RETAINING MECHANISM FOR DATA STORAGE DEVICE

摘要

This invention relates to a retaining mechanism adapted for securing a data storage device having sides formed with a plurality of mounting holes. The retaining mechanism includes a securing structure and a retainer. The securing structure includes a wall body, an accommodating hole formed through the wall body, and a pair of elastic arms extending from the wall body into the accommodating hole. Each elastic arm has a fixed end connected to the corresponding inner surface of the accommodating hole and a free end extending inclined and downwardly toward a bottom of the accommodating hole. The retainer has one end engaging one of the mounting holes in the data storage device and the other end pressed by the elastic arms, and is secured in the securing structure. The retaining mechanism can be used as a snap-in bracket or a frame for quick replacement of the data storage device.
