Claims

1. A wire holder for fixing a wire on a plate of an electronic device, the wire holder comprising: a pair of resilient latches formed on the plate, and each of the latches comprising a latching portion for hooking the wire; andan elastic member formed between the pair of latches.

2. The wire holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the latches comprises a main body, and the latching portion is formed on a top portion of the main body.

3. The wire holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the latching portions of the pair of latches are formed toward each other.

4. The wire holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein an aperture is defined in the plate under the elastic member.

5. The wire holder as claimed in claim 4, wherein the elastic member comprises a tilted elastic arm connected to the plate adjacent an end of the aperture, and a resisting portion extended from a free end of the elastic arm.

6. The wire holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the elastic member comprises a tilted elastic arm and a resisting portion extended from a free end of the elastic arm.

7. The wire holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pair of latches cooperates to form a guiding slot for receiving the wire.

8. A wire holder on a plate, comprising: a plurality of resilient latches formed on the plate, the latches cooperatively defining a guiding slot therebetween for holding one or more wires; andat least one elastic member formed on the plate, and extending into the guiding slot.

9. The wire holder as claimed in claim 8, wherein each of the latches comprises a main body and a latching portion formed on a top portion of the main body.

10. The wire holder as claimed in claim 9, wherein the latching portions of the latches are formed toward the guiding slot.

11. The wire holder as claimed in claim 8, wherein at least one aperture is defined in the plate under the at least one elastic member.

12. The wire holder as claimed in claim 11, wherein the elastic member comprises a tilted elastic arm connected to the plate adjacent an end of the aperture, and a resisting portion extended from a free end of the elastic arm.

13. The wire holder as claimed in claim 8, wherein the elastic member comprises a tilted elastic arm and a resisting portion extended from a free end of the elastic arm.
