Description
- The present invention relates to mounting assemblies for covers of electronic device enclosures, and more particularly to a mounting assembly for a cover of an enclosure for convenient assembly or disassembly.
- Electronic equipment, such as personal computers or servers, generally comprise an enclosure for housing various electronic components. The enclosure typically comprises a chassis having a plurality of panels connected to each other and a cover slidably mounted to the chassis with screws or similar fasteners. This inevitably slows down assembly of the enclosure, and increases costs in mass production facilities. In addition, the screws or other fasteners add to the inventory in a mass production facility. The more inventory items that need to be monitored, the higher the risk of production line shutdown in the event of a shortage of inventory. Moreover, screwdrivers or other tools are necessary for installation or removal of the enclosure cover, and it is time-consuming and laborious to use them.
- A typical mounting assembly is arranged at an end of a chassis for assembly or disassembly of a cover. A rear wall is inward bent to form a supporting plate with a hole defined therein. The cover is inward bent to form a locking tab with a locking opening defined therein and a second abutting portion. The mounting assembly comprises a lever having a locking portion and a first abutting portion, and a resilient device locating between the supporting plate and the lever. The locking opening of the locking tab engages the locking portion. Pulling the lever releases the locking portion from the locking opening, and then the first abutting portion of the lever pushes the second abutting portion of the lever. Although the mounting assembly does not need to use screwdrivers, the operation of above-described mounting assembly is unduly complicated.
- What is needed, therefore, is to provide a mounting assembly for an enclosure cover, that allows convenient installation or removal of the cover.
- A mounting assembly includes a chassis, a cover slidably mounted to the chassis in a first direction, and a clamping member securely mounted on the cover. The chassis comprises a rear wall having a locking portion thereon. The clamping member has a positioning portion thereon for engaging with the locking portion, and a pressing portion for urging the positioning portion to disengage from the locking portion. When the pressing portion of the clamping member is pressed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the positioning portion is resiliently bent in the second direction, thereby disengaging the positioning portion from the locking portion of the chassis.

A pair ofmounting holes 322 is defined in themounting portion 32 for extension of the corresponding locking member therethrough. A positioning portion is formed on theclamping member 30. In the preferred embodiment, the positioning portion is apositioning tab 324 with a free end thereon, extending perpendicularly from themounting portion 32. Arectangular positioning hole 326 is defined in thepositioning tab 324. Acantilever 33 with a free end is formed on theclamping member 30 by stamping. A resisting portion, above the free end of thepositioning tab 324, is formed at the free end of thecantilever 33. In the preferred embodiment, the resisting portion is a pair of semicircular resistingblocks 331 formed respectively on two edges of thecantilever 33. Apressing portion 333, opposite to the resisting portion, is formed on thecantilever 33 corresponding to the opening 25 of theenclosure cover 20. - Referring also to
FIGS. 3 , 4, and 5, in assembly of theclamping member 30, the locking members extend through the through holes of theflange 21 of theenclosure cover 20 to engage in themounting holes 322 of theclamping member 30 respectively, thereby securely mounting theclamping member 30 on an inner side of theenclosure cover 20. At this moment, a side of thepressing portion 333 of theclamping member 30 abuts against a vertical portion of the L-shaped stop tab 23, and a horizontal portion of the L-shaped stop tab 23 is below thepressing portion 333 for preventing thepressing portion 333 from further downward movement. In assembly of theenclosure cover 20, theenclosure cover 20 is placed on thechassis 10 for covering the space. Thecatches 24 of theenclosure cover 20 are first aligned with the wide portions of the corresponding throughslots chassis 10. The catches of the front end of theenclosure cover 20 are aligned with theflange 141 of thefront wall 14. Thepositioning tab 324 is aligned with the rectangular throughhole 136 of therear wall 13. Thelocking hole 211 of theflange 21 of theenclosure cover 20 is aligned with thelocking tab 138 of therear wall 13. Then, theenclosure cover 20 is pushed forwardly in a first direction. In the preferred embodiment, the first direction may be a horizontal direction. Thepositioning tab 324 inserts through the rectangular throughhole 136 of therear wall 13, and then the locking blocks 134 resist against thepositioning tab 324, thereby urging thepositioning tab 324 to resiliently bend. When the locking blocks 134 engage in thepositioning hole 326 of thepositioning tab 324, thepositioning tab 324 rebounds back to its original position. Simultaneously, thecatches 24 of theenclosure cover 20 engage in the narrow portions of the corresponding throughslots chassis 10. The catches of the front end of theenclosure cover 20 engage with theflange 141 of thefront wall 14. Thelocking tab 138 of therear wall 13 inserts through therectangular locking hole 211 of theenclosure cover 20. Thus, theenclosure cover 20 is securely mounted on thechassis 10. At this state, thepressing portion 333 of thecantilever 33 of the clampingmember 30 is located below therectangular opening 25 of theenclosure cover 20. In addition, for the sake of security, a lock can be arranged on thelocking tab 138 for preventing an unauthorized person from taking crucial components out of the enclosure. - In disassembly of the
enclosure cover 20, thepressing portion 333 of thecantilever 33 of the clampingmember 30 located below therectangular opening 25 of theenclosure cover 20, is first pressed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the semicircular resistingblocks 331 of thecantilever 33 push the free end of thepositioning tab 324 to urge thepositioning tab 324 to resiliently and downwardly bend, thereby disengaging the locking blocks 134 from thepositioning hole 326 of thepositioning tab 324. Theenclosure cover 20 is then pulled backwardly in the first direction. When thecatches 24 of theenclosure cover 20 disengage from the corresponding throughslots chassis 10; the catches of the front end of theenclosure cover 20 disengage from theflange 141 of thefront wall 14; thelocking tab 138 of therear wall 13 disengages from the lockinghole 211 of theflange 21 of theenclosure cover 20; and thepositioning tab 324 of the clampingmember 30 disengages from the rectangular throughhole 136 of therear wall 13, theenclosure cover 20 is thus removed from thechassis 10. - While the present invention has been illustrated by the description of preferred embodiments thereof, and while the preferred embodiments have been described in considerable details, it is not intended to restrict or in any way limit the scope of the appended claims to such detail.
