Mounting assembly for enclosure cover

Abstract

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.

       8 . The mounting assembly as described in  claim 1 , wherein the cover forms an L-shaped stop tab for restricting movement of the pressing portion of the clamping member in the second direction. 
   
   
       9 . The mounting assembly as described in  claim 1 , wherein the clamping member has a mounting portion for securely mounting the clamping member on the cover. 
   
   
       10 . A computer enclosure comprising:
 a chassis having a locking portion thereon;   a cover slidably mounted to the chassis; and   a clamping member mounted on the cover, the clamping member having a positioning portion thereon for engaging with the locking portion of the chassis, and the clamping member having a cantilever with a free end thereon, a resisting portion formed at the free end of the cantilever configured for resisting against the positioning portion to urge the positioning portion to resiliently bend to thereby disengage form the locking portion of the chassis.   
   
   
       11 . The computer enclosure as described in  claim 10 , wherein the positioning portion comprises a positioning tab with a free end thereon, the resisting portion configured for resisting against the free end of the positioning tab. 
   
   
       12 . The computer enclosure as described in  claim 11 , wherein the locking portion comprises a pair of locking blocks formed on the chassis, and the positioning tab defines a positioning hole therein for engaging with the locking blocks. 
   
   
       13 . The computer enclosure as described in  claim 12 , wherein the chassis comprises a rear wall, a flange with a recessed portion is formed on the rear wall, and the locking blocks are formed on the recessed portion of the flange. 
   
   
       14 . The computer enclosure as described in  claim 13 , wherein the rear wall of the chassis defines a through hole therein for extension of the positioning tab therethrough. 
   
   
       15 . The computer enclosure as described in  claim 13 , wherein a rear end of the cover is bent to form a flange, the rear wall of the chassis is formed to have a locking tab, and the flange defines a locking hole therein for extension of the locking tab therethrough. 
   
   
       16 . The computer enclosure as described in  claim 10 , wherein the chassis further comprises a top wall having a flange, and a bottom wall having a flange, the cover forms a plurality of catches thereon, and the flanges of the top wall and the bottom wall define a plurality of through slots for engaging with the corresponding catches. 
   
   
       17 . The computer enclosure as described in  claim 10 , wherein the cantilever has a pressing portion opposite to the resisting portion, and the cover forms an L-shaped stop tab for restricting movement of the pressing portion. 
   
   
       18 . A computer enclosure comprising:
 a chassis comprising a plurality of panels cooperatively forming a space therebetween, one of the panels defining a through hole;   a cover slidably mounted to the chassis in a first direction and configured for covering the space; and   a clamping member configured for securing the cover to the chassis, the clamping member comprising a fixed end securely attached to the cover and a free end opposing to the fixed end, a positioning tab extending from the fixed end of the clamping member toward the free end thereof, a cantilever extending from the free end of the clamping member toward the fixed end thereof and comprising a resisting portion overlapped with one portion of the positioning tab in the first direction and spaced from the positioning tab in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, wherein   an interlocking structure is formed between the positioning tab and said one of the panels and the positioning tab is extentable through the through hole of the chassis in the first direction to allow the interlocking structure to interlock the positioning tab and said one of the panels; and   the resisting portion is configured for resisting against the positioning tab in the second direction to resiliently bend to thereby unlock the interlocking structure from the positioning tab and said one of the panels.
