Two protrusions and a blocking piece adjacent to one of the protrusions protrude from the fixing plate. Each fixing member includes a sidewall, and a top wall and a bottom wall perpendicularly extending from opposite sides of the sidewall. The top walls are fastened to a bottom wall of the HDD. Each bottom wall defines an engaging hole. Each engaging hole includes a first hole and a second hole communicating with the first hole. A projection protrudes from the sidewall of one of the fixing members away from the corresponding bottom wall. The HDD is slid toward the blocking piece, to allow the protrusions to enter and engage in the corresponding second holes from the corresponding first holes. The projection is blocked by the blocking piece. | 03-27-2014 |
20140119911 | FAN DEVICE - A fan device includes a board defining an opening and a fan assembly pivotably received in the opening. The fan assembly includes a fan and a frame receiving the fan. The frame includes a top wall, a bottom wall, and two sidewalls. A front plate extends down and diagonally forward from a front side of the bottom wall. A resilient limiting member is formed on one of the sidewalls. When a bottom of the fan assembly is pivoted rearward to make the fan assembly slanting relative to the board, the front plate is abutted a front side of the board, and the limiting member is abutted a rear side of the board. | 05-01-2014 |
