Abstract

An enclosure assembly includes a base, and a bracket. The base includes two side plates parallel to each other and two installation boards. Each of the two installation boards is attached to each of the two side plates and defining a pivot hole and a rotating slot. The bracket is configured to receive a plurality of data storage devices and includes a pivot post and a rotating post corresponding to each installation board. The pivot post is pivotably engaged in the pivot hole. The rotating post is engaged in the rotating slot and is rotatable about the pivot post relative to the base along the rotating slot, so that there is different angle defined between the bracket and the base.

Claims

1. A holding assembly comprising:

a base comprising two side plates parallel to each other and two installation boards, each of the two installation boards being attached to each of the two side plates and defining a pivot hole and a rotating slot; and

a bracket configured to receive a plurality of data storage devices and comprising a pivot post and a rotating post corresponding to each installation board;

wherein the pivot post is pivotably engaged in the pivot hole, the rotating post is engaged in the rotating slot and is rotatable about the pivot post relative to the base along the rotating slot to adjust angle defined between the bracket and the base.

2. The holding assembly of claim 1, wherein a plurality of ribs is located on one sidewall of the rotating slot, and the rotating post is engaged between two adjacent ribs of the plurality of ribs to prevent the bracket from rotating relative to the base.

3. The holding assembly of claim 1, wherein the rotating slot is substantially arc-shaped.

4. The holding assembly of claim 1, wherein the base further comprises a bottom plate, each installation board defines a limiting slot, the bracket further comprises a limiting post, the limiting post is engaged in a bottom portion of the limiting slot, to prevent the bracket from moving towards the bottom plate.

5. The holding assembly of claim 4, wherein the limiting slot defines an extension direction, and an acute angle is defined between the extension direction and the bottom plate.

6. The holding assembly of claim 4, wherein the limiting slot is substantially U-shaped.

7. A holding assembly comprising:

a base comprising a bottom plate, two side plates extending from the bottom plate and two installation boards, each of the two installation boards being attached to each of the two side plates and defining a pivot hole and a rotating slot; and

a bracket configured to receive a plurality of data storage devices and comprising a pivot post and a rotating post corresponding to each installation board, a line extending through the pivot post and the rotating post;

wherein the pivot post is engaged in the pivot hole, the rotating post is rotatably engaged in the rotating slot and the bracket is rotatable about the pivot post relative to the base between a first position and a second position;

in the first position, the line is substantially perpendicular to the bottom plate; and

in the second position, the line is substantially parallel with the bottom plate.

8. The holding assembly of claim 7, wherein a plurality of ribs is located on one sidewall of the rotating slot, and the rotating post is engaged between two adjacent ribs of the plurality of ribs to prevent the bracket from rotating relative to the base.

9. The holding assembly of claim 7, wherein the rotating slot is substantially arc-shaped.

10. The holding assembly of claim 7, wherein each installation board defines a limiting slot, the bracket further comprises a limiting post, the limiting post is engaged in a bottom portion of the limiting slot, to prevent the bracket from moving towards the bottom plate.

11. The holding assembly of claim 10, wherein the limiting slot has an extension direction, and an acute angle is defined between the extension direction and the bottom plate.

12. The holding assembly of claim 10, wherein the limiting slot is substantially U-shaped.

13. A holding assembly comprising:

a base comprising a bottom plate, two side plates extending from the bottom plate, and two installation boards, each of the two installation boards being attached to each of the two side plates and defining a pivot hole and a limiting slot; and

a bracket configured to receive a plurality of data storage devices and comprising a pivot post and a limiting post corresponding to each installation board;

wherein the pivot post is engaged in the pivot hole, and the bracket is rotatable about the pivot posts relative the base between a first position and a second position;

in the first position, the limiting post is engaged in the limiting slot; and

in the second position, the limiting post is disengaged from the limiting slot.

14. The holding assembly of claim 13, wherein the limiting slot defines an extension direction, and an acute angle is defined between the extension direction and the bottom plate.

15. The holding assembly of claim 13, wherein the limiting slot is substantially U-shaped.

16. The holding assembly of claim 13, wherein each installation board further define a rotating slot, the bracket further comprises a rotating post corresponding to the rotating slot, and the rotating post is rotatable along the rotating slot.

17. The holding assembly of claim 16, wherein a plurality of ribs is located on one sidewall of the rotating slot, and the rotating post is engaged between two adjacent ribs of the plurality of ribs to prevent the bracket from rotating relative to the base.

18. The holding assembly of claim 16, wherein the rotating slot is substantially arc-shaped.

19. The holding assembly of claim 16, wherein a line extends through the pivot post and the rotating post;

when the bracket is located in the first position, the line is substantially perpendicular to the bottom plate, and when the bracket is located in the second position, the line is substantially parallel with the bottom plate.
