Field of the Invention: [0003]The present invention is related to a host unit case of a personal computer and particularly to a built-up type host unit case of a computer. [0004]2. Brief Description of Related Art: [0005]The host unit case is employed to receive electronic devices such as a main board, hard disks, optical disk drives, floppy disk drives and power supply device. Usually, the host unit case is set up with an unchangeable structure. The composite type host unit case has prior art such as U.S. Pat. No. 6,961,236 and Taiwan Utility model publication No. M258544. U.S. Pat. No. 6,961,236 discloses a computer chassis and Taiwan Utility model publication No. M258544 discloses a host unit case to meet specifications of ATX and BTX. [0006]Following prior art which is belonged to a further type for the host unit case is made available for being disassembled into several parts before being set up as the host unit case. Taiwan Patent Publication No. 468811 discloses a host unit case for an industrial computer. Taiwan Patent Publication No. 474423 discloses a computer chassis free from aid of hand tools. Taiwan Patent Publication No. 490120 discloses a composite type computer chassis. Taiwan Patent Publication No. 531142 discloses a composite type computer chassis assembly. [0007]Further, the computer chassis free from aid of hand tools disclosed in Taiwan Patent Publication No. 474423 provides the front and rear cover plates, which are pivotally joined to a bottom plate with head pins, two frame plates for a big floppy disk drive, which are pivotally joined to the front and rear cover plates, and a cover plate for a small floppy disk drive is assembled to a frame plate and is fixedly hung to the bottom of frame plate for the big floppy disk drive. Further, four L shaped plates are fixed at four corners of the bottom plate to be joined to the two cover plates firmly. Finally, two lateral cover plates are hooked to the lateral sides of the preceding structure and fastened with set screws after the main board and the power supply frame being mounted to the preceding structure to complete the whole assembly of the computer chassis. The parts of the computer chassis are packaged separately such that less space is required for storage. [0008]However, parts of the preceding prior art are so many and divided into several part groups and it is inconvenient to pick right parts during setting up the computer chassis such that it is hard to gather the parts before assembling and it takes a lot of time set up the computer chassis. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009]Therefore, the invention is proposed in order for a host unit case for a computer to be folded and set up more conveniently. [0010]The primary object is to provide a host unit case with upper and lower covers for a computer with which the host unit case can be completely set up easily and quickly to enhance fun while the host unit case being set up by the user. [0011]Another object is to provide a host unit case with upper and lower covers for a computer with which the parts can be gathered together and reduced in a small volume while packaging for reducing delivery cost and saving storage space. [0012]Accordingly, a host unit case with foldable upper and lower covers for a computer according to the present invention is capable of being reduced volume thereof while packaging and being completely set up conveniently and quickly and comprises: [0013]an upper cover, providing a first plate member and a second plate member pivotally connecting with the first plate member; [0014]a lower cover, providing a third plate member and a fourth plate member pivotally connecting with the third plate member; [0015]a first wall, the upper end thereof pivotally connecting with the first plate member and the lower end thereof pivotally connecting with the third plate member; and [0016]a second wall, the upper end thereof pivotally connecting with the second plate member and the lower end thereof pivotally connecting with the fourth plate member; [0017]wherein, the upper and lower ends of the first wall are joined to a first end of the upper cover and a first end of the lower cover and the upper and lower ends of the second wall are joined to a second end of the upper cover and a second end of the lower cover in case of the preceding parts being extended to allow the host unit case being completely set up conveniently and quickly. Thus, the host unit case can be reduced the volume thereof while packaging. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0018]The present invention can be more fully understood by reference to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which: [0019]FIG. 1A is a perspective view of the first embodiment of a host unit case with upper and lower covers for a computer according to the present invention; [0020]FIG. 1B is a perspective view of the first embodiment of the host unit case shown in FIG. 1A associated with an upper case member; Continue reading...
