  • Patent number: 5845978
    Abstract: A handle apparatus for a computer is disclosed, including a chassis forming a framework for receiving various components of a computer and having two pairs of vertically extended tabs each having a support hole for engaging with a shaft, a stop rib for preventing the shaft from being inserted past a predetermined point, a holder rib for preventing the shaft from coming loose, a handle for gripping to facilitate carrying the computer, a pair of shafts for engaging the chassis and the handle in an assembled arrangement, and a cover for covering the chassis, the cover having a groove in which the handle is laid out of sight. The support hole contact area is large in order to disperse the load of the computer efficiently through the center of the shaft, when a worker carries the computer, to prevent the shaft from being transformed. A rest is provided in the groove of the cover to stop the handle's fall thereby preventing the handle from colliding directly with the cover or the chassis of the computer.
