US Patent 7272016 Interface card coupling structure

An interface card coupling structure includes a bracing member fastened to a case that has a retaining plate extending from an edge with a latch hole formed thereon, and a coupling member pivotally coupled on the retaining plate. The coupling member has a latch pin on one end facing the retaining plate to engage with the latch hole and anchor the coupling member on the retaining plate. The coupling member presses an interface card to form secure coupling. The coupling member may be made by injection forming. The structural elements of the bracing member of the interface card coupling structure are thus fewer. Hence the cost may be reduced and production speed increased.
