Abstract
A casing for the console (Central Processing Unit) of a personal computer with easy opening and locking means consisting of a cover body and a base wherein the cover body is provided with a plurality of locking plates on the bottom portion at both sides and the front end of the top portion. The ends of both sides of the cover body are each pivoted to the end of a slide rod. Both sides of the base are each provided with a plurality of recesses. The top portion of the face extending up vertically from the front end of the base is provided with protruded upper edges, and the back portion of both sides is provided with a plurality of locating members so that the slide rods can be slidably connected to the base. In the present invention, locking is effected by having the locking plates of the cover body engaged with the upper edges and the recesses of the base and, after the locking plates disengaging the upper edges and the recesses, the cover body can be pivoted to open with the ends of the slide rods as the center of rotation such that servicing job of the computer is facilitated and the cover body is closely fitted to the base without the risk of magnetic leakage.
