Abstract

A general computer host mounting shelf engages a bottom deflecting bar of a set of bottom fixing bars into a lower engagement bar of an engagement socket and engage a side deflecting bar of a set of side fixing bars into an upper engagement bar of an engagement socket. The other ends of the bottom deflecting bar and the side deflecting bar are connected to a bottom connecting bar and a side connecting bar, respectively, to further combine a placing space. Further, a locating button is set at one end of the bottom deflecting bar, and at least one locating hole is set on the lower engagement bar corresponding to a position of the locating button such that when the set of bottom fixing bars slide corresponding to the engagement socket, an object of localization can be achieved by engaging the locating button and the locating hole. Therefore, when the users are operating, under the circumstances without using any tools, the size of the placing space can be adjusted quickly, and provided an object of stably carrying various computer hosts.

Claims

1. A general computer host mounting shelf, comprising:

a set of bottom fixing bars comprising at least one bottom deflecting bar, a locating button set at an end of said bottom deflecting bar, and a bottom connecting bar traversing to connect to the other end of said bottom deflecting bar;

a set of side fixing bars comprising at least one side deflecting bar, a side connecting bar traversing to connect to an end of said side deflecting bar; and

an engagement socket comprising a substrate thereon at least one hollow upper engagement bar and at least one hollow lower engagement bar set;

wherein said side deflecting bar and said upper engagement bar can be engaged with each other, and at least one locating hole is chiseled at a position on said lower engagement bar corresponding to the locating button, such that when said bottom deflecting bar and said lower engagement bar are engaged with each other, an object of localization can be achieved by engaging said locating button and said locating hole.

2. The general computer host mounting shelf according to claim 1, wherein a bottom of said locating button is connected to a flange and an elastic object such that when said locating button passes through a penetration hole at said bottom deflecting bar, said flange can lock said penetration hole.

3. The general computer host mounting shelf according to claim 1, wherein a locking hole is set at one end of said upper engagement bar, and when said side deflecting bar and said upper engagement bar are engaged with each other, a locking element can be used to lock into said locking hole.

4. The general computer host mounting shelf according to claim 1 further comprising a sliding socket and a rail socket, a sliding rail set at a side of said rail socket, a sliding flange set at a side of said sliding socket to accommodate with said sliding rail such that said sliding socket and said rail socket can be sliding to shift correspondingly.

5. The general computer host mounting shelf according to claim 4, wherein a sliding socket hole is chiseled on said sliding socket, a substrate hole is chiseled at said substrate of said engagement socket, and a pivot joint element is used to pass through said sliding socket hole and said substrate hole such that said sliding socket and said substrate can rotate correspondingly.

6. The general computer host mounting shelf according to claim 1 further comprising a non-slip pad, selectively set at one of said side connecting bar, said bottom deflecting bar, said bottom connecting bar, and a combination thereof.

7. The general computer host mounting shelf according to claim 1, wherein said side deflecting bar and said side connecting bar are integrally formed as an unity, said upper engagement bar and said lower engagement bar are integrally formed as an unity, and said bottom deflecting bar and said bottom connecting bar are integrally formed as an unity.

8. The general computer host mounting shelf according to claim 1, wherein a locating hook replaces of said locating button, set at one end of said bottom deflecting bar, at least one bar socket chiseling on said lower engagement bar corresponding to a position of said locating hook, and a side open socket replacing said locating hole set on said bar socket.

9. The general computer host mounting shelf according to claim 8, wherein a locating socket is set at one end of said side open socket.
