ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to a device for fixing the heat dissipation fan of a computer, and more particularly relates to a fixing device for a fan of a computer in which the fan can be easily and quickly fixed to the case of computer.
2. Related Art
As the fast development of computer technology, functions of computers are being improved, while the size thereof are decreased. A plenty of devices, such as data storage devices of magnetic or optical disk drivers, and at least a heat dissipation fan, have to be incorporated into a small space. The fan is rather important since a great amount of heat will be generated by the computer hardwares under high speed operation. The conventional manner for installing a fan is to use a plurality of screws. A lot of screws used for installations of the fan and other devices cost much time and money. The small pieces of screws are also easy to lose and inconvenient to use.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In order to solve the aforesaid problem, the present invention provides a device for fixing heat dissipation fan of a computer. The fixing device for fan of computer uses only a screw to fast fix the fan on the computer case, and saves assembly time.
To achieve the aforesaid object, a device for fixing a heat dissipation fan of computer according to the present invention mainly includes a bracket formed with a plurality of through holes for mounting the fan. The bracket includes two ears to be inserted into two holes furnished on the computer case to make the bracket pivotal on the ears while the ears are inserted in the holes. A hole is formed on a side of the bracket opposite to the ears for fastening the bracket by a screw passing through and fixing to the computer case.
Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
