Abstract
The present invention provides a retaining and fixing structure of interface card comprising an integrally formed retaining structure. The retaining structure is fixedly disposed on a leaf. One side of the leaf forms a pivot, which can be pivotally joined with a pivotal portion inside a computer housing. The retaining structure has a first press device thereon. A connection unit is also provided. The retaining structure can be joined with the connection unit, which has a second press device thereon. The second press device can control a resilient device. The first and second press devices can be used to let the retaining structure and the connection unit be quickly unlocked or joined together, hence facilitating maintenance, replacement, or expansion of interface card inside a mainframe for a user.
