Abstract
A retaining device is mounted to a computer data storage device for supporting and retaining the data storage device in an enclosure comprised of opposite side walls. The retaining device includes an elongate body having a first face and an opposite face. Two sets of pins extend from the first face, each set including at least one pin interferentially engaging with a corresponding hole defined in the data storage device thereby attaching the retaining device thereto. The retaining device is slidably inserted into a channel defined in the corresponding side wall of the enclosure with the second face thereof confronting the side wall. A pair of spaced resilient limbs is formed on an end of the body. A leaf spring is arranged between the limbs for biasing projections formed on the limbs to engage with notches defined in the enclosure thereby securely retaining the data storage device in the enclosure. An auxiliary retaining member is selectively attached to the body including a base received in a recess defined in the second face and a pin extending from the base through a hole defined in the body for additionally engaging with a hole defined in the data storage device whereby the retaining device may be selectively attached to data storage devices of different sizes.
