ABSTRACT:
A slidable door apparatus for a socket of a computer includes a movable plate, a slidable door, a resilient assembly, two sliding ribs and two sliding grooves. The computer includes a lower casing and a middle casing. The lower casing has a socket opening formed through a side wall thereof and includes a recess formed in the side wall of the lower casing beside the socket opening. The movable plate is mounted movably between the lower casing and the middle casing. The slidable door is mounted slidably between the lower casing and the middle casing in alignment with the movable plate so as to cover the socket opening. The resilient assembly is interposed between the movable plate and the side wall of the lower casing. The two guiding grooves are respectively formed in the upper portion and the lower portion of the slidable door. The two guiding ribs are respectively projects from the lower casing and upper casing of the computer and are engaged with the two guiding grooves so as to slide the slidable door between a first position, wherein the slidable door closes the socket opening, and a second position, wherein the slidable door removes from the socket opening to cover the movable plate.
