A retention device (10, 10′) for an expansion card (30) mounted in a cage (70), includes an attaching member (12) attached in the cage and located above the expansion card, and a pressing member (14) slidably attached to the attaching member for pressing a top of the expansion card. The pressing member includes engaging means (28, 28′), and the attaching member includes an elastic catch (22, 22′) which can engage a selected part of the engaging means. The elastic catch includes a handle (26) for facilitating disengagement of the catch from the engaging means. A length of the pressing member protruding from the attaching member is adjustable such that the retention device can fit a variety of differently sized expansion cards.

1. A retention device for securing an expansion card mounted in a cage, the retention device comprising:an attaching member adapted to be attached in the cage and located above the expansion card, the attaching member comprising a spline; and a pressing member slidably attached to the attaching member, the pressing member comprising a free end adapted to press the expansion card, and a plurality of sockets for engagingly receiving the spline, wherein a length of the pressing member protruding from the attaching member is adjustable such that the retention device can be used for a variety of differently sized expansion cards. 2. The retention device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the attaching member comprises a hollow large portion and an adjoining hollow small portion, the pressing member being received in the large portion, an elastic catch being formed at a bottom of the small portion.3. The retention device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the elastic catch comprises the spline and a handle for facilitating disengagement of the spline from the sockets.4. A computer enclosure comprising:a cage providing an expansion card seat, a plurality of sockets, and a bar arranged above the sockets; an expansion card secured to the expansion card seat and inserted in one of said sockets; and a retention device comprising an attaching member slidably attached to the bar, and a pressing member slidably attached to the attaching member and pressing on the expansion card, wherein by sliding the pressing member relative to the attaching member, a length of the retention device between a point of attachment of the attaching member with the bar and a point of engagement of the pressing member with the expansion card is adjustable such that the retention device can be used for a variety of differently sized expansion cards. 5. The computer enclosure as claimed in the claim 4, wherein the pressing member comprises engaging means, and the attaching member comprises an elastic catch engageable with a selected part of the engaging means.6. The computer enclosure as claimed in the claim 5, wherein the elastic catch comprises a handle for facilitating disengagement of the catch from the engaging means.7. The computer enclosure as claimed in claim 6, wherein the attaching member comprises a hollow large portion and an adjoining hollow small portion, the pressing member being received in the large portion, the catch being formed at a bottom of the small portion.8. The computer enclosure as claimed in claim 6, wherein the elastic catch further comprises a tooth portion, and the engaging means is a plurality of teeth.9. The computer enclosure as claimed in claim 6, wherein the elastic catch further comprises a spline, and the engaging means is a plurality of sockets for engagingly receiving the spline.10. The computer enclosure as claimed in claim 4, wherein the bar defines a groove, and the attaching member comprises at least one rail slidably engaging in the groove.11. The computer enclosure as claimed in claim 10, wherein the attaching member further comprises a pair of blocks abutting a bottom of the bar.12. The computer enclosure as claimed in claim 4, wherein the cage comprises a bottom plate on which the sockets are provided, a rear plate on which an expansion card seat is provided, and a pair of side plates between which the bar is secured.13. A computer enclosure assembly comprising:a vertical expansion card defining a plane; a crossbar located above the expansion card and extending in a lengthwise direction perpendicular to said plane; a retention device located between said crossbar and said expansion card, end including an upper part slidably attached to the crossbar in the lengthwise direction and constantly immoveable relative thereto in a vertical direction perpendicularly to said lengthwise direction, and a lower part associated with said upper part and being restrictively moveable relative thereto in the vertical direction; wherein said lower part engages an upper portion of the expansion card for preventing upward movement of the expansion card. 14. The assembly as claimed in claim 13, wherein said retention device is moveable relative to the crossbar along said lengthwise direction when the lower part is disengaged from the upper portion of the expansion card.15. The assembly as claimed in claim 13, wherein said retention device includes a ratchet structure allowing one way engagement between the retention device and the expansion card.16. The assembly as claimed in claim 13, wherein the bar defines a groove, and the upper part of the retention device comprises at lease one rail slidably engaging in the groove.17. The assembly as claimed in claim 13, wherein the upper part of the retention device comprises a spline, and the lower part of the retention device includes a plurality of sockets for engagingly receiving the spline and a handle for facilitating disengagement of the spline from the sockets.
