Abstract

A bus-line partition plate mounted in a case of a computer and defining with one side panel of the case a bus-line receiving space for receiving bus-lines, for example, bus-lines of computer apparatus and/or power cords in good order without the use of binding wires or adhesive tapes, preventing interference of bus-lines with other internal apparatus of the computer or damage of bus-lines by other internal apparatus of the computer.

Claims

1. A bus-line partition plate mounted inside a computer, said computer comprising a case, said case comprising a side panel and a plurality of L-shaped hooks respectively inwardly protruded from a top side of said side panel;

wherein, said bus-line partition plate has a top side curved in one direction to form an angle and a flange, and a plurality of retaining holes spaced along said angle respectively corresponding to and relatively greater than said L-shaped hooks, such that when the retaining holes of said bus-line partition plate respectively sleeved onto the L-shaped hooks of said side panel and moved sideways to force said retaining holes respectively into engagement with said L-shaped hooks, a bus-line receiving space is defined between said bus-line partition plate and said side panel for receiving bus-line of said computer.

2. The bus-line partition plate as claimed in claim 1, wherein said side panel of said case of said computer comprises a substantially U-shaped flange curved inwardly downwards from the top side thereof, and said L-shaped hooks are respectively protruded downwardly from a bottom side of said U-shaped flange.

3. The bus-line partition plate as claimed in claim 1, wherein said computer further comprises a circuit board horizontally mounted on a bottom panel of said case, and said bus-line partition plate has a bottom edge stopped at a top side of said circuit board.

4. The bus-line partition plate as claimed in claim 1, wherein said bus-line partition plate is made from plastics.

5. The bus-line partition plate as claimed in claim 1, wherein said bus-line partition plate has at least one opening in a bottom edge thereof.
