Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to computer enclosures, and more particularly to a computer enclosure which has a cover plate that can be independently and readily secured to the computer enclosure by a latch member.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- A typical contemporary personal computer enclosure accommodates a number of electronic devices therein. The enclosure needs to be opened on a number of occasions for a variety of reasons, such as for replacing a defective electronic device with a new one. Therefore, the enclosure should be able to be readily opened and subsequently reassembled.
- A conventional computer enclosure includes a base, side panels, and a top panel. The side panels and the top panel are respectively secured to the base of the enclosure with separate securing elements. A plurality of locking slots is defined in the base. A plurality of locking tabs is formed on the side panels and the top panel, for engagement into the locking slots of the base. Screws are then used to secure the side panels and the top panel to the base.
- A tool is required for installation and removal of the screws. This is unduly inconvenient and time-consuming. An example of the above-mentioned mechanism is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,600,540.
- What is needed is to provide a computer enclosure having a cover plate which can be independently and readily secured thereto.
- An exemplary computer enclosure includes a chassis, a latch member, and a cover plate. The chassis includes a rear panel, and an opening. The cover plate covers the opening and has a tab depending therefrom with a pair of holes defined therein. The rear panel defines a pair of slots therein. The latch member is pivotably attached to the rear panel and includes a pair of spaced resilient arms. A pair of grooves and a pair of hooks are formed at opposite ends of the resilient arms. The grooves of the latch member engage with the rear panel adjacent the slots and the hooks movably engage in the holes of the tab of the cover plate when the resilient arms are deformed.

Theresilient arms 34 extend through theslots 144 and are movably sandwiched between a corresponding pair of the guidingplates 146. Thegrooves 342 of thelatch member 30 engage with therear panel 14 around theslots 144. - Referring also to
FIGS. 5 to 7 , before assembling thecover plate 50 to thechassis 10, theresilient arms 34 of thelatch member 30 are depressed, by applying a downward force on thehandle beam 32 via thecutout 322 of thehandle beam 32. Thelatch member 30 is rotated outward so that thegrooves 342 disengage from therear panel 14 of thechassis 10. Then thecover plate 50 is attached to thechassis 10 and covers theopening 19 of thechassis 10, with the foldedportion 522 of theflange 52 seating on thebent flange 142 of thechassis 10 and the dependingportion 524 of theflange 52 sliding downward along the dependingportion 143 of thechassis 10. Thetabs 54 of thecover plate 50 align with the dependingportions 163 of thebent flanges 162 ofchassis 10 from an interior. Theclasps 56 of thecover plate 50 engage in thesplits 184 of thechassis 10. Then thelatch member 30 is depressed and rotated back. Thehooks 344 of thelatch member 30 extend into and engage in the throughholes 522 of theflange 52 of thecover plate 50. Therear panel 14 around theslots 144 engages in thegrooves 342 of thelatch member 30. Thus, thecover plate 50 is latched to thechassis 10. - In disassembling the
cover plate 50 from thechassis 10, thelatch member 30 is rotated outward, with theresilient arms 34 depressed to disengage thegroove 342 from therear panel 14.
