Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. ยง 119(a) on Patent Application No(s). 105218274 filed in Taiwan, R.O.C. on Nov. 29, 2016, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.


FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a pull handle structure, and more particularly, to a pull handle structure connected to a first object and a second object and operable to open the first object or close and lock the same to the second object.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Many objects are provided with a handle. A user may grip the handle on an object and apply a pull or push force, and the object can be more easily connected to or separated from another object. For example, the currently available server chassis usually includes one or more handles provided on a chassis cover thereof to facilitate easy engagement and separation of the chassis cover with or from the chassis.


However, the handles of different objects are normally directly provided on an outer side of the objects without secure locking mechanism. Therefore, the handles are subjected to the risk of being wrongly operated, such as being undesirably moved to open the chassis cover.


Further, there are also flush swing handles that can be pushed and flatly attached to the object when the handles are not in use. On the other hand, the handle can be pulled outward for use when necessary.


However, the flush swing handles according to the existing technical designs are not provided with the secure locking function, either. That is, the flush swing handles still have the risk of being arbitrarily or wrongly pulled for use. Also, with the currently available handle designs, a user has to apply a considerable force on the handle to connect or separate the object with the handle to or from another object. In other words, the currently available handle designs do not include any labor-saving mechanism in the handles.


It is therefore tried by the inventor to develop a pull handle structure that can be turned to a folded position and securely locked thereto when it is not in use, and can be quickly unlocked and extended for use when necessary. Further, the pull handle structure employs the lever principle, so that the handle being pivotally turned enables effortless connection and separation of the object with the handle to and from another object.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Thereafter, the pull handle 2 can be pulled upward to separate the carrier 1 and the first object 4 from the second object 5.


On the other hand, to connect the first object 4 to the second object 5, first align the hole portion 11 of the carrier 1 with the corresponding limiting section 51 of the second object 5, and apply a force toward an opposite side of the pull handle 2 for the corresponding limiting section 51 to move within the hole portion 11, such that the first assembling sections 41 of the first object 4 are engaged with the second assembling sections 52 of the second object 5. Thereafter, turn the pull handle 2 into the recess 14 of the carrier 1. At this point, the limiting section 3 is engaged with the corresponding limiting section 51 of the second object 5 to hold the first object 4 in place. Then, move the corresponding limiting section 51 to a lateral end of the hole portion 11, i.e. to a linearly lateral side of the hole portion 11, so as to hold the first object 4 in place relative to the second object 5. Meanwhile, the holding section 21 of the pull handle 2 is retained to the corresponding holding section 12 of the carrier 1 to hold the pull handle 2 to the recess 14 of the carrier 1. At this point, the connection of the first object 4 to the second object 5 is completed.

A pull handle structure, comprising: a carrier being mounted on a first object;a pull handle being movably assembled to the carrier; anda limiting section being located on the pull handle for interfering with a second object, the limiting section including only two protrusions, the two protrusions being a first limiting portion and a second limiting portion of the pull handle;wherein the pull handle has a corresponding coupling section, the pull handle and the carrier are directly connected and turnably coupled to each other via the corresponding coupling section;wherein the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion are each directly connected to the corresponding coupling section, and the second object is fixed relatively to the first object, the first limiting portion directly engaging a corresponding limiting section to apply a force to the corresponding limiting section of the second object to move the first object with the carrier in a first movement direction parallel to the second object as the pull handle is moved in a first direction, and the second limiting portion directly engaging the corresponding limiting section to apply a force to the corresponding limiting section of the second object to move the first object with the carrier in a second movement direction opposite to the first movement direction as the pull handle is moved in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the first movement direction and the second movement direction being a linear direction;wherein the corresponding coupling section is a post;wherein the corresponding coupling section is located between the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion;wherein the corresponding limiting section is a post that extends upwardly from a top surface of the second object so that the corresponding limiting section extends above the top surface of the second object;wherein the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion do not move relative to the pull handle.
  • 2. The pull handle structure as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the second object is interfered with the limiting section via a corresponding limiting section.
  • 3. The pull handle structure as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that the corresponding limiting section can be a recessed section, a recess, a through hole, a protruded section, a post, a rod, a cambered member, a push-pull member, a hooking member, a flat member, a protrusion, a shaft, a wheel-like member, an externally threaded member, a female retaining member, a male retaining member, an internally threaded member, a block, a stepped section or a retaining member.
  • 4. The pull handle structure as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the carrier or the pull handle is provided with an elastic member, the elastic member pressing against the pull handle or the carrier so that the pull handle is elastically turnable.
  • 5. The pull handle structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion are V-shaped or U-shaped.
