Abstract

A screwless device for attaching and detaching a disk drive comprises a base and a frame body. The base comprises at least a rotation bracket, an elastic location plate, a fixing plate, and protrudent joints. Two first axle holes are located on both sides of the rotation bracket respectively for being inserted by an axle to which a torsion spring is sleeved. A buckle hole is formed on the elastic location plate. The frame body is designed for being attached to the base. The frame body comprises: a mounting chamber for holding the disk drive; an axle-connecting part; and a buckle means mounted on the same side of the frame body as the elastic location plate. Second axle holes and buckle notches are formed on the axle-connecting part. Several open trenches are formed in opposition to the protrudent joints.
