Abstract
A fixing device for interface cards includes a seat. A plurality of spacers are installed on one surface of the seat. Several teeth are mounted on the top end of the spacer, while the lower portion thereof is formed with a holding device. Furthermore, a sliding block is slidably engaged on the top portion of the spacer. The sliding block is formed with teeth corresponding to the teeth of the spacer. The fixing device can be mounted in the casing of a computer mainframe in correspondence with the circuit board inserting slot within a computer mainframe. Accordingly, when an interface card is required to be inserted into the computer, the sliding block is moved upwards. Then, the interface card is passed into the holding device, and then is inserted into the inserting slot of the main circuit board. Thereafter, the sliding block is moved downwards to rest against the top end of the interface card to fully fix the interface card.
