Description


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] I. Field of the Invention


[0002] This invention relates generally to a sideboard of a computer enclosure and, more specifically, to a sideboard of a computer enclosure that has a frame with several fasteners and inlaid plates on one side, an open window is on the frame, a transparent plate is installed on one side of the open window, users or repair technicians can see the internal devices from outside directly.


[0003] II. Description of the Prior Art


[0004] Heretofore, it is known that personal computers are very popular, many of peripheral devices and add-on cards with different functions are also available; therefore to increase or replace peripheral devices is very common for a personal computer. However to a none expert PC end user, he or she might not understand PC or know what is inside the PC. Once there is any problem with the PC, a professional or expert is needed to repair or fix; however the professional might not realize what is the problem right away, most of them would open the PC enclosure first to see the internal devices and part numbers, then check weather those devices function properly or not, or any strange sound in particular location. While opening the computer case, the screws and parts have to be placed in front of the computer desk that has limited space, this condition might causes tedious or even mistaken actions.



SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0005] It is therefore a primary object of the invention to provide a sideboard of a computer enclosure comprising a frame with fasteners and inlaid plates on the edges of four sides to insert the fame firmly to a computer enclosure; an open window in proper size is on the frame, users can see the internal device condition clearly through the transparent plate for repairing and recording first to take or purchase the replacement, or move the computer to a proper location to disassemble, repair or replace and take care of the problem once disassemble not to disassemble and assemble the computer in the limited space repeatedly.


[0006] It is another objective of this invention to provide a sideboard of a computer enclosure to have a shielding plate fixed on the inner side of the frame by several sealers on the transparent plate; in certain circumstances, the shielding plate can hide the internal devices for security purpose.







BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0007] The accomplishment of the above-mentioned object of the present invention will become apparent from the following description and its accompanying drawings which disclose illustrative an embodiment of the present invention, and are as follows:

[0009]
FIG. 2 is an assembling view of the present invention;


[0010]
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the present invention;


[0011]
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the present invention;


[0012]
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention.







DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0013] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the present invention is composed of a frame (10) with fastener (11) and inlaid plate (12) on the edges of four sides to insert the fame (10) firmly to a computer enclosure (60); an open window (13) in proper size is on the frame (10).


[0014] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, a transparent plate (20) with sculpture on sides for beauty purpose is fixed on the frame (10) with several compressing strip (30); the compressing strip (30) is in long rectangular shape and the cross section is in “Z” shape; one side of the compressing strip (30) is fixed with screw (70), the other side forms a holding slot (31) to hold the transparent plate (20) between the open window (13) of the frame (10) and the compressing strip (30), the transparent plate (20) is fixed firmly on the inner side of the open window (13) of the frame (10), referring to FIG. 5, users can see the internal device condition clearly through the transparent plate (20) for repairing and recording.


[0015] Another application of the present invention, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, a shielding plate (50) is fixed on the inner side of the frame (10) by several sealer (40); the sealer (40) is in strip shape and forms a curved fastener (41) in the center area, the curved fastener (41) is in “Ω” shape. One side of the sealer (40) is fixed firmly with a screw (70), the curved fastener (41) spans over the transparent plate (20), the other end of the sealer (40) covers the shielding plate (50) firmly to hide the internal devices for security purpose.


[0016] Based on above description, while repairing a computer, users can see the internal devices through the transparent plate (20) directly to make sure where the problem is or to record down the part specification first. A shielding plate (50) can also apply to cover the internal devices of a computer.


[0017] While a preferred embodiment of the invention has been shown and described in detail, it will be readily understood and appreciated that numerous omissions, changes and additions may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
