    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an economical device easily assembled, which prevents an expensive computer frame from being damaged and has many energy- absorbing points assisting to retain the peak level even when the operating computer is under a heavy earthquake activity. SOLUTION: A fastening mechanism where screwing yokes are arranged at opposite ends is used as a means to provide a retaining device 10 fixing a relatively heavy computer and/or other instruments during an earthquake, together with eyebolts arranged in respective yoke parts of the screwing yoke. Elecrtric instruments are fitted into a frame 100 having a plurality of metallic plates 20 fixed to the bottom. The frame 100 is provided with casters 110 and hence, these instruments can be easily carried to a specified position by the casters 110 and then, firmly fixed at the specified position by using a small number of pins inserted in the screwing yokes and the eyebolts.
