Screwless Computer Drive Assembly

US Patent:
6370022, Apr 9, 2002
Filed:
Nov 1, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/430992
Inventors:
Paul Hooper - El Paso TX
Bryan Evans - Las Cruces NM
Assignee:
Gateway, Inc. - N. Sioux City SD
International Classification:
H05K 714
US Classification:
361685, 361683, 361727, 3122232
Abstract:
A screwless computer drive assembly is provided wherein a drive mounting bracket or computer chassis is equipped with lock sliders which, when engaged, compress flexible, flanged tabs into corresponding holes located on the computer drive. The lock sliders slide along the outside of the drive mounting bracket causing the flexible tabs to flex inward resulting in the ends of the tabs engaging the holes. Once the tabs have engaged the holes in the drive, the drive is securely held in place.
