit is inserted into the hard disk drive 24 (see FIG. 4), the power supply unit of the main body 2 and the hard disk 24 are electrically connected.

For example, when it is desired to replace the hard disk 24, the mounting member 11 is taken out of the mounting portion 8, the hard disk 24 that has been mounted is removed from the mounting member 11, and another hard disk 24 is mounted. 11 and then re-inserted into the arranging section 8.
This is performed by removing the mounting screw 27 fixing the mounting member 1, releasing the lock by the lock member 17, and pulling out the mounting member 11 to the near side.

The upper member 9, the lower member 10 and the elastic member 23 are brought into contact with the respective members only when the attachment member 11 is pulled out from the arrangement portion 8 immediately after the attachment member 11 is pulled out. However, after the elastic contact state is released, there is almost no load on the mounting member 11, so that the operation can be performed extremely smoothly.

As described above, the mounting member 11 has its front end portion fixed to the lower surface wall 5 by the mounting screw 27 and locked to the upper surface wall 4 by the locking member 17 while the upper wall 12 is being locked. And the lower wall 13 is elastically contacted with the upper elastic contact piece 9 and the lower elastic contact piece 10, respectively, and the elastic contact portion 6b of the guide ridge 6 is elastically contacted with the elastic contact member 23 supported by the side wall 16. By doing so, it is resiliently supported in the arrangement portion 8. Therefore, when the hard disk 24 mounted on the mounting member 11 is driven, that is, when the disk disposed inside the hard disk 24 rotates or the head is accessed, the mounting member 11 can be prevented from rattling. An appropriate operation state can be ensured.

The upper contact piece 9, the lower contact piece 10, and the contacted portion 6 b of the guide ridge 6 are all provided at the rear end of the arrangement portion 8 or at a position near the rear end. Immediately before the insertion of the member 11 into the arrangement portion 8 is completed, the elastic contact between the mounting member 11 and each part of the main body 2 is performed. Therefore, an unnecessary load is not applied to the mounting member 11 until immediately before the completion of the insertion of the mounting member 11, and the insertion into the arrangement portion 8 can be smoothly performed with a small force until immediately before the completion of the insertion, thereby improving workability. be able to.

It is formed in a tapered shape approaching the wall 13, and the rear half portion of the elastic contact member 23 approaches the elastic contact portion 6 b of the guide ridge 6 as going in the direction opposite to the insertion direction in which the mounting member 11 is inserted. When the mounting member 11 is inserted into the disposition portion 8, the upper wall 12, the lower wall 13, and the rear half of the resilient member 23 are respectively a base end portion 9a, a front end portion 10c, and a contacted portion. Since the upper elastic contact piece 9, the lower elastic contact piece 10, and the resilient member 23 bend by sliding contact with 6b, the insertion of the mounting member 11 into the arrangement portion 8 can be easily performed, and workability is improved.

In the above description, the upper elastic contact piece 9 and the lower elastic contact piece 10 are formed on the upper surface wall 4 and the lower surface wall 5 of the main body 2, respectively, and are formed on the upper wall 12 and the lower wall 13 of the mounting member 11. The elastic contact member 23 is supported on the side wall 16 of the mounting member 11 and elastically contacts the elastic contact portion 6b of the guide ridge 6, but the upper wall 12 of the mounting member 11 and Lower wall 13
The upper elastic contact piece and the lower elastic contact piece are respectively formed on the upper surface wall 4 and the lower surface wall 5 of the main body 2, and the elastic contact member 23 is supported and attached to the elastic contact portion 6b of the guide ridge 6. You may make it elastically contact the side wall 16 of the member 11. In this case, the same effect as above can be obtained.
