Abstract

An engaging device of a handle for a modularized casing is composed of a modularized casing; a handle; an outer sleeve; a side of casing being provided with a positioning hole for emplacing the hook; a shaft pin which is loosely connected to the pivoting holes of casing and handle, with the handle being rotated against the shaft pin. The handle can be firmly locked to the modularized casing without being loosened and dislocated, and the engaging device can be rapidly released from the positioning hole, while most of a volume of the handle will not protrude out of the modularized casing.

Claims (3)

1. An engaging device of a handle in combination with a modularized casing comprising a rectangular modularized casing, a surface of which is provided with a pivoting hole; a handle, a rear end of which is formed with a pivoting hole, and a side of an outer end of which is provided with a projection piece in an extended shape, with a projection body of a smaller outer diameter being formed at an outer end of the projection piece and a longitudinal projection part being formed at an inner side of the projection piece; an engaging device including an outer sleeve, an interior of which is provided with a transversal and plate-shape groove and a cylindrical groove, both of which are interconnected, and a side edge of which is extended into a hollow through-slot and a hook with the through-slot providing for a transfixing of the projection part; and a spring, which is inserted into the cylindrical groove and a connection end of which is sheathed into the projection body with the projection piece being transfixed into the plate-shape groove; a positioning hole which is located at an edge of a side end of casing; said hook which can be emplaced in the positioning hole and can be locked to an inner wall of positioning hole; a shaft pin which is loosely connected to the pivoting hole of casing and the pivoting hole of handle with the handle being rotated against the shaft pin.

2. The engaging device of a handle in combination with a modularized casing according to claim 1 , wherein a projection body is located on a surface of casing and on a side surface close to a front end of handle, and a notch is located on a side wall of handle, with an inner wall of notch being able to be abutted on a side wall of the projection body.

3. The engaging device of a handle in combination with a modularized casing according to claim 1 , wherein the projection part can be relatively shifted in the through-slot, the projection piece can be relatively shifted in the plate-shape groove, and the projection body can be relatively shifted in the cylindrical groove.
