Mounting apparatus for pci card

Abstract

A mounting apparatus is configured for securing a PCI card and includes a chassis, a securing member and a latch member. The chassis includes a bottom wall and a sidewall perpendicularly connected to the bottom wall. A printed circuit board is secured to the bottom wall, and the sidewall is capable of securing the PCI card. The securing member is secured to a printed circuit board and defining a holding space. The latch member is slidably received in the holding space, the latch member capable of securing the PCI card.

1 . A mounting apparatus configured for securing a PCI card, the mounting apparatus comprising:
 a chassis, the chassis comprising a bottom wall and a sidewall perpendicularly connected to the bottom wall; a printed circuit board being secured to the bottom wall, and the sidewall being capable of securing the PCI card;   a securing member, the securing member being secured to the printed circuit board and defining a holding space; and   a latch member slidably received in the holding space, the latch member capable of securing the PCI card.   
     
     
         2 . The mounting apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the latch member defines a slit capable of receiving the PCI card. 
     
     
         3 . The mounting apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the latch member comprises a first lever and a second lever, the first lever of the latch member has a length greater than that of the second lever, and the slit is defined between the first lever and the second lever. 
     
     
         4 . The mounting apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the securing member defines a securing slot, and a protrusion is located in the holding space of the securing member and received in the securing slot. 
     
     
         5 . The mounting apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein a first tab and a second tab are located on the latch member, and the securing slot is defined between the first tab and the second tab; the securing member comprises a main portion secured to the printed circuit board and two blocks located on the main portion, the holding space is defined between the two blocks, and the protrusion is located on one of the two blocks; and the securing member defines a gap between the protrusion and the main portion to receive the first tab. 
     
     
         6 . A mounting apparatus configured for securing a PCI card, the mounting apparatus comprising:
 a chassis, the chassis comprising a bottom wall and a sidewall perpendicularly connected to the bottom wall; a printed circuit board being secured to the bottom wall, and the sidewall being capable of securing the PCI card;   a securing member being secured to the printed circuit board; and   a latch member removably attached to the securing member, the latch member comprising a first lever and a second lever, a slit defined between the first lever and the second lever and configured for receiving the PCI card.   
     
     
         7 . The mounting apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the first lever of the latch member has a length greater than that of the second lever. 
     
     
         8 . The mounting apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the securing member defines a holding space, and the latch member is slidably received the holding space. 
     
     
         9 . The mounting apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein a protrusion is located on the holding space, the latch member defines a securing slot, and the protrusion is inserted in the securing slot. 
     
     
         10 . The mounting apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein a first tab and a second tab is located on the latch member, and the securing slot is defined between the first tab and the second tab; the securing member comprises a main portion and two blocks located on the main portion, the holding space is defined between the two blocks, and the protrusion is located on one of the two blocks; and the securing member defines a gap between the protrusion and the main portion to receive the first tab.
