Abstract

An electronic device bracket including a first supporting member, a second supporting member, and at least one pivoting member is provided. The second supporting member is disposed beside the first supporting member. The at least one pivoting member is disposed at a side of the first and the second supporting members, and two ends of the at least one pivoting member are pivoted to the first and the second supporting members. Here the first supporting member is adapted to move between a first position and a second position relative to the second supporting member, so as to adjust a length of the electronic device bracket.

Claims

1. An electronic device bracket, comprising:

a first supporting member, wherein the first supporting member comprises a first bottom plate and two first side plates, the first bottom plate comprises a first recess and a second recess located at two opposing sides, the two first side plates are connected to a portion of the first bottom plate other than the first recess and the second recess at the two opposing sides;

a second supporting member disposed beside the first supporting member, wherein the second supporting member comprises a second bottom plate, the first bottom plate and the second bottom plate are located on a same plane, the second bottom plate comprises a first portion having a shape corresponding to a first portion of the first recess, a second portion separate from the first portion, a distance between the first portion and the second portion is greater than a narrowest width of the first bottom plate, two second side plates respectively connected to the first portion and the second portion, and when the first supporting member is at a first position or a second position relative to the second supporting member, one of the first side plates and one of the second side plates are on a same plane, and the other first side plate and the other second side plate are located on a same plane;

wherein each of the first side plates comprises one first fixing portion, each of the second side plates comprises two second fixing portions, and when the first supporting member is at the first position relative to the second supporting member, a distance between the first fixing portion and one of the second fixing portions located on the same surface is equal to a distance between the first fixing portion and the other of the second fixing portions when the first supporting member is at the second position relative to the second supporting member, and the electronic device bracket is adapted for supporting an electronic device through the first and the second fixing portions; and

each of at least one pivoting member disposed at a side of each of the first and the second supporting members, and two ends of the pivoting member are respectively pivoted to the first and the second supporting members, wherein the first supporting member is adapted to move between a first position and a second position relative to the second supporting member, so as to adjust a length of the electronic device bracket.

8. The electronic device bracket of claim 1, wherein at least one pivoting member comprises three pivoting members arranged in parallel, the second of the three pivoting member is disposed on a side of the first bottom plate and the second bottom plate, and the first and the third of the three pivoting members located at two sides of the second of the three pivoting member are disposed on the other side of the first bottom plate and the second bottom plate.

9. The electronic device bracket of claim 1, wherein the first bottom plate comprises a first contact surface, the second bottom plate comprises a second contact surface facing the first contact surface, and when the first supporting member is located at the first position or the second position relative to the second supporting member, the first contact surface is in contact with the second contact surface.

10. The electronic device bracket of claim 1, wherein the electronic device bracket is a hard drive bracket, a CD-ROM bracket, an operation panel bracket, or an expansion card socket bracket.
