Abstract

A desktop computer cabinet includes a top slat, a bottom slat substantially parallel and opposite to the top slat, a front slat perpendicularly connected to the top slat and the bottom slat, a rear slat substantially parallel and opposite to the front slat, and perpendicularly connected to the top slat and the bottom slat, a pair of substantially parallel sidewalls, and a pair of handle fastened into a pair of receiving grooves correspondingly defined on the sidewalls.

Description

    BACKGROUND
  • 1. Technical Field
  • The present disclosure relates to cabinets and, particularly, to a desktop computer cabinet.
  • 2. Description of Related Art
  • Generally, a handle is formed on the top of a desktop computer cabinet to allow a user to carry the computer from one place to another. However, if the desktop computer is too heavy and the user would like someone to help them, it will be awkward to use the handle because it is configured for just one person to use.
  • Therefore, it is desirable to provide a desktop computer cabinet which can overcome the above-mentioned problems.
  • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURE
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded, isometric view of a desktop computer cabinet according to one embodiment.
  • FIG. 2 is an isometric view of a handle of the desktop computer cabinet of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is an assembled, isometric view of the desktop computer cabinet of FIG. 1.
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • Referring to FIG. 1, a desktop computer cabinet 1, according to one embodiment, includes a top slat 14, a bottom slat 16, a front slat 12, a rear slat 15, a pair of first sidewalls 10, a number of bolts 18, and a pair of handles 19. The desktop computer cabinet 1 can be rectangular in shape.
  • The top slat 14 is substantially parallel and opposite to the bottom slat 16. The front slat 12 is substantially parallel and opposite to the rear slat 15. The first sidewalls 10 are substantially parallel and opposite to each other. The first sidewalls 10 perpendicularly connect the top slat 14 to the bottom slat 16, and perpendicularly connect the front slat 12 to the rear slat 15.
  • The front slat 12 defines a number of access holes 122. The access holes 122 are configured to expose a number of buttons 120, for example, a power button or a reset button, and a number of electronic accessories (not shown), such as a CD-ROM drive, a floppy drive, or a USB slot.
  • Each of the first sidewalls 10 includes an outer surface 100 and a receiving groove 102 formed on the outer surface 100 near the top slat 14. The receiving groove 102 defines a bottom surface 102 a. The receiving groove 102 defines a handle hole 102 b at a center of the bottom surface 102 a and a number of screw holes 102 c at the periphery of the handle hole 102 b.
  • Also referring to FIG. 2, each of the handles 19 includes a holding base 190 and a flange 192. The holding base 190 is substantially rectangular and includes a second sidewall 190 a and a bottom board 190 b. The bottom board 190 b is similar to the handle hole 102 b in shape, but smaller in size. The second sidewall 190 a perpendicularly connects to the periphery of the bottom board 190 b. The flange 192 perpendicularly extends outwardly from the periphery of the second sidewall 190 a opposite to the bottom board 190 b. The handles 19 each define a number of through holes 194 in the flange 192 corresponding to the screw holes 102 c.
  • Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, in assembly, the holding base 190 extends through the handle hole 102 b. The flange 192 contacts the bottom surface 102 a of the receiving groove 102. The through holes 194 align with the screw holes 102 c. The bolts 18 extend through corresponding through holes 194 and screw into the screw hole 102 c to fasten the handle 19 in the receiving groove 102.
  • In use, the desktop computer cabinet 1 can be easily carried by two people simultaneously by having each person hold the corresponding handle 19 fastened on the first sidewall 100.
  • While various exemplary and preferred embodiments have been described, it is to be understood that the disclosure is not limited thereto. To the contrary, various modifications and similar arrangements (as would be apparent to those skilled in the art) are intended to also be covered. Therefore, the scope of the appended claims should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements.
