Abstract
A computer enclosure includes: a bottom casing (20); a top casing (10) defining an opening (12) and detachably attached to the bottom casing; and an engaging device (40) including an upper unit (50) mounted below the opening of the top casing, and a lower unit (60) mounted to the bottom casing. The upper unit includes a bracket (51), and first and second levers (54, 56) pivotably mounted in the bracket. The first lever has first and second ends (542, 544). The lower unit of the engaging device includes parallel driving plates (64) defining generally U-shaped cutouts (640). When the first end of the first lever is rotated downwardly or upwardly, the second end of the first lever slidingly drives against the driving plates at rear or front extremities respectively of the U-shaped cutouts, thereby respectively attaching or detaching the top casing to or from the bottom casing.
