Abstract:
A positioning unit for a computer housing-and-peripheral device assembly that includes a computer housing and a peripheral device, the peripheral device including a casing with two opposite side walls, the computer housing having two opposite side walls that are formed with a pair of guiding grooves for receiving the side walls of the casing, said positioning unit comprising:a pair of positioning members, each of which is adapted to be disposed between a respective one of the side walls of the casing and a respective one of the side walls of the computer housing, and each of which includes a thin plate that is stamped to form a peripheral wall with an inner face confining a frame space, and a pair of opposing bent spring arms which extend oppositely from said inner face into said frame space, each of said bent spring arms having a first section that is adapted to extend toward the respective one of the side walls of the casing, and a second section that bends from said first section to form an apex therebetween and that is adapted to extend toward the respective one of the side walls of the computer housing so as to permit elastic abutment of said apex against the respective one of the side walls of the casing and elastic abutment of said second section against the respective one of the side walls of the computer housing when the casing is mounted in the computer housing, thereby limiting sidewise movement of the casing in the computer housing.
