Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to a card type CPU fixing structure, characterized in that when said card type CPU (CELERON) is inserted in the main board of Pentium II framework, there is no need to change the support seat. All the user has to do is to fasten the fixing cover on the support seat, the channel on the inside of the fixing cover will press the card type CPU (CELERON) in position, so the card type CPU (CELERON) will not wobble. With the invention, the interchange between a cartridge type Pentium II CPU and a card type CPU (CELERON) can be made readily without having to replace the support seat of the main board. With the invention, the manufacturers of main boards will not have to produce additional compatible components after the card type CPU (CELERON) is put on the market, while the user will be able to replace the CPU easily and readily.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 105 words
A card type CPU fixing structure that is fastened onto the support seat that is mounted on the CPU slot on a main board, said fixing structure involving a main unit, at two ends of the main unit being stop plates that can be fastened to the support racks on the support seat, on the inside of said main unit being a channel that will press the dented end of the card type CPU in position; said fixing structure serves to fasten the card type CPU securely on the support seat on a Pentium II framework, to enable replacement of different CPUs by the user.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 105 words
A card type CPU fixing structure that is fastened onto the support seat that is mounted on the CPU slot on a main board, said fixing structure involving a main unit, at two ends of the main unit being stop plates that can be fastened to the support racks on the support seat, on the inside of said main unit being a channel that will press the dented end of the card type CPU in position; said fixing structure serves to fasten the card type CPU securely on the support seat on a Pentium II framework, to enable replacement of different CPUs by the user.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 30 words
The card type CPU fixing structure as recited in claim 1, wherein on said stop plates are check pieces that serve to match the check holes on the support racks.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 72 words
The card type CPU fixing structure as recited in claim 1, wherein at two ends of the channel are limiting blocks, between said limiting blocks and stop plates being stop check parts that, after the main unit is fastened to the support seat, serve to enable the positioning ends installed on the support racks to be inserted in said stop check parts, and located between the stop plates and the limiting blocks.
