Case for receiving portable storage peripheral equipment

Abstract

A case ( 1 ) is provided for receiving a portable storage peripheral equipment which generally accomplishes signal transmission with a computer. The case includes a case body consisting of a top cover ( 10 ) and a bottom cover ( 20 ). The case body defines a receiving space ( 60 ) for receiving the portable storage peripheral equipment. Each of the top cover and the bottom cover has a pair of baffle ( 22 ) parallel to corresponding sidewalls ( 14 ) thereof. An arm ( 28 ) extends upwardly from each baffle of the bottom cover. The baffle of the top cover defines a gap ( 224 ) nicely receiving the arm. The arm has an engaging portion ( 282 ) at a free end thereof and extending into the receiving space for elastically interfering with outer sidewalls of the portable storage peripheral equipment. The portable storage peripheral equipment is thus reliably and accurately retained in the case.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A case for portable storage peripheral equipment comprising a case body consisting of a first and a second covers and defining a receiving space therein for receiving a portable storage peripheral equipment, the first cover having an arm formed adjacent to a boundary of the cover, the arm having an engaging portion at a free end thereof and extending into the receiving space for elastically engaging with the portable storage peripheral equipment.  
     
     
         2 . The case for portable storage peripheral equipment as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the engaging portion has a projection projecting inwardly to the receiving space for interfering with outer sidewalls of the portable storage peripheral equipment.  
     
     
         3 . The case for portable storage peripheral equipment as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first and the second covers each comprises a pair of elongate baffles adjacent a pair of sidewalls of the case and extending parallel to corresponding sidewalls of the case.  
     
     
         4 . The case for portable storage peripheral equipment as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein each baffle defines a guiding portion at a front end thereof and inclining towards the sidewall.  
     
     
         5 . The case for portable storage peripheral equipment as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the arm integrally extends from the baffle of the cover and locates between the baffle and the guiding portion, the arm has a connection portion connecting the engaging portion and the baffle and the connection portion having a same height as that of the baffle.  
     
     
         6 . The case for portable storage peripheral equipment as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the baffle of the second cover defines a gap corresponding to the engaging portion of the first cover nicely receiving the engaging portion of the arm of the first cover therein.  
     
     
         7 . The case for portable storage peripheral equipment as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the first and second covers are a top and a bottom cover, the arm extends upwardly from the baffle of the bottom cover, and the gap is defined in the baffle of the top cover.  
     
     
         8 . The case for portable storage peripheral equipment as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein a first slit is defined between the arm and the guiding portion and a second slit is defined between the baffle and the arm for providing flexibility when the portable storage peripheral equipment is assembled in the case.  
     
     
         9 . The case for portable storage peripheral equipment as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the arm deform in a first position by interfering with sidewalls of the portable storage peripheral equipment for allowing the portable storage peripheral equipment easily assemble into the receiving space and subsequently the arm resume to original position and elastically engage with the portable storage peripheral equipment with each projection therefore interfering with the outer surface of the sidewalls of the portable storage peripheral equipment when the portable storage peripheral equipment is completely received in the receiving space of the case.  
     
     
         10 . A case for portable storage peripheral equipment comprising: 
 a first cover having a first sidewall and an arm extending parallel to the first sidewall and adjacent to the first sidewall; and    a second cover opposite to the first cover, and having a second sidewall corresponding to the first sidewall;    wherein the first cover and the second cover are cooperated with each other to form a case body, the first cover and the second cover together defining a receiving space therebetween for receiving the portable storage peripheral equipment therein, the arm of the first cover extending into the receiving space for engaging with sidewalls of the portable storage peripheral equipment.    
     
     
         11 . The case for portable storage peripheral equipment as clamed in  claim 10 , wherein the arm has an engaging portion at a free end thereof for engaging with the sidewalls of the portable storage peripheral equipment.  
     
     
         12 . The case for portable storage peripheral equipment as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the first cover and the second cover each defines a pair of elongate baffles parallel to corresponding sidewalls of the first cover, the arm integrally extending from the baffle of the first cover.  
     
     
         13 . The case for portable storage peripheral equipment as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the baffle of the second cover defines a gap corresponding to the engaging portion of the arm of the first cover, the engaging portion of the arm of the first cover nicely received in the gap.  
     
     
         14 . The case for portable storage peripheral equipment as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the first cover forms a plurality of locking flakes protruding upwardly therefrom, the second cover defines a corresponding number of locking apertures snugly receiving the locking flakes therein to fasten the first cover and the second cover together.  
     
     
         15 . A portable storage peripheral equipment comprising: 
 a case body with a flat type box defining lengthwise and lateral directions perpendicular to each other, with a less height extending in a vertical direction perpendicular to both said lengthwise and lateral directions;    an opening formed along a portion of a periphery of said box in the lateral direction; and    in an interior of said box and adjacent to said opening, a pair of guiding portions being formed by at lateral ends, and a pair of resilient engaging arms closely respectively located behind and aligned with said pair of guiding portions in said lengthwise direction.
