in a so-described combination, group, series, and the like.
[0016] Referring to FIG. 1, the disclosure provides a housing 10
which can be fixed on a wall by screws or be directly hung on a rod
of an electronic device. The housing 10 is configured to receive at
least one electronic element (such as mother board, display card,
etc.). In one embodiment, the housing 10 includes a main body 12
and a holding member 14. The holding member 14 is positioned on the
main body 12 and can be moved between a closed position and an open
position (illustrated in detail in the embodiments relating to
FIGS. 5-7), so as to connect the main body 12 to the rod. Referring
to FIGS. 1 and 2, in one embodiment, the main body 12 includes a
lateral panel 120. The lateral panel 120 has a first edge 121 and a
second edge 122 opposite to the first edge 121. A traversal line T
passes through a central portion of the lateral panel 120, and a
longitudinal axis L passes through the first edge 121, the
traversal line T, and the second edge 122.
[0017] In one embodiment, the lateral panel 120 further includes a
first groove 123, a second groove 124, a stage 125, at least one
hooking structure 131, a number of blocks (such as two blocks 133
and two blocks 135), and two retention structures 134. The first
groove 123 extends along a traversal line T and has a first depth
D1 (see FIG. 1). In one embodiment, the first groove 123 connects a
right edge of the lateral panel 120 to a left edge of the lateral
panel 120 and extends parallel to the traversal line T. However, it
should be appreciated that many variations and modifications can be
made to embodiments of the disclosure. In cases where the rod on
which the housing 10 is going to be mounted has a width, in a
direction that is parallel to the traversal line T, that is less
than a width of the main body 12, two ends of the first groove 123
are spaced apart from the right edge and the left edge of the
lateral panel 120 by a distance and are not connected to the right
edge and the left edge of the lateral panel 120.
[0018] The second groove 124 is connected to an upper side wall
1231 of the first groove 123 and extends along the longitudinal
axis L. The upper side wall 1231 is located closer than the lower
side wall 1232 of the first groove 123 is to the first edge 121.
The second groove 124 has a second depth D2 (FIG. 1). In one
embodiment, the first depth D1 is greater than the second depth D2.
In one embodiment, in a direction that is parallel to the
longitudinal axis L, two ends of the second groove 124 are
connected to the upper side wall 1231 of the first groove 123 and
the first edge 121. However, it should be appreciated that many
variations and modifications can be made to embodiments of the
disclosure. In another embodiment, the second groove 124 is spaced
apart from the first edge 121 and is not connected to the first
edge 121.
[0019] The hooking structure 131 protrudes from the lower side wall
1232 of the first groove 123 toward the traversal line T. In one
embodiment, the lateral panel 120 includes two hooking structures
131. The two hooking structures 131 are located at two sides of the
longitudinal axis L and extend from the lower side wall 1232 of the
first groove 123. The two hooking structures 131 are spaced apart
from a bottom surface 1230 of the first groove 123 by a distance
approximately equal to a thickness of a rim of the rod for
facilitating the connecting of the lateral panel 120 to the
rod.
[0020] It should be appreciated that the number of the hooking
structures 131 should not be limited to the above embodiment. In
another embodiment, the lateral panel 120 merely includes one
hooking structure 131 arranged on the longitudinal axis L. In yet
another embodiment, the lateral panel 120 includes three or more
than three hooking structures 131, the hooking structures 131 are
arranged on the lower side wall 1232 of the first groove 123 and
spaced apart from each other by the same distance.
[0021] The blocks 133 and 135 are configured to fix the holding
member 14 in the second groove 124. In one embodiment, the two
blocks 133 are located at two sides of the longitudinal axis L, and
extends from opposite sides walls 1241 and 1242 of the second
groove 124 toward the longitudinal axis L. In addition, the two
blocks 135 are located at two sides of the longitudinal axis L, and
extends from opposite sides walls 1241 and 1242 of the second
groove 124 toward the longitudinal axis L. The blocks 133 and 135
positioned on the same side wall are spaced apart from each other,
the block 135 is located closer than the block 133 is to the first
edge 121. Each of the blocks 133 and 135 is spaced from a bottom
surface 1240 of the second groove 124 by a certain distance. The
certain distance may be slightly greater than a thickness of a
flange of the holding member 14 (FIG. 1) that is going to be
mounted in the second groove 124, for facilitating a connecting of
the lateral panel 120 and the holding member 14. In another
embodiment, the two blocks 135 are omitted, and the holding member
14 is fixed on the second groove 124 via the blocks 133.
[0022] The two retention structures 134 are configured to limit a
position of the holding member 14 in the second groove 124. In one
embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the two retention structures 134
project from two side walls 1241 and 1242 of the second groove 124
and are connected to bottom sides of the two blocks 133. The cross
section of the retention structure 134 may have a semi-circular
shape, a tapered shape, or any other shape.
