ABSTRACT:
An optical disc drive enclosure (10) includes a first cover (20) and a second cover (30). The first cover has a bottom plate and two first side plates (22). A locating plate (24) extends inwardly from a front upper edge of each first side plate, and two protrusion plates (26) are formed on an upper edge of each first side plate. The second cover has a top plate (31) and two second side plates (32). A locating slot (34) is formed at a front end of each second side plate, and can engage with the corresponding locating plate. Two cutouts (36) are defined in each second side plate. During assembly, the locating slots engage with the locating plates, with the second cover at an angle to the first cover. The second cover is then rotated downwardly so that the cutouts engage with the protrusion plates and the second side plates are clipped between the first side plates and the protrusion plates. The first cover and the second cover can then be fixed together by a pair of screws (59).
