1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a mounting apparatus for an electronic device.
2. Description of Related Art
Servers are often mounted to a rack by sliders. This can increase manufacture costs of the system.
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 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.

Each retaining member 50 is attachable to a positioning member 33 and includes a retaining portion 51 and a locking portion 53 located on the retaining portion 51. In one embodiment, the retaining portion 51 and the locking portion 53 are flat, and the retaining portion 51 is substantially perpendicular to the locking portion 53. The retaining portion 51 defines a plurality of retaining holes 511, corresponding to the fixing holes 331 of the positioning member 33. The locking portion 53 defines a through hole 531 and includes two resiliently deformable locking tabs 533 configured to be received in two locking holes 171 of the second support 17.

Referring to
The locking flanges 731 of two first latch components 73 pass through two locking holes 171 of the two second supports 17 due to resilient deformation of the securing pieces 730. Edges of the locking holes 171 are received in the grooves 735, and the locking flanges 731 abut the second supports 17.
The two retaining members 50 of the electronic device 30 are received in the rack 10. The positioning portions 332 of the positioning members 33 are received in the cutouts 153 of the first supports 15, and the two locking tabs 533 of each retaining member 50 are received in two locking holes 171 of each second support 17 positioned at two sides of one locking hole 171 receiving the first latch component 73. The threaded holes 733 of the first latch components 73 align with the through holes 531 of the retaining members 50. The locking portions 53 abut the second support 17. The second latch components 71 are received in the through holes 531 and the threaded holes 733, to secure the retaining members 50 on the second supports 17 and secure electronic device 30 to the rack 10.
It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages have been set forth in the foregoing description of embodiments, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
