  • Patent number: 8749973
    Abstract: An electronic device enclosure includes a bracket and a handle. The bracket includes a front plate, a first securing piece, and a resilient tab. The resilient tab is secured to the front plate. The handle includes a handhold and a first mounting portion extending from the handhold. The first mounting portion is pivotably mounted to the first securing piece. The first mounting portion defines a pivot axis. The first mounting portion includes a first side surface, a second side surface, and a connecting surface connected between the first side surface and the second side surface. A distance between the first side surface and the pivot axis and a distance between the second side surface and the pivot axis are both less than a distance between the connecting surface and the pivot axis. The connecting surface resists against the resilient tab to be deformed when the first mounting portion rotates.
