Abstract:
1. A computer housing adapted for fastening a peripheral device thereto, the peripheral device being formed with a fastening hole, said computer housing comprising: a frame body formed with a pivot member, an anchoring member, and a through hole unit disposed between and spaced apart from said pivot member and said anchoring member in a first direction; an engaging block having a first side that faces said frame body and that is formed with an engaging post extending through said through hole unit and adapted to extend into the fastening hole in the peripheral device, and a second side opposite to said first side in a second direction transverse to the first direction; and a pressing member disposed on said second side of said engaging block and having a pivot end portion connected pivotally to said pivot member on said frame body, an operable anchoring end portion opposite to said pivot end portion, and an interconnecting pressing portion interconnecting said pivot end portion and said anchoring end portion; said pressing member being pivotable relative to said pivot member on said frame body so as to move from a releasing position, where said anchoring end portion disengages said anchoring member on said frame body and where said interconnecting pressing portion is spaced apart from said second side of said engaging block, to an anchoring position, where said anchoring end portion engages said anchoring member on said frame body and where said pivot end portion and said interconnecting pressing portion abut against said second side of said engaging block such that said engaging block is fastened securely to said frame body so as to maintain engagement between said engaging post and the fastening hole in the peripheral device; wherein said pressing member is a bent rod body that includes a first section extending in a third direction transverse to the first and second directions and serving as said pivot end portion, a second section connected to said first section and extending in the first direction, a third section connected to said second section and parallel to said first section, a fourth section connected to said third section, parallel to said second section and cooperating with said second and third sections to define said interconnecting pressing portion, and a fifth section connected to and extending from said fourth section and serving as said anchoring end portion; and wherein said second side of said engaging block is formed with a plurality of engaging grooves spaced apart from each other, each of said first, third and fourth sections of said rod body engaging a corresponding one of said engaging grooves when said pressing member is in the anchoring position.
