ABSTRACT:
An insertion device for the hard disk drive of a portable computer is fixedly disposed in a base of the portable computer and includes hinged-together upper and lower covers for receiving the hard disk drive. The insertion device is secured to the base by adhesion to facilitate the procedure for assembling the insertion device to the base. The hard disk drive is inserted into the insertion device and the covers closed to secure the hard disk drive in the base. The hard disk drive can easily be taken out by pivoting the upper cover away from the lower cover and using a pulling member to remove the hard disk drive from the insertion member. The insertion device, which may be made of a relatively soft material, effectively minimizes shock forces and protects the hard disk drive from being damaged.
