Mounting apparatus for storage device

Abstract

A mounting apparatus for holding a storage device defining a plurality of mounting holes in a side thereof includes a bracket and a plurality of attaching members. The bracket includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall parallel to the first sidewall, the first sidewall defines a plurality of through holes, corresponding to the mounting holes. Each attaching member includes a base and a protrusion formed on the base, and the base attaches to the outside surface of the first sidewall of the bracket via magnetism generated between the base and the first sidewall, and the protrusions extends though the through holes of the first sidewall and inserts into the corresponding mounting hole of the storage device.

1 . A mounting apparatus for holding a storage device with a plurality of mounting holes defined in a side thereof, the mounting apparatus comprising:
 a bracket adapted for accommodating the storage device therein, and comprising a first sidewall and a second sidewall parallel to the first sidewall, the first sidewall comprising a plurality of through holes, corresponding to the mounting holes; and   a plurality of attaching members each comprising a base and a protrusion formed on the base, the base attached to an outside surface of the first sidewall of the bracket via magnetism generated between the base and the first sidewall, and the protrusions extending though the through holes of the first sidewall and inserting into the corresponding mounting holes of the storage device.   
   
   
       2 . The mounting apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a handle is formed on the base for facilitating manipulating each of the attaching member, the mounting apparatus further comprises a chassis having a side panel which abutted against the attaching member. 
   
   
       3 . The mounting apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the base has a magnetic coating around the protrusion, an outside surface of the first sidewall is coated a magnetic coating for generating magnetism in cooperation with the base. 
   
   
       4 . The mounting apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the base or the whole attaching member is made of magnetic material, an outside surface of the first sidewall of the bracket is made of steel.
