ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a mother board tray assembly, and particularly to a mother board tray assembly incorporating a fastener for readily fixing a mother board tray thereto.
2. The Related Art
A computer enclosure generally includes a box and a mother board tray incorporated to a side wall of the box for mounting a mother board thereon. A conventional mother board tray is fixed to the box before a mother board is attached thereto. The box complicates the operation of mounting the mother board to the tray fixed in the box. This requires a large amount of space inside the box for mounting the mother board to the tray, thus increasing the size of the computer enclosure.
To solve the problem mentioned above, a mother board tray is attached to a box after a mother board is mounted thereon, as disclosed in Taiwan Patent Application Nos. 84201628 and 84214655. However, the structure of the mother board tray is complicated and uneasily manufactured, and attaching the mother board tray to the box is complicated.
Thus, it is desired to have a mother board tray assembly which facilitates mounting a mother board thereon for readily attaching to a box.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a mother board tray assembly for facilitating mounting a mother board thereon.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a mother board tray assembly for readily attached to a box.
To fulfill the objects mentioned above, a mother board tray assembly in accordance with the present invention comprises a base, a fastener movably attached to the base and a mother board tray fixed to the base. The base is adapted for attaching to a box and defines a pair of first wide slots. The fastener has a pair of latches for extending through the first wide slots of the base. The mother board tray engages with the latches of the fastener and is adapted for mounting of a mother board thereon.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be understood from the following description of a preferred embodiment according to attached drawings of the present invention.
