Abstract:
1. A fixture mechanism adapted to secure a computer hardware device onto a base plate, said fixture mechanism comprising: a first limiting member adapted to be secured onto the base plate, and including a first upright wall with top and bottom sides, and a slot provided in said first upright wall, said slot having a transverse segment that is to be disposed generally parallel to the base plate, and an oblique segment extending obliquely upward from one end of said transverse segment to said top side of said first upright wall; a second limiting member adapted to be disposed on the base plate, said second limiting member being movable relative to said first limiting member between a locking position and a released position, and having a wall surface defining a limiting groove which cooperates with said slot; a positioning mechanism for selectively securing said second limiting member at one of the locking position and the released position, said positioning mechanism including a locking pin, a positioning hole provided in said first limiting member, and a locking hole and a release hole provided in said second limiting member, said positioning hole being registrable with said locking hole to permit extension of said locking pin through said positioning hole and said locking hole so as to secure said second limiting member at the locking position, said positioning hole being registrable with said release hole to permit extension of said locking pin through said positioning hole and said release hole so as to secure said second limiting member at the released position; and an interfering member adapted to be disposed on the computer hardware device, said interfering member being extendible through said slot and being slidable along said oblique segment and said transverse segment; said slot being communicated with said limiting groove to permit free sliding movement of said interfering member along said slot when said second limiting member is at the released position; said slot being partly communicated with said limiting groove, and said wall surface which defines said limiting groove abutting against said interfering member and cooperating with said transverse segment of said slot to limit said interfering member when said second limiting member is at the locking position.
