Abstract

A device for assembling, dismantling, repairing, improving and accessing the inside of a microcomputer while preventing the unintended disconnection of a cable or wire strip resulting from inexpert handling and having irreversible consequences for the computer. The device is also useful for rigidly connecting the mother-board and the extensions thereof while enabling rotation thereof to enable easy access, and provides automatic locking when a decorative cover is in place. Said device consists of an assembly of mother-board (5) and extension (6) panels rotatable about two hinges (8) and lockable in two places by engaging a locking member (9) and an insert (18), respectively. Pressure is exerted at these points when the decorative cover (16) is replaced. Conversely, the insert (18) may be released by removing the decorative cover (16). A spring (11) pushes back the locking member (9) to release the panel assembly (5, 6). Said device is particularly suitable for opening and accessing the inside of a microcomputer, and reassembling same.
