Electronic device with a handle
The present invention is to provide an electronic device with a handle, which includes a server being connected and inserted into a host, a lug being installed separately on both edges on one side of the server and attached to both ends on one side of the server, and a handle being pivotally coupled separately on both sides of the server proximate to the lug and integrally formed with the lug and capable of rotating towards the center of the host, so that the server can be pushed into the host by pushing the handle or pulled out from the host to avoid collisions to the host.

The present invention generally relates to electronic devices, and more particularly to an electronic device with a handle that can make the installation of the electronic device safer and more convenient.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONAs our life has entered into an information era with a blooming electronic industry, various high-tech electronic products derived from computers are developed in a fast manner and definitely bring a substantial breakthrough to the development of science and technology. However, while various current electronic technologies are being developed and advanced constantly, the hardware installation and the way of using interfaces of related electronic products need to meet the requirements of ergonomic designs and applications as to make electronic products more convenient to use, practical, safe and time-saving. For example, a conventional large server comes with a host, and the host can install a plurality of servers. To allow users to install the servers onto the host in a safer and more convenient fashion, major technical companies and manufactures spare no effort to design various servers that can be transported faster and more conveniently.

However, when a user pushes the server into the host, the fixed handle 61 restricts the operating space of the user's hands, and even may cause injuries to the user's hands (such as being clamped or hit). Furthermore, the design of the conventional fixed handle 61 has a shortcoming of being difficult for users to grip or apply force, and thus causing a collision by accident or a system failure. When a user lifts up the server, the force applying on the fixed handle 61 is poor and it will induce pains to the user's hands. Therefore, finding a solution for the foregoing problem is an important subject of the present invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn view of the shortcomings of the prior-art, the inventor of the present invention conducted extensive research and development to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and finally invented an electronic device with a handle.
It is therefore a primary objective of the present invention to provide an electronic device with a handle, which comprises: a server being connected and inserted into a host; a lug being installed separately on both edges on one side of the server and the lugs are attached to both ends on one side of the server; a handle being pivotally coupled separately on both sides of the server proximate to the lug, and the handle is integrated with the lug as a whole and capable of rotating towards the center of the host, and the server is pushed into the host by pushing the handle or pulled out from the host to avoid collisions to the host.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings.

Claims
1. An electronic device with a handle, comprising:
- a server, being connected and inserted into a host;
- a lug, being attached separately on both edges on one side of said server;
- a handle, being pivotally coupled separately on both sides of said server and capable of rotating towards the center of said host or rotating to a position to integrate with said lug as a whole.
2. The electronic device with a handle of claim 1, wherein said handle comprises a U-shape opening facing said server and a bolt passing through both ends of said U-shape opening, such that said handle is pivotally coupled to said server and one end is connected to said lug, and said U-shape opening is capable of accommodating said lug precisely.
3. The electronic device with a handle of claim 1, wherein said handle comprises a hook being protruded from another end of said handle corresponding to said server, and said hook is substantially in an arc shape and integrally formed with said handle, and when said handle is rotated to a position to be integrated with said lug, said hook is coupled onto said host.
4. The electronic device with a handle of claim 1, wherein said lug comprises at least one groove disposed on one side of said handle and a protrusion disposed on said handle and on a side facing said lug, and said protrusion is accommodated precisely into said groove such that said protrusion is embedded into said groove.
5. The electronic device with a handle of claim 1, wherein said lug is substantially flat and L-shaped; one side of said lug is fixed onto one side of said server; said lug has a plurality of bores disposed thereon and said host has the same number of bores disposed at the corresponding positions on both sides' and a plurality of fastening bolts can be screwed onto both sides of said host.
6. The electronic device with a handle of claim 1, wherein said handle comprises a hollow sheath for covering the surface of said handle.
