Abstract

A media-storing fixed frame, a computer casing and a computer host are disclosed. The computer host includes a host frame, a media-storing reader, and an operation panel. The media-storing reader is fixed in the host frame, and the media-storing reader having a setting direction relative to the host frame is changeable. The operation panel is detachably fixed on an outside portion of the host frame, and the operation panel defines a referring direction that is changeable. When the computer host is vertical or horizontal, a setting direction of the media-storing reader and a setting direction of the operation panel are changeable according to user's operation habit.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A computer host, comprising:
 a casing having a host frame;   a media-storing reader fixed in the host frame, wherein the media-storing reader having a setting direction relative to the host frame is changeable; and   an operation panel detachably fixed on an outside portion of the host frame, and the operation panel defining a referring direction that is changeable, wherein the operation panel has a plurality of function buttons for triggering corresponding function signals after pressing the function buttons.   
   
   
       2 . The computer host as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a fixed frame fixed in the host frame, wherein the media-storing reader is assembled in the fixed frame. 
   
   
       3 . The computer host as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the setting direction of the media-storing reader in the fixed frame is changeable. 
   
   
       4 . The computer host as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the fixed frame is detachably fixed in the host frame, so the setting direction of the media-storing reader relative to the host frame is changeable. 
   
   
       5 . The computer host as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the host frame has an assembly opening corresponding to the fixed frame, and the casing further comprises a shield for closing one part of the assembly opening and exposing the media-storing reader. 
   
   
       6 . The computer host as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the host frame has a receiving opening for receiving the operation panel, and both the operation panel and the receiving opening are shown as a rectangular shape. 
   
   
       7 . A media-storing fixed frame for making a media-storing reader assembled therein and fixed in a host frame of a computer casing, comprising:
 two first lateral walls parallel to each other and two second lateral walls parallel to each other, wherein the two first and the two second lateral walls are surroundingly assembled together to form an assembly hole for receiving and fixing the media-storing reader;   wherein each first lateral wall and each second lateral wall have a length equal to or larger than a max width of the media-storing reader, so the media-storing reader is selectively parallel to the first lateral walls or the second lateral walls in order to fix the media-storing reader between the two second lateral walls or the two first lateral walls.   
   
   
       8 . The media-storing fixed frame as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein each first lateral wall has a plurality of through hole, and many screws respectively pass through the through holes in order to lock two sides of the media-storing reader on the two first lateral wall. 
   
   
       9 . The media-storing fixed frame as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein each second lateral wall has a plurality of through hole, and many screws respectively pass through the through holes in order to lock two sides of the media-storing reader on the two first lateral wall. 
   
   
       10 . The media-storing fixed frame as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the assembly hole has a cross-section shown as a rectangular shape. 
   
   
       11 . The media-storing fixed frame as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein each first lateral wall and each second lateral wall have a plurality of guiding pieces vertically projected therefrom and extended along a long axle direction of the media-storing fixed frame for guiding the media-storing reader into the assembly hole. 
   
   
       12 . The media-storing fixed frame as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein each first lateral wall has two guiding pieces along a direction parallel thereto in order to divide the assembly hole into three assembly areas, each second lateral wall has two guiding pieces along a direction parallel thereto in order to divide the assembly hole into three assembly areas, and the media-storing reader is received in any one of the assembly areas. 
   
   
       13 . The media-storing fixed frame as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein each assembly area has a cross-section shown as a long rectangular shape, a long lateral side of each assembly area has a length equal to or larger than a width of the media-storing reader, and a short lateral side of each assembly area has a length equal to or larger than a height of the media-storing reader. 
   
   
       14 . A casing selectively set by a vertical or a horizontal direction, comprising:
 a host frame; and   a fixed frame for making a media-storing reader fixed therein, wherein the fixed frame is detachably fixed in the host frame, so a setting direction of the media-storing reader relative to the host frame is changeable.   
   
   
       15 . The casing as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the host frame has an assembly opening corresponding to the fixed frame, and the casing further comprises a shield for closing one part of the assembly opening and exposing the media-storing reader. 
   
   
       16 . The casing as claimed in  claim 14 , further comprising an operation panel detachably fixed on an outside portion of the host frame, wherein the operation panel defines a referring direction that is changeable. 
   
   
       17 . The casing as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the host frame has a receiving opening for receiving the operation panel, and both the operation panel and the receiving opening are shown as a rectangular shape. 
   
   
       18 . The casing as claimed in  claim 17 , further comprising a plurality of embedded grooves, wherein each embedded groove is formed on a middle section of each side of the receiving opening, the operation panel has at least one hook formed on a middle section of one side thereof, and the hook is selectively embedded in one of the embedded groove. 
   
   
       19 . The casing as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the operation panel has a display unit for displaying words and figures, and a plurality of function buttons for triggering corresponding function signals after pressing the function buttons.
