External storage device unit, and information processor including the same

摘要

Side frame plates 20, 20 are mounted on both the sides 13a, 13b of an external storage device 10. One side frame plate 20 is furnished with leaf springs 29 which lie in touch with one side wall surface 53 of an accommodation housing 50 and which push the external storage device 10 toward the other side wall 53. Besides, the upper ends of frame plates proper 21 are formed with protrusions 26 which make the full width Wa of the side frame plates 20 longer than the spacing H between the top and bottom wall surfaces 51, 52 of the accommodation housing 50. The protrusions 26 are collapsed by plastic deformation in the process of accommodating the external storage device into the accommodation housing 50. Owing to the above construction, reduction in the size of the accommodation housing 50 for accommodating the external storage device 10 can be achieved.
