Mounting apparatus for storage device
First Claim
1. A mounting apparatus for a storage device, comprising:
- a bracket for receiving the storage device, the bracket comprising first and second sidewalls, a pair of through holes being defined in the first sidewall;
a slidable member movably attached to the first sidewall of the bracket;
a spring-loaded retention member being movable relative to the slidable member and the first sidewall respectively in different directions, a pair of latches formed on the retention member, the latches being capable of being extended through the through holes respectively for engaging the storage device; and
a shock absorber arranged to an internal surface of the second sidewall for engaging the storage device.

Abstract
A mounting apparatus includes a bracket (20), a slidable member (40), a retention member (50), and a pair of shock absorbers (80). The bracket is for receiving a storage device (10) therein, the bracket including a pair of opposite first and second sidewalls (24, 26), and a pair of through holes (246) is defined in the first sidewall. The slidable member is movably attached to the first sidewall of the bracket. The retention member is spring-loaded, and is movable relative to the slidable member and the first sidewall respectively in different directions. A pair of latches (54) is formed on the retention member, the latches being capable of being extended through the through holes respectively for engaging the storage device. The shock absorber is arranged to an internal surface of the second sidewall for engaging the storage device.

18. An electronic device comprising:
-
a functional device performing a predetermined function for said electronic device, and movable into and out of said electronic device;
a bracket disposed in said electronic device to define a space therein for receiving said functional device when said functional device moves into said electronic device;
a retention member movably attachable to said bracket and capable of securing said functional device in said bracket when said functional device moves into said space; and
at least one shock absorber attachable to said bracket to resiliently engage with said functional device along at least a first direction and a second direction different from said first direction, said at least one shock absorber capable of reducing shock onto said functional device along said first direction by resilient engagement thereof with said functional device, and capable of reducing shock onto said functional device along said second direction by resilient engagement thereof with said functional device incorporating with said retention member. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
