Abstract
A drive bracket assembly includes a handle (10), a fixed base (20), and a drive bracket (30). The handle includes a crossbar (11) and a pair of side arms (12). A pair of protrusions (13) is inwardly formed from the side arms respectively. A pair of tabs (16, 18) depends from a free end of each side arm. The base includes a fixed frame (22) and a connecting board (26). A plurality of slots (261, 262) is defined in the connecting board corresponding to the tabs respectively. The drive bracket includes a pair of sidewalls (34). A pair of guideways (345) is formed in the sidewalls, corresponding to the protrusions. In assembly, the handle is pivotably attached to the drive bracket, and the handle is rotated to cause the tabs to be engagingly received in the slots and the protrusions to be snappingly engaged in the guideways.
