Abstract
A screwless disk drive frame positioning structure is disclosed. A floppy disk drive frame is hanged below the hard disk drive frame, and then a positioning structure on the front plate of a computer base is used to buckle the disk drive frames, or after the hard disk drive frame is combined with the floppy disk drive frame, the hard disk drive frame is hanged from an upper plate of a computer base. Then, the positioning structure on the front plate of the computer base serves to buckle the floppy disk drive frame. The positioning structure comprises a pressure suffering plate and two elastic elements. A bending plate having a concave portion extends from the middle portion of the pressure suffering plate. While the floppy disk drive frame is a “␣” shape plate. The lower side of the floppy disk drive frame is formed with a hooking plate folded outwards. By the upper grooves of the pressure suffering plate to buckle the hooking plate, the floppy disk drive frame/hard disk drive frame are fixed to the computer base without needing to any tool. Moreover, the attaching and detaching works can be performing rapidly.
