With Means Permanently Connecting The Handle To A Carried Article Patents (Class 16/409)
  • Patent number: 10935183
    Abstract: The present invention provides a handle adapted to be pivotally configured on a mounting side of an electronic device, and includes a pair of rigid swing arms and an elastic band. The rigid arms are individually pivotally connected on the mounting side of the electronic device along a same pivot axis. The elastic band is connected between the rigid swing arms. When the electronic device is erected on a plane, the rigid swing arms can support the weight of the electronic device. When the electronic is hand-held by a user, the elastic band can be elastically deformed to adapt to a user palm in different sizes.

  • Patent number: 6789294
    Abstract: The self-fastening handle assembly includes a carrier panel with an aperture. A base member has a central bore and a bottom surface. Fingers, which extend from the bottom surface of the base member, are in a first arrangement which has a diameter which is smaller than the diameter of the aperture and thereby capable of being routed therethrough. The fingers are expandable from the first arrangement to a second arrangement having a diameter greater than the diameter of the aperture. A spreader pin resides within the bore and within the fingers. The spreader pin is movable from a first position with the fingers at the first arrangement to a second position within the fingers to a second arrangement with the finger engaging surface in communication with the fingers. A handle, pivotally connected to the base member by a pivot; has an impact end which drives the spreader pin into the fingers upon rotation of the handle.
