1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to computer enclosures, especially to a computer enclosure with a pull tab.
2. Description of Related Art
Many computers have an information label about the computer on the enclosure. The information label is sometimes located on a pull tab, which can be slid from the enclosure of the computer when one wants to read the information about the computer. The pull tab is directly retained in a sliding way of a bracket mounted to the enclosure. However, the present pull tabs cannot be smoothly guided by the sliding way of the bracket. Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.
Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with references to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.
An embodiment of a computer enclosure can be a server rack enclosure for receiving servers or an enclosure for receiving computer hardware directly.

The chassis 10 includes a bottom wall 11. A plurality of hollow collar posts 17 is located on the bottom wall 11. A mounting hole 15 is defined in the bottom wall 11.
The mounting bracket 50 includes a top board 53, two side flanges 51 and a resilient clip 55. The two side flanges 51 extend from opposite sides of the top board 53. The two side flanges 51 are located at a lower plane relative to a plane of the top board 53. A plurality of mounting holes 512 is defined in each of the side flanges 51 corresponding to the collar posts 17. The resilient clip 55 is deformable relative to the top board 53. A slot 57 is defined between the resilient clip 55 and the top board 53. The slot 57 traverses the top board 53 and extends to a middle line of the top board 53. A locking hole 554 is defined in the resilient clip 55. An operation finger 552 is located at a distal end of the resilient clip 55 for pulling the resilient clip 55.
A fastener 70 extends through the locking hole 554 and engages with the resilient clip 55. The fastener 70 includes a body 71 and a foot 73. The body 71 can be deformed and is engaged in the locking hole 554. An annular groove 711 is defined around the body 71 to engage with the resilient clip 55 (see
The pull tab 30 may be used to attach an information label 100 about a computer. The pull tab 30 includes a rectangular supporting board 32, a holding board 33, and a handle 35. A channel 323, or a through slot, is defined in the supporting board 32 along a first direction. The channel 323 travels along a straight line in one embodiment. The resilient holding board 33 is oblique to the supporting board 32. The resilient holding board 33 may be curved. The handle 35 extends from the resilient holding board 33. An arcuate holding space is defined in the handle 35 for facilitating being pulled by hand.
