ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for positioning interface cards in a computer housing includes a seat member and a locking member. The seat member has a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate connected perpendicularly to one another. A plurality of positioning channels are formed on the first mounting plate. Each of the positioning channels has a closed end and an open end. A resilient plate is provided on the second mounting plate by forming two slits in the second mounting plate. A projection is formed on the outside face of the resilient plate. The locking member has a first plate and a second plate perpendicularly connected to one side of the first plate. A U-shaped member is connected to the other side of the first plate and is connected slidably to the resilient plate of the second mounting plate. The locking member is moved along the slits of the second mounting plate between a first position, wherein the second plate faces the open ends of the positioning channels, and a second position, wherein the free edge of the second plate of the locking member is moved to face the outside face of the second mounting plate. The free edge of the base plate is thrust by the projection of the resilient plate in the first position.
