Fastener for securing a data storage device to a bracket

摘要

A fastener (30) securing a data storage device (10) to a bracket (20) includes a generally arcuate base (32), and a pair of elastically deflectable first and second arms (34, 36) extending from free ends of the base. A pair of barbs (38) is respectively formed on opposite lateral sides of a free end of each of the first and second arms. A protrusion (40) is formed on an outer face of each of the first and second arms, generally between a corresponding pair of barbs. The arms are inserted into an opening (22) of the bracket and a corresponding hole (14) of a side panel of the data storage device. The barbs interferentially clasp an inner surface of the side panel at a periphery of the hole. The protrusions are received in a pair of cutouts (24) defined in the bracket in communication with the opening.
