Abstract: A fastening mechanism for detachable keyboard modules with the keyboard module consists of at least one fastening seat. The fastening seat engages with a fastening means. The keyboard module is fastened to a computer casing through the fastening means. The fastening means includes a body, two slide channels and an elastic element. The body has a second fastener located at the front end thereof and a housing chamber located at the rear end thereof. The two slide-channels are located at two sides of the body to form a slidable coupling with two slides which located at two sides of the fastening seat. The elastic element is restricted between the housing chamber and a stopping flange which located at a rear end of the fastening seat. The elastic force of the elastic element may push the fastening means forwards to enable a second fastener located at the front end of the body to engage with a first fastener located at the computer casing thereby to enable the keyboard module fastening to the computer casing. When the fastening means is moved rearwards, the second fastener is separated from the first fastener thereby enabling the keyboard module detached from the computer casing.

Abstract translation: 用于具有键盘模块的可拆卸键盘模块的紧固机构由至少一个紧固座构成。 紧固座与紧固装置啮合。 键盘模块通过紧固装置固定在计算机外壳上。 紧固装置包括主体，两个滑动通道和弹性元件。 主体具有位于其前端的第二紧固件和位于其后端的容纳室。 两个滑动通道位于主体的两侧，以形成一个具有位于紧固座两侧的两个滑块的可滑动联轴器。 弹性元件限制在容纳室和位于紧固座的后端的止动凸缘之间。 弹性元件的弹力可以向前推动紧固装置，使得位于主体前端的第二紧固件与位于计算机壳体处的第一紧固件接合，从而使键盘模块能够紧固到计算机外壳。 当紧固装置向后移动时，第二紧固件与第一紧固件分离，从而使得键盘模块能够从计算机外壳分离。
