Abstract

A mount bracket adapted to fix a storage device to a first side plate includes a base part including first and second support portions and a handle pivotably disposed on the base part. The first support portion configured to be removably disposed on the first side plate includes separate parts spaced apart from each other and a first buffering structure having two opposite ends located between and directly connected to the separate parts along an extension direction of the first support portion. The first buffering structure is configured to abut against a positioning recess of the first side plate. The second support portion is connected to the first support portion and configured to support the storage device. An extension direction of the second support portion from the first support portion is opposite to a protrusion direction of the first buffering structure from the first support portion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A mount bracket, adapted to fix a storage device to a first side plate, comprising:
a base part, comprising: a first support portion, configured to be removably disposed on the first side plate, wherein the first support portion comprises at least two separate parts that are spaced apart from each other and at least one first buffering structure, two opposite ends of the at least one first buffering structure are located between and directly connected to the at least two separate parts of the first support portion along an extension direction of the first support portion, wherein the first side plate has at least one positioning recess, the at least one positioning recess is recessed from a surface of the first side plate facing the mount bracket, and the at least one first buffering structure is configured to be engaged with the at least one positioning recess of the first side plate; and a second support portion, connected to the first support portion and configured to support the storage device, wherein an extension direction of the second support portion from the first support portion is opposite to a protrusion direction of the at least one first buffering structure from the first support portion; and a handle, pivotably disposed on the base part.

2 . The mount bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one first buffering structure is a protrusion towards the first side plate.

3 . The mount bracket according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one first buffering structure is in an elongated shape, and the at least one first buffering structure extends in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the extension direction of the first support portion.

4 . The mount bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one first buffering structure comprises two first buffering structures which are protrusions, and the first support portion further has a through hole formed between the first buffering structures.

5 . The mount bracket according to claim 4 , wherein the first support portion further has a second buffering structure located at the through hole.

6 . The mount bracket according to claim 5 , wherein the second buffering structure further protrudes from a surface of the first support portion than the first buffering structures.

7 . The mount bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one first buffering structure is a protrusion, and the first support portion further has two through holes located at two opposite sides of the at least one first buffering structure.

8 . The mount bracket according to claim 7 , wherein an overall width of the at least one first buffering structure and the through holes is smaller than a width of the first support portion.

9 . The mount bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the base part further comprises a joint portion, the joint portion and the second support portion are respectively connected to two opposite ends of the first support portion, the joint portion has a plate part, the first support portion has a plate part, and the plate part of the joint portion is non-parallel to the plate part of the first support portion.

10 . The mount bracket according to claim 9 , wherein the plate part of the joint portion is at an angle to the plate part of the first support portion, and the angle ranges between 10 degrees and 45 degrees.

11 . The mount bracket according to claim 10 , wherein the handle has a pressing portion and an engagement portion, the pressing portion is pivotably disposed on the joint portion of the base part and configured to press against the first side plate to move the base part relative to the first side plate, and the engagement portion is configured to be engaged with the first side plate.

12 . The mount bracket according to claim 11 , further comprising a latch and an elastic component, wherein the latch is mounted on a side of the handle located away from the engagement portion and configured to be engaged with a second side plate, and the elastic component is located between and clamped by the latch and the handle.

13 . The mount bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the handle has a pivotable range of 0 to 270 degrees from a closed position; when the handle is in the closed position, the handle is engaged with the first side plate.

14 . A server, comprising:
a first side plate having at least one positioning recess; a storage device; and a mount bracket, comprising:
a base part, comprising:
a first support portion, removably disposed on the first side plate, wherein the first support portion comprises at least two separate parts that are spaced apart from each other and at least one first buffering structure, two opposite ends of the at least one first buffering structure are located between and directly connected to the at least two separate parts of the first support portion along an extension direction of the first support portion, wherein the at least one positioning recess is recessed from a surface of the first side plate facing the mount bracket, and the at least one first buffering structure is engaged with the at least one positioning recess of the first side plate; and
a second support portion, connected to the first support portion and supporting the storage device, wherein an extension direction of the second support portion from the first support portion is opposite to a protrusion direction of the at least one first buffering structure from the first support portion; and

a handle, pivotably disposed on the base part.

15 . The server according to claim 14 , wherein the first side plate has two engagement slots, the first support portion has two engagement protrusions, and the engagement protrusions are respectively engaged with the engagement slots of the first side plate.

16 . The server according to claim 15 , wherein the engagement slots are respectively a first engagement slot and a second engagement slot, the first engagement slot has a first releasing part and a first fastening part, the first releasing part is connected to a side of the first fastening part, the second engagement slot has a second releasing part and two second fastening parts, and the second releasing part is located between and connected to the second fastening parts.

17 . The server according to claim 14 , wherein the at least one first buffering structure is in an elongated shape, and the at least one first buffering structure extends in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the extension direction of the first support portion.

18 . The server according to claim 14 , wherein the at least one first buffering structure comprises two first buffering structures which are protrusions, and the first support portion further has a through hole formed between the first buffering structures.

19 . The server according to claim 14 , wherein the at least one first buffering structure is a protrusion, and the first support portion further has two through holes located at two opposite sides of the at least one first buffering structure.

20 . A storage device assembly, adapted to be mounted on a first side plate, comprising:
a storage device; and a mount bracket, comprising:
a base part, comprising:
a first support portion, configured to be removably disposed on the first side plate, wherein the first support portion comprises at least two separate parts that are spaced apart from each other and at least one first buffering structure, two opposite ends of the at least o
