ABSTRACT:
A computer cover structure is removably slid over an associated computer chassis to place facing end walls of the cover and chassis in a contiguous, parallel relationship, the end walls are automatically aligned with one another, in two perpendicular directions parallel to their facing side surfaces, by a plurality of outwardly projecting lance strips associated with the cover structure end wall and received by corresponding elongated, generally diamond-shaped openings formed in the chassis end wall. The wall openings are longer and wider than the outwardly projecting longitudinally intermediate portions of the lance strips, and have oppositely sloped facing side edges. Initially, the longitudinally intermediate lance strip portions freely enter their associated chassis wall openings. As the lance strips pass through the openings, though, the openings close in on and engage the opposite ends of the received lance strip in a manner shifting the cover end wall as necessary relative to the chassis end wall, in two perpendicular directions, to achieve the desired precise alignment between the cover and chassis end walls.
