ABSTRACT:
A bracket for securing a computer drive within a housing. The housing has a housing base, and two housing walls each disposed perpendicularly to the housing base and to each other. The bracket comprises a base for supporting the computer drive. The base has a first base aperture for slidably securing the bracket within the housing and for preventing movement of the bracket in a first degree of freedom. The bracket also comprises a first support means, which is perpendicularly coupled to the base, for engaging the first housing wall and for preventing movement of the bracket in a second degree of freedom. Perpendicularly coupled to the base is a first means for engaging the second housing wall and for preventing movement of the bracket in a third degree of freedom. The bracket further comprises a second support means which is perpendicularly coupled to said base. The second support means has an interior surface facing an interior surface of the first support means. Additionally, the second support means has a flange where the first means are located. The bracket also includes two cover portions. A substantially flat first cover is perpendicularly coupled to the first support means and is substantially parallel to the base. A substantially flat second cover is perpendicularly coupled to the second support and planar with the first cover. The first cover, second cover, first support means, second support means and base enclose the computer drive and secure the computer drive to the housing. The bracket is configured to enable a second bracket to securely mount the bracket. Base tabs from a second bracket slidably enter openings in the covers of the bracket to securely mount the second bracket on the bracket.
