ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to an impact protecting modular block, more particularly to an impact protecting modular block for shielding an industrial computer from impact.
2. Description of the Related Art
A conventional industrial computer is bulky and clumsy to move or carry, thereby resulting in the risk of damaging the industrial computer when moving the same.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to provide an impact protecting modular block which is adapted to be mounted on an industrial computer for shielding the latter from impact.
According to this invention, the impact protecting modular block includes an anchoring portion and an abutment portion. The anchoring portion has an anchoring inner surface wall adapted to be secured on an outer major surface wall at one corner of an industrial computer, and an anchoring outer surface wall opposite to the anchoring inner surface wall. The abutment portion has an abutment inner surface wall and an abutment outer surface wall which are integrally and respectively formed with and which extend transverse to the anchoring inner surface wall and the anchoring outer surface wall. The abutment inner surface wall is adapted to abut against a surrounding wall of the industrial computer when the anchoring inner surface wall of the anchoring portion is brought to be secured on the outer major surface wall. In addition, the anchoring inner surface wall of the anchoring portion of a first modular block can be stacked upon and can be secured on the anchoring outer surface wall of the anchoring portion of a second modular block so as to permit the abutment inner surface wall of the abutment portion of the first modular block to abut against the abutment outer surface wall of the abutment portion of the second modular block, thereby raising rear corners of the base body relative to front corners of the base body of the industrial computer for convenient operation. The modular block further includes fastening means adapted for detachably fastening the anchoring portion of the second modular block on the outer major surface wall, and for detachably fastening the anchoring portion of the first modular block on the anchoring portion of the second modular block.
In one embodiment, the fastening means includes screw holes and screw fasteners. In another embodiment, the fastening means includes mortises and tenons.
