Bracket for mounting light-emitting member to plate

Abstract

A bracket for mounting a light-emitting member to a computer enclosure, includes a first holding member and a second holding member connecting with the first holding member by a connecting arm which is capable of being folded to cause the first holding member to overlap and detachably engage with the second holding member to hold the light-emitting member there between. Each of the first and second holding members forms a pair of hooks configured for engaging with the computer enclosure.

1 . A bracket for mounting a light-emitting member to a plate, comprising:
 a first holding member; and   a second holding member connected to the first holding member via a connecting arm;   wherein the connecting arm is capable of being folded to cause the first holding member to overlap and detachably engage from the second holding member to sandwich the light-emitting member therebetween.   
     
     
         2 . The bracket as described in  claim 1 , wherein a cutout is defined in the connecting arm and the second holding member is rotatable about the cutout. 
     
     
         3 . The bracket as described in  claim 2 , wherein the cutout is shaped for folding the connecting arm. 
     
     
         4 . The bracket as described in  claim 2 , wherein the cutout of the connecting arm is V-shaped. 
     
     
         5 . The bracket as described in  claim 2 , wherein the cutout of the connecting arm is U-shaped. 
     
     
         6 . The bracket as described in  claim 1 , wherein the first holding member defines a locking hole therein, and the second holding member has a hook thereon for being securely locked into the locking hole of the first holding member. 
     
     
         7 . The bracket as described in  claim 6 , wherein at least one of the first and second holding members defines at least one slot therein for receiving the light-emitting member when the hook of the second holding member is locked into the locking hole of the first holding member. 
     
     
         8 . A bracket for mounting a light-emitting member to a plate, the bracket comprising:
 a first holding member;   a second holding member connected to the first holding member, the second holding member capable of being rotated to overlap the first holding member to sandwich the light-emitting member therebetween, at least one mounting hole defined in the plate, at least one hook being formed on at least one of the first and second holding members for engaging in the at least one mounting hole to secure the bracket on the plate.   
     
     
         9 . The bracket as described in  claim 8 , wherein a connecting arm connects the first and second holding members, and a cutout is defined in the connecting arm and the second holding member is rotatable about the cutout. 
     
     
         10 . The bracket as described in  claim 9 , wherein the cutout is shaped for folding the connecting arm. 
     
     
         11 . The bracket as described in  claim 9 , wherein the cutout of the connecting arm is V-shaped. 
     
     
         12 . The bracket as described in  claim 9 , wherein the cutout of the connecting arm is U-shaped. 
     
     
         13 . The bracket as described in  claim 8 , wherein the first holding member defines a locking hole therein, and the second holding member has a hook thereon for engaging in the locking hole of the first holding member. 
     
     
         14 . The bracket as described in  claim 13 , wherein at least one of the first and second holding members defines at least one slot therein for receiving the light-emitting member when the hook of the second holding member is engaged in the locking hole of the first holding member. 
     
     
         15 . A bracket for mounting a light-emitting member to a plate, the bracket comprising:
 a first holding member;   a second holding member integrally formed with the first holding member, the first holding member capable of being folded to overlap and detachably engage from the second holding member to hold the light-emitting member therebetween, at least one mounting hole defined in the plate, and at least one hook being formed at each of the first and second holding members for engaging in the corresponding mounting hole to secure the bracket to the plate.   
     
     
         16 . The bracket as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the first holding member and the second holding member are connected with each other via a connecting bar which is foldable, and ends of the first holding member and the second holding member, away from the connecting bar, are engaged with each other. 
     
     
         17 . The bracket as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the first holding member defines at least one locking hole, and the second holding member has at least one hook detachably engaging with the at least one locking hole. 
     
     
         18 . The bracket as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein each of the first holding member and the second holding member defines a half housing and a half slot, the half housings cooperatively form a whole housing configured for receiving a light-emitting portion of the light-emitting member therein, and the half slots cooperatively form a whole slot configured for receiving a protrusive base of the light-emitting member therein. 
     
     
         19 . The bracket as claimed in  claim 18 , wherein each of the first holding member and the second holding member further defines a space communicating with the corresponding housing for guiding lights emitted from the light-emitting member. 
     
     
         20 . The bracket as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the connecting bar defines a cutout about which the connecting bar is foldable.
