Claims
1. A mounting apparatus for mounting a wireless communication module to a computer component, the wireless communication module comprising two flanges, the mounting apparatus comprising a bottom plate, two side plates, and two locking blocks inwardly formed on the two side plates respectively, to engage with the flanges of the wireless communication module, the mounting apparatus being attached on the computer component.
2. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mounting apparatus is made of plastic so as to flexibly engagingly receive the wireless communication module.
3. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the bottom plate of the mounting apparatus is coated with adhesive.
4. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein another two side plates together with the two side plates extend up from four edges of the bottom plate of the mounting apparatus to cooperatively define a receiving space therebetween, the wireless communication module detachably received within the receiving space.
5. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the locking blocks is wedge-shaped, with a top surface thereof being a slanting surface.
6. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein one of the at least two side plates defines a cutout therein for extension of a flexible cable of the wireless communication module therethrough.
7. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wireless communication module comprises a blue tooth module, and the computer component comprises a motherboard.
8. A wireless communication module mounting apparatus arranged on a computer component, the mounting apparatus being made of flexible plastic and defining a receiving space engagingly receiving a wireless communication module therein.
9. The wireless communication module mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 8, wherein the computer component comprises a motherboard, the mounting apparatus is attached to any suitable place of the motherboard via an adhesive.
10. The wireless communication module mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 9, wherein the adhesive comprises a glue with a removable protective paper thereon.
11. The wireless communication module mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 8, wherein the wireless communication module comprises a blue tooth module having two flanges at opposite ends thereof.
12. The wireless communication module mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 11, comprising a bottom plate and a plurality of side plates extending up from the bottom plate, wherein a locking block is formed inward on each of two of the side plates to engage with the flanges of the blue tooth module.
13. The wireless communication module mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 12, wherein a connector interface is formed on one of the flanges, one of the side plates of the mounting apparatus defines a cutout therein corresponding to the connector interface.
14. A mounting apparatus mounting a wireless communication module to a motherboard, the wireless communication module comprising two flanges, the mounting apparatus comprising a bottom plate, a plurality of side plates extending from the bottom plate and cooperating with the bottom plate to form a space configured for receiving the wireless communication module therein, and two locking blocks inwardly extending from the side plates, wherein the wireless communication module is capable of sliding over the locking blocks to cause the flanges thereof to snapply engage with the locking blocks to thereby hold the wireless communication module in the space, and the mounting apparatus is detachably attached on the motherboard via an adhesive.
15. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 14, wherein the mounting apparatus is deformable to allow the locking blocks to disengage from the flanges of the wireless communication module.
16. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 14, wherein the wireless communication module comprises a connector interface, and one of the side plates of the mounting apparatus defines a cutout configured for exposing the connector interface to outside of the mounting apparatus.
