A frame mechanism for facilitating replacement of an electronic device from a computer, which includes a pivotal parallelepiped frame having a mounting side for installing the electronic device (e.g., CD-ROM drive etc.) therethrough. A pivot member of the frame is coupled to a mating pivot member of a parallelepiped cavity provided on the case enabling the frame to be pivotally rotated about the connection of the pivot member and the mating pivot member and enabling first, second, and third engagement members of the frame to be coupled to first, second, and third mating engagement members provided on the cavity while the frame being pivotally rotated, thereby projecting the mounting side of the frame from the cavity to the outside of the computer.

1. A frame mechanism for facilitating replacement of an electronic device from a computer comprising:a pivotal, parallelepiped frame comprising a mounting side for installing the electronic device therethrough, a first engagement member on a top side thereof perpendicular to and distal from the mounting side, a second engagement member on the top side thereof, a third engagement member on the top side thereof, and a pivot member on a sidewall thereof perpendicular to and proximate the mounting side; and a parallelepiped computer case comprising a parallelepiped cavity above a bottom thereof by a distance, a first mating engagement member on a top side thereof perpendicular to and distal from an opening of the cavity, a second mating engagement member on the top side thereof, a third mating engagement member on the top side thereof, and a mating pivot member on a sidewall of the cavity perpendicular to the top side of the cavity, wherein, while the frame being mounted inside the computer case through the cavity, the pivot member of the frame and the mating pivot member of the cavity are pivotally coupled together enabling the frame to pivot about the connection of the pivot member and the mating pivot member, and the first engagement member, the second engagement member, and the third engagement member of the frame are respectively snapped to the first mating engagement member, the second mating engagement member, and the third mating engagement member while the frame being pivotally rotated a predetermined angle, thereby projecting the mounting side of the frame from the cavity to the outside of the computer, wherein the frame further comprises a pivotal snapping piece at the sidewall thereof proximate the top side thereof, and further comprising a snapping member at an edge of the cavity, the snapping member being disposed corresponding to the snapping piece when the first engagement member, the second engagement member, and the third engagement member of the frame are snapped into the first mating engagement member, the second mating engagement member, and the third mating engagement member of the computer case respectively so that the snapping piece is capable of pivoting for snapping into the snapping member, thereby fastening the frame in the cavity. 2. The frame mechanism of claim 1, wherein the first engagement member is a hook and each of the second engagement member and the third engagement member is a tab all raised above the top side of the frame.3. The frame mechanism of claim 1, wherein the pivotal snapping piece is a latch and the snapping member at the cavity is a through hole.4. The frame mechanism of claim 1, wherein the first mating engagement member is a groove extended inward from a sidewall thereof to terminate at a lower flat surface and each of the second mating engagement member and the third mating engagement member is a raised bent piece.5. The frame mechanism of claim 1, wherein the pivot member and the mating pivot member are elongate hooks capable of matingly coupling together.6. The frame mechanism of claim 1, further comprising a positioning member at the top side of the cavity proximate the third mating engagement member, the positioning member being capable of positioning the frame in the cavity.7. A frame mechanism for facilitating replacement of an electronic device from a computer comprising:a pivotal, parallelepiped frame comprising a mounting side for installing the electronic device therethrough, a first engagement member on a top side thereof perpendicular to and distal from the mounting side, a second engagement member on the top side thereof, a third engagement member on the top side thereof, and a pivot member on a sidewall thereof perpendicular to and proximate the mounting side; and a parallelepiped computer case comprising a parallelepiped cavity above a bottom thereof by a distance, a first mating engagement member on a top side thereof perpendicular to and distal from an opening of the cavity, a second mating engagement member on the top side thereof, a third mating engagement member on the top side thereof, and a mating pivot member on a sidewall of the cavity perpendicular to the top side of the cavity, wherein, while the frame being mounted inside the computer case through the cavity, the pivot member of the frame and the mating pivot member of the cavity are pivotally coupled together enabling the frame to pivot about the connection of the pivot member and the mating pivot member, and the first engagement member, the second engagement member, and the third engagement member of the frame are respectively snapped to the first mating engagement member, the second mating engagement member, and the third mating engagement member while the frame being pivotally rotated a predetermined angle, thereby projecting the mounting side of the frame from the cavity to the outside of the computer, wherein the frame further comprises a plurality of elastic pieces on the other sidewall thereof proximate the mounting side, the elastic pieces being urged against the other sidewall of the cavity when the frame is installed in the cavity, thereby avoiding an interference of electromagnetic wave from occurring.