[0023] However, it should be appreciated that many variations and
modifications can be made to embodiments of the disclosure. In
another embodiment, each of the two retention structures 134 is
located anywhere on the side walls 1241 and 1242, and the two
retention structures 134 are misaligned with each other in a
direction that is parallel to the traversal line T. In yet another
embodiment, the two retention structures 134 are omitted, and the
movement of the holding member 14 along the longitudinal axis L is
limited merely by a clamping force generated by the blocks 133 and
the bottom surface 1240 of the second groove 124. In yet another
embodiment, one of the two retention structures 134 is omitted, and
the position of the holding member 14 in the second groove 124 is
limited by merely one retention structure 134.
[0024] Referring to FIG. 2, a stage 125 is located within the
second groove 124. The stage 125 has a rectangular shape and is
distant from the blocks 133 and 135. The holding member 14 may be
inserted into the second groove 124 via a passage defined between
the stage 125 and the block 133 and a passage defined between the
stage 125 and the block 135. A top surface of the stage 125 is
flush with a neighboring surface of the lateral panel 120.
[0025] Two fastening holes 126 are formed on the lateral panel 120.
The two fastening holes 126 are located on two sides of the
traversal line T and arranged on the longitudinal axis L.
Specifically, one of the two fastening holes 126 is formed on the
stage 125 and located between the first groove 123 and the first
edge 121, and the other fastening hole 126 is located between the
first groove 123 and the second edge 122. Since the top surface of
the stage 125 is flush with the neighboring surface of the lateral
panel 120, the two fastening holes 126 are located on the same
plane. However, it should be appreciated that many variations and
modifications can be made to embodiments of the disclosure. In the
cases where the main body 12 is not to be hung on a wall by
fastening members, the fastening holes 126 are omitted.
[0026] In one embodiment, the fastening hole 126 has a shape of a
keyhole slot to improve the mounting stability on the wall.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the edge of the fastening hole
126 has a first segment 1261 and a second segment 1262. Two ends of
the first segment 1261 are connected to two ends of the second
segment 162. The first segment 1261 is a portion of a circle and
has a width W1 that is greater than a width of a screw head that is
going to be inserted into the fastening hole 126. The second
segment 1262 has two straight sub-segments connected to two ends of
the first segment 1261 and a curved sub-segment connected between
the two straight sub-segments. A width W2 between the two straight
sub-segments is less than the width of the screw head that is going
to be inserted into the fastening hole 126. In addition, the
lateral panel 120 further includes a disk structure 127 positioned
corresponding to the fastening hole 126. The disk structure 127 is
connected to a portion of the first segment 1261 and is separated
from the remaining edge of the fastening hole 126. The disk
structure 127 is spaced apart from the front surface of the lateral
panel 120 by a distance which is approximately equal to a thickness
of the screw head that is going to be inserted into the fastening
hole 126.
[0027] FIG. 4 shows a front view of the holding member 14, in
accordance with one embodiment of the disclosure. In one
embodiment, the holding member 14 has shape of a hollow rectangle
with a side edge 141, a lower edge 143, a side edge 142, and an
upper edge 144. The side edges 141 and 142 of the holding member 14
are located on two sides of the longitudinal axis L and positioned
opposite to each other. The lower edge 143 and the upper edge 144
connect the side edge 141 to the side edge 142 and are positioned
opposite to each other. Two sliding grooves 146 in strip form are
formed immediately adjacent to the side edges 141 and 142 for
receiving the blocks 133 and 135. A width of each sliding groove
146 is substantially equal to a width of the blocks 133 and 135. In
addition, each of the side edges 141 and 142 includes a first
recess 147 and a second recess 148. The first recess 147 and the
second recess 148 are spaced apart from each other, and the second
recess 148 is closer than the first recess 147 is to the lower edge
143. The holding member 14 further includes a holding part 149. The
holding part 149 is positioned immediately adjacent to the lower
edge 143. The holding part 149 has a thickness which is decreasing
in a direction toward the lower edge 143.
[0028] FIG. 5 shows the housing 10 connecting with the rod 20 as
the holding member 14 is positioned at the open position, in
accordance with one embodiment. FIG. 6 shows the housing 10
connecting with the rod 20 as the holding member 14 is positioned
at the closed position, in accordance with one embodiment. In one
embodiment, a method for connecting the housing 10 to the rod 20 in
an electronic device 1 is described.
[0029] In the method, to connect the housing 10 to the rod 20, the
holding member 14 is firstly placed into the second groove 124.
Since the holding member 14 is made of plastic material, the
holding member 14 is deformed and passes through passages formed
between the blocks 133 and 135 and the stage 125. After the
insertion of the holding member 14 into the second groove 124, the
stage 125 is surrounded by the holding member 14. In addition, the
blocks 133 and 135 are slidably positioned in the sliding groove
146, and the holding member 14 is clamped between the blocks 133
and 135 and the bottom surface 1240 of the second groove 124. As a
result, the perpendicular movement of the holding member 14
(relative to the lateral panel 120) is limited by the blocks 133
and 135.
