First Claim
1. An expansion card fastening device, comprising:
- a bracket comprising a plurality of parallel arranged fences;
a first fastener assembled on one of the fences, and comprising a connecting portion, a supporting portion, and an elastic element, wherein the supporting portion and the elastic element are positioned on an end of the connection portion;
a first clasp protrudes from the supporting portion and faces the same direction with a free end of the elastic element; and
a second fastener pivoting to the supporting portion, and resisted by the elastic element, wherein a second clasp protrudes from the second fastener and faces the same direction with the first clasp;
wherein each of the fences defines two access ports thereon;
the connecting portion comprises two side walls and rear wall interconnected with the side walls;
two hooks extend out from an outer surface of the rear wall and are clasped in the access ports; and
wherein each of the side walls extends out a wing plate;
the wing plate comprises a connecting plate connected to the side wall and a reinforce plate connected to the connecting plate;
the reinforce plate is thinner than the connecting plate, whereby a limiting step is formed at the joint of the reinforce plate and the connecting plate;

Abstract
An expansion card fastening device includes a bracket, a first fastener, and a second fastener. The bracket includes parallel arranged fences. The first fastener is assembled on one of the fences, and includes a connecting portion, a supporting portion, and an elastic element. The supporting portion and the elastic element are both disposed on an end of the connection portion. A first clasp protrudes from the supporting portion, and faces the same direction with a free end of the elastic element. A second fastener pivots to the supporting portion, and is resisted by the elastic element. A second clasp protrudes from the second fastener, and faces the same direction with the first clasp.
