Abstract

A bracket is provided for fixing an electronic device therein. The bracket includes a main frame and a fixing member. The main frame has a connecting portion and two sideboards. The two sideboards are disposed to two ends of the connecting portion respectively and the two sideboards are disposed in parallel. A distance is kept between the two sideboards to accommodate the electronic device therein, and one of the two sideboards has a plurality of assembling holes. The fixing member is detachably mounted to the sideboard having the assembling holes. A plurality of connecting members are disposed to one side of the fixing member, for passing through the assembling holes respectively and being fixed on the electronic device, so as to fix the electronic device between the two sideboards.

Claims

1. A bracket for fixing an electronic device therein, the bracket comprising:

a body, having a connecting portion and two sideboards, wherein the two sideboards are respectively disposed at two ends of the connecting portion and in parallel with each other, a distance is kept between the two sideboards for accommodating the electronic device between the two sideboards, and one of the two sideboards has a plurality of assembling holes; and

a fixing member, detachably mounted to the sideboard having the assembling holes, wherein a plurality of connecting members is disposed at one side of the fixing member for passing through the assembling holes respectively and being fixed on the electronic device to fix the electronic device;

wherein a rabbet is formed at an outer side surface of the sideboard having the assembling holes, for the fixing member to be stacked therein, and

wherein a front edge portion of the fixing member is pivoted to the sideboard, a shaft is disposed at the front edge portion of the fixing member, a pivot hole is formed in the rabbet, and the shaft is inserted into the pivot hole to pivot the fixing member to the sideboard.

2. The bracket according to claim 1, wherein each of the assembling holes comprises an elastic ring embedded in the sideboard and surrounding each of the assembling holes.

3. The bracket as claimed in claim 2, wherein each elastic ring has a H-shaped sectional structure along a radial direction, a part of each elastic ring is located within the corresponding assembling hole and surrounds the assembling hole, and the remaining part of the elastic ring is located at two sides of the sideboard respectively.

4. The bracket as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

a torsion spring, sleeved on the shaft, wherein two ends of the torsion spring are connected to the fixing member and the sideboard respectively to generate an elastic force to have the fixing member be stacked on the sideboard.

5. The bracket as claimed in claim 1, wherein a sink area is formed at one end of the rabbet, one end of the fixing member has a pressing end stacked over the sink area, and the pressing end enters the sink area with rotation of the fixing member.

6. The bracket as claimed in claim 5, further comprising:

a compression spring, disposed in the sink area, wherein two ends of the spring are connected to the pressing end of the fixing member and the sideboard respectively, and the compression spring is compressed to generate an elastic force to push the pressing end outwards to have the fixing member be stacked on the sideboard.

7. The bracket as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

an elastic element, wherein one end of the elastic element is connected to the fixing member, and the other end of the elastic member is connected to the sideboard to generate an elastic force for having the fixing member be stacked on the sideboard.

8. The bracket as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

a plurality of securing members disposed at the sideboard equipped without assembling holes, and used for being secured on the electronic device.

9. A bracket for fixing an electronic device therein, the bracket comprising:

a main frame, having a connecting portion and a sideboard, wherein the sideboard is disposed at one end of the connecting portion; and

a fixing member, detachably mounted to the sideboard, a front edge of the fixing member is pivoted to the sideboard, wherein a plurality of connecting members is disposed at one side of the fixing member for fixing the electronic device

wherein a rabbet is formed at an outer side surface of the sideboard having the assembling holes, for the fixing member to be stacked therein, and

wherein, a shaft is disposed at the front edge portion of the fixing member, a pivot hole is formed in the rabbet, and the shaft is inserted into the pivot hole to pivot the fixing member to the sideboard.

10. The bracket as claimed in claim 9, further comprising:

a torsion spring, sleeved on the shaft, wherein two ends of the torsion spring are connected to the fixing member and the connecting portion respectively to generate an elastic force to have the fixing member swing towards the sideboard.

11. The bracket as claimed in claim 9, further comprising:

a compression spring, wherein two ends of the compression spring are connected to the fixing member and the connecting portion respectively, and the compression spring is compressed to generate an elastic force to push the fixing member outwards to have the fixing member swings towards the sideboard.

12. The bracket as claimed in claim 9, further comprising:

a plurality of securing members disposed at the sideboard, and used for being secured on the electronic device.

13. A bracket for fixing an electronic device therein, the bracket comprising:

a body, having a connecting portion and two sideboards, wherein the two sideboards are respectively disposed at two ends of the connecting portion and in parallel with each other, a distance is kept between the two sideboards for accommodating the electronic device between the two sideboards, and one of the two sideboards has a plurality of assembling holes; and

a fixing member, detachably mounted to the sideboard having the assembling holes, wherein a plurality of connecting members is disposed at one side of the fixing member for passing through the assembling holes respectively and being fixed on the electronic device to fix the electronic device;

wherein a rabbet is formed at an outer side surface of the sideboard having the assembling holes, for the fixing member to be stacked therein;

a sink area is formed at one end of the rabbet, one end of the fixing member has a pressing end stacked over the sink area, and the pressing end enters the sink area with rotation of the fixing member;

a compression spring is disposed in the sink area, wherein two ends of the spring are connected to the pressing end of the fixing member and the sideboard respectively, and the compression spring is compressed to generate an elastic force to push the pressing end outwards to have the fixing member be stacked on the sideboard.

14. The bracket according to claim 13, wherein each of the assembling holes comprises an elastic ring embedded in the sideboard and surrounding each of the assembling holes.

15. The bracket as claimed in claim 14, wherein each elastic ring has a H-shaped sectional structure along a radial direction, a part of each elastic ring is located within the corresponding assembling hole and surrounds the assembling hole, and the remaining part of the elastic ring is located at two sides of the sideboard respectively.

16. The bracket as claimed in claim 13, further comprising:

a plurality of securing members disposed at the sideboard equipped without assembling holes, and used for being secured on the electronic device.
