Mounting apparatus for storage device

Abstract

A mounting apparatus for holding a storage device includes a bracket, a base, a sliding member, an elastic member and an operating member. The bracket includes a receiving groove. The base includes a receiving space for receiving the bracket and a fixing portion corresponding to the receiving groove. The sliding member is disposed in the fixing portion and engaged with the receiving groove, for flexible connecting the bracket and the base. The elastic member is disposed in the fixing portion, for replacement of the sliding member. The operating member is connected with the sliding member for moving the sliding member. The storage device is fixed in the bracket and the bracket is flexible connected with the base. Thus, the storage device is easy to assemble or disassemble from the base.

       6 . The mounting apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises two side plates, each of the side plates of the bracket comprises two protrusions, and each of the sidewalls of the base comprises two L-shape openings, the protrusions engaged with the openings.  
   
   
       7 . The mounting apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises a bottom plate, a stopping plate being bent from an end of the bottom plate and a plurality of locating portions extending from an inner side of the stopping plate, and the base defines a plurality of locating holes corresponding to the locating portions.  
   
   
       8 . A mounting apparatus assembly comprising: 
 a storage device;    a bracket for receiving the storage device, the bracket comprising a receiving groove;    a base comprising a receiving space for receiving the bracket and a fixing portion corresponding to the receiving groove; and    a connecting member engaged with the receiving groove, for flexible connecting the base and the bracket.    
   
   
       9 . The mounting apparatus assembly as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the connecting member comprises a sliding member disposed in the fixing portion and engaged with the receiving groove, an elastic member disposed in the fixing portion for replacement of the sliding member, and an operating member connected with the sliding member for moving the sliding member.  
   
   
       10 . The mounting apparatus assembly as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the sliding member comprises a first resisting portion and a main portion, and the first resisting portion is inserted into the receiving groove.  
   
   
       11 . The mounting apparatus assembly as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the sliding member comprises two second resisting portions, each of the second resisting portions comprises a latching slot, the fixing portion comprises a sliding aperture, and the operating member comprises two latching portions, each of the latching portions gets through the sliding aperture and the latching slot, and engages with the second resisting portions.  
   
   
       12 . The mounting apparatus assembly as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the sliding member comprises a main portion, a protruding post extends from the main portion between the second resisting portions, and two ends of the elastic member are connected to the protruding post and an inner side of the fixing portion.  
   
   
       13 . The mounting apparatus assembly as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the bracket comprises two side plates, each of the side plates defines two recesses in two ends thereof, a block is formed from each of the recesses, and a screw is inserted through the block for fixing the storage device in the bracket.
