Themiddle portion 71 of theoperating lever 7 has opposite first andsecond ends first end portion 76 extends and is bent from thefirst end 711 of themiddle portion 71. Thefirst end 711 of themiddle portion 71 is formed with upper and lowerengaging tongues 74 that extend respectively into the upper and lower first through-holes 64 in the second supportingplate 6. Thesecond end portion 78 of theoperating lever 7 is bent and extends from thesecond end 712 of themiddle portion 71 into the second through-hole 63 in the second supportingplate 6. Theoperating lever 7 is rotatable relative to the second supportingplate 6 between a first angular position (seeFIG. 6 ), in which thesecond end portion 78 of theoperating lever 7 is disposed outside of themounting space 80 and in which the upper and lowerengaging tongues 74 extend respectively through the upper and lower first through-holes 64 in the second supportingplate 6 and into themounting space 80 between the first and second supportingplates engaging holes 31 in the box-like device 3, thereby preventing removal of the box-like device 3 from thecomputer housing 4, and a second angular position (seeFIG. 7 ), in which thesecond end portion 78 of theoperating lever 7 extends through the second through-hole 63 in the second supportingplate 6 and into themounting space 80 and in which the upper and lowerengaging tongues 74 are disposed outside of themounting space 80 and are disengaged from the upper and lowerengaging holes 31 in the box-like device 3, thereby permitting removal of the box-like device 3 from thecomputer housing 4.

plate 6 has aninner surface 611 facing toward the first supportingplate 5, and anouter surface 612 opposite to theinner surface 611. The second supportingplate 6 is formed with a pair of C-shaped protrusions 621 projecting from theouter surface 612 and each defining aretaining recess 622. Themiddle portion 71 of theoperating lever 7 is formed with a pair ofpivot pins 721 that are respectively retained in theretaining recesses 622 in the C-shaped protrusions 621 so as to permit pivoting of theoperating lever 7 to the second supportingplate 6. - The
middle portion 71 of theoperating lever 7 is further formed with aspring arm 75 that protrudes therefrom to abut resiliently against the outer,surface 612 of the second supportingplate 6 for urging theoperating lever 7 to move from the first angular position toward the second angular position. - The first supporting
plate 5 is formed with a pair ofresilient arms 52 havingprotrusions 53 protruding therefrom into themounting space 80 between the first and second supportingplates like device 3 toward the second supportingplate 6. Theprotrusions 53 are respectively registered with and protrude into the upper and lowerengaging holes 31 in the box-like device 3 when the box-like device 3 is positioned in themounting space 80. It should be noted herein that theresilient arms 52 and theprotrusions 53 of the first supportingplate 5 are formed by punching techniques. - To mount the box-
like device 3 in the computer housing, the box-like device 3 is moved into themounting space 80 between the first and second supportingplates housing body 4. During the process of insertion, theresilient arms 52 of the first supportingplate 5 will be pushed outwardly and accumulate an urging force so that when the upper and lower engagingholes 31 in one of the lateral sides of the box-like device 3 are registered with theprotrusions 53, the urging force of theresilient arms 52 will urge theprotrusions 53 to move into the upper and lowerengaging holes 31. In the meantime, thesecond end portion 78 of theoperating lever 7 will be pushed outwardly of themounting space 80 such that theoperating lever 7 pivots about the pivot pins 72 to drive the upper and lowerengaging tongues 74 through the upper and lower first through-holes 64 in the second supportingplate 6 to engage the upper and lowerengaging holes 31 so as to secure the box-like device 3 to the computer housing. - When the box-
like device 3 is to be removed from the computer housing, thefirst end portion 76 of theoperating lever 7 is pulled in a direction away from the second supportingplate 6 so as to disengage the upper and lowerengaging tongues 74 from the upper and lowerengaging holes 31, thereby permitting removal of the box-like device 3 from the computer housing. Note that thespring arm 75 of theoperating lever 7, which abuts against the second supportingplate 6, will accumulate a restoring force when the box-like device 3 is mounted between the first and second supportingplates like device 3 is removed from the computer housing, the restoring force of thespring arm 75 will restore theoperating lever 7 from the first angular position to the second angular position. - With the inclusion of the
operating lever 7 in the computer housing of this invention, the fasteners required for securing the box-like device to the conventional computer housing are dispensed with such that the aforesaid drawback associated with the prior art can be eliminated. - While the present invention has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent arrangements.
