Abstract
A drawer type hard diskdrive mounting box including a substantially U-shaped mounting frame 3, a casing 2 moved in and out of the mounting frame 3 and having a front handle 22 turnable between a vertical position closely attached to the casing 2 and a horizontal position perpendicular to the casing 2, and a cover frame 1 covered on the casing 2, wherein the cover frame 1 is connected to the casing 2 by sliding blocks and springs such that the casing is forced away from the closed rear side of the mounting frame 3 by means of the operation of the sliding blocks and the springs when the handle 22 is turned to the horizontal position to push the cover frame 1 backwards.
Description
DRAWER TYPE HARD DISKDRIVE MOUNTING BOX
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a drawer type hard diskdrive mounting box which is comprised of a casing covered by a cover frame moved in and out of a mounting frame, wherein the casing can be conveniently moved out of the mounting frame for loading a hard diskdrive when the front handle of the casing is turned from to the horizontal position.
Various drawer type hard diskdrive mounting boxes are well known and intensively used in mobile computers for holding a hard diskdrive. Figure 1 shows a commonly used drawer type hard diskdrive mounting box, which is generally comprised of an open base frame covered with a bottom cover and a top cover. When the drawer type hard diskdrive mounting box is inserted into the corresponding hard diskdrive slot on the computer mainframe, the connector at the back side of the base frame is electrically connected to the corresponding electric connector inside the hard diskdrive slot.
When to pull the drawer type hard diskdrive mounting box from the hard diskdrive slot, much effort must be applied to the drawer type hard disdrive mounting box and the drawer tYPe hard disdrive mounting box must be maintained in balance. If pull the drawer type hard diskdrive mounting box from the hard diskdrive slot, only used by hands, it applied force is not evently distributed through the mounting box, when it is pulled out of the hard diskdrive mounting slot the contacts of the electric connector will be damaged easily.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has been accomplished to provide a drawer type hard diskdrive mounting box which eliminates the aforesaid problem. According to the preferred embodiment of the Present invention, the drawer tYPe hard diskdrive mounting box comprises a substantially U-shaped mounting frame, a casing moved in and out of the mounting frame and having a front handle turnable between a vertical position closely attached to the casing and a horizontal position perpendicular to the casing, and a cover frame covered on the casing, wherein the cover frame is connected to the casing by sliding blocks and springs such that the casing is forced away from the closed rear side of the mounting frame by means of the operation of the sliding blocks and the springs when the handle is turned to the horizontal position to push the cover frame backwards.
Because of the effect of the springs, less effort is needed to pull the casing out of the mounting frame and, the pulling force can be uniformly distributed through the casing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to Figure 2, a drawer type hard diskdrive mounting box in accordance with the present invention is generally comprised of a cover frame 1, a casing 2, a handle 22, and a mounting frame 3. The cover frame 1 is made from a flat rectangular plate by bending for covering over the casing 2, having two protruding portions 12 horizontally extended from the two opposite ends of one short side thereof, two springy hooks 13 bilaterally disposed near the protruding portions 12, and two sliding ways 14 bilaterally disposed on the inside along the length thereof.The casing 2 is a rectangular, top-open case having two retaining holes 21 bilaterally disposed at the front side thereof, two horizontal sliding slots 23 respectively made on the two opposite lateral sides, two retainer rods 25 respectively disposed within the horizontal sliding slots 23 at one end, two sliding blocks 24 respectively moved in the horizontal sliding slots 23 and having a respective retainer rod 25', two springs 26 respectively connected between the retainer rods 25 and 25', two longitudinal grooves 27 formed on the two opposite lateral sides thereof, a plurality of raised portions 28 raised from the two opposite lateral sides above the longitudinal grooves 27, and an electric connector 29 mounted on the rear side thereof (see also
Figure 5).The handle 22 is pivotably connected to the front side of the casing 2, having two protruding portions 221 at two opposite ends thereof for insertion into the retaining holes 21. The mounting frame 3 is made of substantially U-shaped configuration, having two longitudinal rails 31 bilaterally disposed on the inside, and an electric connector 33 mounted on the closed rear side 32.
Referring to Figures 3 and 4, the cover frame 1 is covered on the casing 2 by inserting the raised portions 28 into the sliding ways 14, permitting the two springy hooks 13 to hook on the sliding blocks 24 and the protruding portions 12 to be inserted into the retaining holes 21 and the springy hooks 13, and then the casing 2 with the cover frame 1 are fastened to the mounting frame 3 by inserting the rails 31 into the longitudinal grooves 27. When the casing 2 is fastened to the mounting frame 3, the electrical connectors 29 and 33 are connected together.
Referring to Figures 6, 7, and 8, when the handle 22 is turned from the vertical position to the horizontal position, the protruding portions 221 of the handle 22 are forced into the retaining holes 21 to push the protruding portions 12 of the cover frame 1 backwards, causing the springy hooks 13 to pull the sliding blocks 24 backwards. Because the cover frame 1 is stopped at the closed rear side 32 of the mounting frame 3, the casing 2 will be forced outwards from the mounting frame 3 when the protruding portions 12 of the cover frame 1 are moved backwards by the protruding portions 221 of the handle 22, causing the electric connector 29 of the casing 2 disconnected from the electric connector 33 of the mounting frame 3. When the handle 22 is turned in the reversed direction from the horizontal position to the vertical position to release the protruding portions 221 from the retaining holes 21 after the casing 2 has been moved out of the mounting frame 3, springs 26 immediately move the sliding blocks 24 back to their former positions, causing the sliding blocks 24 to pull the cover frame 1 back to its former position, and therefore the protruding portions 12 are inserted into the retaining holes 21 again. By the handle 22 is returned from the horizontal position to the vertical position to release the protuding 221 then the hard diskdrive can be Pulled out.
While only one embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described, it will be understood that various modifications and changes could be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
