Abstract

An electronic device having a removable handle is provided and includes a handle, two connecting elements, and a body. The handle is coupled to the body through the connecting elements to allow a user to change the handle through the connecting elements as needed, thereby rendering the use of the handle highly flexible. Bumps of the connecting elements are disposed at concave portions on the body, respectively. The fastening components fasten the connecting elements to the body. Therefore, the connecting elements are firmly coupled to the body to enhance overall structural stability after assembly and usage safety of using the handle to carry the body.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device having a removable handle, comprising:
a body having two concave portions disposed on two opposing lateral sides of the body, respectively;
two connecting elements each disposed on each of the two opposing lateral sides of the body having the concave portions, respectively, with the connecting elements each comprising a base, a pivotal connection unit and a plurality of fastening components, and the base comprises a bump penetrating one of the concave portions of the body, wherein the fastening components penetrate the base and get fastened to the body, and the pivotal connection unit is fixedly disposed at the base and comprises a pivotal connection hole and a mounting recess;
a handle, pivotally disposed at the connecting elements and comprising a grip element, two pivotal connection shafts each having a thread hole in an axis of the two pivotal connection shafts; and
two pivotal bolts, wherein the pivotal connection shafts are disposed at two ends of the grip element and are penetratingly disposed at the mounting recesses, respectively; wherein each of the pivotal bolts penetrating each of the pivotal connection holes is penetratingly disposed at each of the pivotal connection shafts, respectively; wherein the two pivotal bolts are fastened to two thread holes of the two pivotal connection shafts when the removable handle is in a stable state;
wherein the grip element of the handle comprises a body segment and two extension segments connected to two ends of the body segment, respectively, with the pivotal connection shafts disposed at the extension segments, respectively; and
wherein an insertion hole is disposed on the body segment of the grip element, and a direction of a distance between two ends of the insertion hole differs from a lengthwise direction of the body segment.

2. The electronic device having a removable handle according to claim 1 , wherein the bumps differ from the fastening components in lengthwise direction, respectively.

3. The electronic device having a removable handle according to claim 1 , wherein a distance h from the axis of the pivotal connection shafts of the handle to one of a top side of the body and the bases of the connecting elements equals 10% to 35% of a rotation radius r of the grip element of the handle.

4. The electronic device having a removable handle according to claim 1 , wherein the extension segments each has a recess part, with the pivotal connection shafts disposed at the recess parts, respectively, and the recess parts of the grip element are attached to the pivotal connection units of the connecting elements, respectively.

5. An electronic device having a removable handle, comprising:
a body having two concave portions disposed on two opposing lateral sides of the body, respectively;
two connecting elements each disposed on each of the two opposing lateral sides of the body having the concave portions, respectively, with the connecting elements each comprising a base, a pivotal connection unit and a plurality of fastening components, and the base comprises a bump penetrating one of the concave portions of the body, wherein the fastening components penetrate the base and get fastened to the body, and the pivotal connection unit is fixedly disposed at the base and comprises a pivotal connection hole and a mounting recess;
a handle, pivotally disposed at the connecting elements and comprising a grip element, two pivotal connection shafts each having a thread hole in an axis of the two pivotal connection shafts; and
two pivotal bolts, wherein the pivotal connection shafts are disposed at two ends of the grip element and are penetratingly disposed at the mounting recesses, respectively,
wherein each of the pivotal bolts penetrating each of the pivotal connection holes is penetratingly disposed at each of the pivotal connection shafts, respectively, wherein the two pivotal bolts are fastened to two thread holes of the two pivotal connection shafts when the removable handle is in a stable state, and
wherein the bases of the connecting elements each comprises a first abutting segment, a second abutting segment, and a third abutting segment, the first abutting segment having an end connected to an end of the second abutting segment, the second abutting segment having another end connected to an end of the third abutting segment, the second abutting segment being arcuate, and the first abutting segment being different from the third abutting segment in lengthwise direction.

6. The electronic device having a removable handle according to claim 5 , wherein the fastening components penetrate the first abutting segments of the bases and get fastened to the body.

7. The electronic device having a removable handle according to claim 6 , wherein the bumps are disposed at the third abutting segments of the bases.

8. The electronic device having a removable handle according to claim 5 , wherein the connecting elements each comprises a positioning flange disposed on a side of a corresponding one of the bases of the connecting elements and facing the body.

9. The electronic device having a removable handle according to claim 5 , wherein another end of the first abutting segment is inclined at a lead angle.
