Abstract:
1. A fixing apparatus for storing an electronic device, comprising: a board forming a plurality of engaging portions and a post all extending up from the board; a casing comprising a bottom wall defining a plurality of engaging holes, corresponding to the engaging portions, and an end wall extending in a substantially perpendicular manner from the bottom wall; each engaging hole comprising a first hole and a corresponding second hole communicating with the first hole; wherein the size of the first hole is greater than the size of the second hole; and a fixing member pivotably mounted to the end wall, the fixing member comprising a locking portion and a release portion facing to each other, the locking portion forming a first sliding portion facing to the release portion, a protrusion extending from a first end of the fixing member, the release portion forming a second sliding portion facing to the first sliding portion, wherein an inner surface of the first sliding portion is slanted toward the release portion from a second end of the first sliding portion opposite to the protrusion to the protrusion, an inner surface of the second sliding portion is slanted toward the first sliding portion from a first end of the second sliding portion corresponding to the protrusion to a second end of the second sliding portion opposite to the first end; wherein when mounting the casing to the board, the engaging portions extend into the first holes of the corresponding engaging holes, the fixing member is pivoted to drive the first sliding portion to slide along the post, the slanted inner surface of the first sliding portion slidably resists abutting the post to move the casing away from the post, until the engaging portions engage in the corresponding second holes, and the protrusion resists against the post; when disassembling the casing from the board, the fixing member is pivoted to drive the second sliding portion to slide along the post, the slanted inner surface of the second sliding portion slidably abutting the post to move the casing toward the post, until the engaging portions enter the corresponding first holes.
