Benefits of technology

[0013]In addition, to make the tray slide smoothly, one surface of the fixed bracket parallel to the sliding direction of the tray has at least one long opening. The tray has a protrudent pole corresponding to the long opening. Thus, when the tray slides in the containing part, each protrudent pole passes through the corresponding long opening and slides along the long opening to successfully guide the tray in sliding.
[0014]To sum up, the mobile rack of the invention can facilitate extracting or inserting the object on the tray without the dragging element or the locking device. The structure is simply, and it is convenient for users to operate the mobile rack.

Problems solved by technology

However, according to the above design, a certain space on the machine has to be occupied, and two hands of the user are needed to extract the extractable disk drive.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]The invention provides a mobile rack. FIG. 1 is an exploded diagram of a mobile rack according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. FIG. 2 is a reference diagram showing the operation of extracting a tray 20 from a fixed bracket 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. A mobile rack 1 applied to a machine (such as a desktop computer, a notebook computer, or a server and so on) includes a fixed bracket 10, a tray 20, a movable element 30, and a guiding groove 40. The fixed bracket 10 is fixed to the machine and has a containing part 11 for containing the tray 20. The tray 20 is used for carrying an object 21 and, more particularly, for carrying a disk unit (such as an optical disk drive or a hard disk drive). The tray 20 can be slidingly extracted from the containing part 11 to help a user extract the disk unit, or it can be slidingly inserted into the containing part 11 to help the user insert the disk unit. At least one elastic element 50 (such as a ten...

Abstract

A mobile rack includes a fixed bracket, a tray, a movable element, and a guiding groove. The tray is capable of being slidingly extracted from or inserted into the fixed bracket, and an elastic element is disposed between the fixed bracket and the tray. In one embodiment, one end of the movable element is disposed at an inner side of the fixed bracket, and the other end has a protrusion. The guiding groove is disposed at an outer side of the tray facing to the protrusion and has a protrudent unit and a track surrounding the protrudent unit. The protrudent unit has a first guiding portion and a stopping portion. The protrusion is inserted into the track.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to Taiwan Application Serial Number 97121582, filed Jun. 10, 2008, which is herein incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The invention relates to a mobile rack and, more particularly, to a mobile rack facilitating extracting or inserting thereof.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]With the development of portable disk drives, to exchange the needed data quickly, many users only need take an extractable disk drive and install the extractable disk drive on a machine.[0006]Conventionally, machines mostly adopt locking devices in cooperation with extractable disk drives. To extract an extractable disk drive from the machine, one hand of a user presses a releasing button of the locking device to release the extractable disk drive, and the other hand extracts the extractable disk drive. However, according to the above design, a certain space on the machine has to be occu...
