The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
What is claimed is:
1. A USB cable fixture for fixing a USB cable with a USB connector to a computer, comprising:
a base portion;
an attaching portion extending from said base portion in a first direction and attached to a housing of said computer;
a fastening portion extending in a second direction orthogonal to said first direction on an opposite side of said base portion to said attaching portion, wherein said USB cable is fixed to said computer by said base portion, said fastening portion, and said USB connector.
2. The USB cable fixture according to claim 1, wherein said base portion has a surface facing said housing, and said attaching portion includes:
a first fastening leg elastically deformable and extending from said facing surface in said first direction,
a first engaging portion provided at a first tip portion of said first fastening leg to engage with a first engaging hole of said housing,
a second fastening leg elastically deformable and extending from said facing surface in said first direction,
a second engaging portion provided at a second tip portion of said second fastening leg to engage with an second engaging hole of said housing.
3. The USB cable fixture according to claim 2, wherein elastic constants of said first and second fastening legs are determined such that said attaching portion is detached from said housing when force having a predetermined strength is applied to said USB cable.
4. The USB cable fixture according to claim 2, wherein a first height of said first engaging portion from said first fastening leg in a third direction orthogonal to said first direction and a second height of said second engaging portion from said first fastening leg in said third direction are determined such that said attaching portion is detached from said housing when force having a predetermined strength is applied to said USB cable.
5. A computer system comprising:
a computer including a housing;
a USB connector connected to said computer;
a USB cable connected to said USB connector; and
a USB cable fixture attached to said housing, wherein said USB cable fixture includes:
a base portion;
an attaching portion extending from said base portion in a first direction and attached to said housing;
a fastening portion extending in a second direction orthogonal to said first direction on an opposite side of said base portion to said attaching portion, wherein said USB cable is fixed to said computer by said base portion, said fastening portion, and said USB connector.
6. The computer system according to claim 5, wherein said base portion has a surface facing said housing, and said attaching portion includes:
a first fastening leg elastically deformable and extending from said facing surface in said first direction,
a first engaging portion provided at a first tip portion of said first fastening leg to engage with a first engaging hole of said housing,
a second fastening leg elastically deformable and extending from said facing surface in said first direction,
a second engaging portion provided at a second tip portion of said second fastening leg to engage with an second engaging hole of said housing.
7. The computer system according to claim 5, wherein elastic constants of said first and second fastening legs are determined such that said attaching portion is detached from said housing when force having a predetermined strength is applied to said USB cable.
8. The computer system according to claim 5, wherein a first height of said first engaging portion from said first fastening leg in a third direction orthogonal to said first direction and a second height of said second engaging portion from said first fastening leg in said third direction are determined such that said attaching portion is detached from said housing when force having a predetermined strength is applied to said USB cable.
9. A method of fixing a USB cable connected to a USB connector comprising:
connecting said USB connector to a computer; and
attaching a USB cable fixture to a housing of said computer to enclose said USB cable by said USB cable fixture, said housing, and said USB connector.
10. The method according to claim 10, wherein said attaching includes engaging a first engaging portion provided on said USB cable fixture to a second engaging portion provided on said housing.
