Benefits of technology
The present invention provides a detachable device case and top cover mounting structure with a spring plate system that allows the user to conveniently unlock the top cover from the case by pressing the spring plates. The structure also has means to guide the top cover automatically into the locking position. The engagement structures of the case and the retaining portions of the spring plates are groove means and retaining flanges that force the retaining portions of the spring plates into engagement with the groove means. The stop portions of the groove means prevent the retaining portions of the spring plates from moving further, ensuring that the top cover is securely locked to the case. The technical effects of the invention include convenient unlocking of the top cover, automatic guidance of the top cover, and secure locking of the case.
Problems solved by technology
However, it is inconvenient to remove the screws when wishing to open the top cover from the case.
However, because the fulcrum of the spring plate is affixed to the top cover and the user must give force to the spring plate from two sides in transverse direction, it is difficult to deform the spring plate.
This design of sliding guide member increases the number of parts of the top cover and, complicates the manufacturing and installation of the top cover.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a detachable device case and top cover mounting structure and, more particularly to a detachable device case and top cover mounting structure for computer, which enables the top cover of the computer to be detachably fastened to the case of the computer. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] A computer generally comprises a case adapted to accommodate different computer parts, and a top cover covering the case. According to early designs, the top cover is affixed to the case with screws. However, it is inconvenient to remove the screws when wishing to open the top cover from the case. In order to eliminate this drawback, coupling structures are designed for enabling the top cover to be conveniently detached from the case. A coupling structure for this purpose is known comprises an engagement mechanism provided at the top cover, and a retaining device provided at the case and ad...