[0030] After the placement of the holding member 14 into the second
groove 124, the holding member 14 may be positioned at the open
position by engaging the retention structure 134 with the second
recess 148. In the cases where the retention structures 134 are
omitted, the holding member 14 may be fixed by a tightness of
fitting between the blocks 133 and 135 and the bottom surface 1240
of the second groove 124 so that the holding member 14 can be fixed
at the open position. In the open position, the holding part 149
(i.e., the lower end of the holding member 14) is flush with the
upper side wall 1231 of the first groove 123 and is located out the
first groove 123. Alternatively, in the open position, the holding
part 149 is distant from the upper side wall 1231 of the first
groove 123 and is located out of the first groove 123.
[0031] Afterwards, the rod 20 is placed into the first groove 123.
At this time, the first rim 21 of the rod 20 is clamped by the
hooking structure 131 and a bottom surface 1230 of the first groove
123. Afterwards, the holding member 14 is moved along the arrow
indicated in FIG. 5 toward the traversal line T to the closed
position as shown in FIG. 6 where the holding part 149 of the
holding member is moved into the first groove 123. The holding
member 14 may be fixed at the closed position via the engagement of
the retention structure 134 and the first recess 147. In addition,
in the closed position, as shown in FIG. 7, the second rim 22 of
the rod 20 is clamped by the holding part 149 and the bottom
surface 1230 of the first groove 123. As a result, the main body 12
can be quickly fixed in a very stable manner on the rod 20 without
the use of additional fastening elements.
[0032] It should be noted that, since the holding part 149 has a
strip shape and has a width that is substantially equal to a width
of the second groove 124, the contacting area between the holding
member 14 and the second rim 22 of the rod 20 is maximized and
stability of the housing 10 attaching to the rod 20 is thus
improved. Moreover, since the sliding groove 146 extends in same
direction as the movement of the holding member 14, the amount of
external force needing to be applied on the blocks 133 and 135 is
minimized, so that damage to the blocks 133 and 135 can be
prevented.
[0033] Referring to FIG. 6, in one embodiment, when the holding
member 14 is located at the closed position, the inner edge 145 of
the holding member 14 that is adjacent to the first edge 121 is
abutting against the side wall of the stage 125. Therefore, the
holding member 14 may be stopped at the closed position by engaging
of the inner edge 145 with the stage 125.
[0034] To unload the main body 12 from the rod 20, the holding
member 14 is moved away from the traversal line T to the open
position (FIG. 5) in the second groove 123. Since the rod 20 is not
engaged with the holding member 14, the main body 12 can be removed
from the rod 20.
[0035] FIG. 8 shows a cross-sectional view of the housing 10 in a
horizontal direction (parallel to the traversal line T) as the
housing 10 is being mounted on the wall 30. FIG. 9 shows a
cross-sectional view of the housing 10 in a vertical direction
(parallel to the longitudinal line L) as the housing 10 is being
mounted on the wall 30. In one embodiment, the housing 10 can be
hung on the wall 30 by fastening members 40. Specifically, to mount
the housing 10 on the wall 30, head portions of the two fastening
members 40 (such as screws) are inserted into the first segments
1261 (FIG. 2) of the fastening holes 126. At this time, the
perpendicular movement of the fastening member 40 (relative to the
lateral panel 120) is limited by the disk structure 127.
Afterwards, the housing 10 is moved by gravity, and the head
portions of the fastening members 40 slide into the second segment
1262 of the fastening hole 126. Since the head portion of each
fastening members 40 has a width W3 that is greater than the width
W2 of the second segment 1262 of the fastening hole 126, the
fastening members 40 are fixed on the fastening hole 126 and the
housing 10 is stably hung on the wall 30.
[0036] It should be noted that since the holding member 14 has a
shape of a hollow rectangle, the protruding stage 125 can be
received in the central area of the holding member 14. Therefore,
the fastening hole 126 on the stage 125 is located on the same
plane with the other fastening hole 126. After the housing 10 is
fixed on the hall 30, the surface of the lateral panel 120 and the
surface of the stage 125 are firmly attached on the wall 30, and no
swinging or swaying occurs.
[0037] The housing in the disclosure can be quickly mounted on a
rod or hung on a wall by fastening members. By moving the holding
member between the open position and the closed position, mounting
the housing on the rod can be done in a relatively small space with
improved work efficiency.
[0038] The embodiments shown and described above are only examples.
Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present
technology have been set forth in the foregoing description,
together with details of the structure and function of the present
disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be
made in the detail, including in matters of shape, size, and
arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present
disclosure, up to and including the full extent established by the
broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims.
