## Abstract

An electronic device enclosure includes a chassis, a cover secured to the chassis, a handle rotatably mounted to the chassis, a latching member rotatably mounted to the chassis and securing the handle to the chassis, and a resilient member mounted between the latching member and the cover. The latching member comprises a pressing portion extending out of the cover. The pressing portion is operable to be pressed to rotate the latching member to disengage from the chassis and elastically press the resilient member, allowing the handle to rotate relative to the chassis without pulling out the handle forcefully by hand.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic device enclosure, comprising:
a chassis;
a cover secured to the chassis;
a handle rotatably mounted to the chassis and comprising a latching piece;
a latching member rotatably mounted to the cover and comprising a limiting piece and a pressing portion extending out of the cover; and
a resilient member mounted between the chassis and the latching member;
wherein the latching piece is engaged with the limiting piece, preventing the handle from rotating relative to the chassis; the pressing portion is operable to be pressed to rotate the latching member relative to the chassis to disengage the latching piece from the limiting piece and elastically press the resilient member, allowing the handle to rotate relative to the chassis.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 1, wherein the latching member further comprises a holding piece and a connecting piece; the holding piece and the latching piece extend from opposite edges of the connecting piece; and the holding piece abuts the resilient member.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 2, wherein the connecting piece is slanted relative to the holding piece and the latching piece, and the holding piece is substantially parallel to the latching piece.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 2, wherein the latching member further comprises a positioning post, and the pressing portion and the limiting post are located on opposite sides of the holding piece; and the cover defines a through hole, and the pressing portion extends through the through hole.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 2, wherein the cover comprises a top wall and a sidewall; the chassis comprises a bottom plate, a side plate, and a holding plate; the bottom plate is substantially parallel to the holding plate; the top wall is substantially parallel to the bottom plate; the sidewall is secured to the side plate; and a first end of the resilient member abuts the holding plate, and a second end of the resilient member abuts the holding piece.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 5, wherein each of the holding piece, the connecting piece, and the latching piece is located between the top wall and the holding plate.

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 2, wherein the cover further comprises two pivoting pieces extending from the top wall, and each pivoting piece defines a pivoting hole; the latching member further comprises a pivoting shaft, and each end of the pivoting shaft is pivotably received in the pivoting hole.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 7, wherein each pivoting piece is substantially perpendicular to the top wall, and the pivoting shaft is substantially parallel to the top wall and the sidewall.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 1, wherein the latching member further comprises a limiting block in the limiting piece, the latching piece defines a latching hole, and the limiting block is engaged in the latching hole; and when the pressing portion is pressed downwards, the limiting block is disengaged from the latching hole.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 1, wherein the cover further comprises a resilient piece, and the resilient piece is elastically deformed to resist the handle; and when the pressing portion is pressed downwards, the resilient piece rebounds to rotate the handle away from the chassis.

### Claim 11

An electronic device enclosure, comprising:
a chassis;
a cover secured to the chassis and comprising a resilient member;
a handle rotatably mounted to the chassis and comprising a latching piece;
a latching member rotatably mounted to the cover and comprising a limiting piece and a pressing portion extending out of the cover; and
a resilient member mounted between the chassis and the latching member;
wherein the resilient member is elastically deformed to resist the handle, and the latching piece is engaged with the limiting piece, preventing the handle from rotating relative to the chassis; the pressing portion is operable to be pressed to rotate the latching member relative to the chassis to disengage the latching piece from the limiting piece and elastically press the resilient member, and the resilient piece rebounds to rotate the handle away from the chassis.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 11, wherein the latching member further comprises a holding piece and a connecting piece; the holding piece and the latching piece extend from opposite edges of the connecting piece; and the holding piece abuts the resilient member.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 12, wherein the connecting piece is slanted relative to the holding piece and the latching piece, and the holding piece is substantially parallel to the latching piece.

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 12, wherein the latching member further comprises a positioning post, and the pressing portion and the limiting post are located on opposite sides of the holding piece; and the cover defines a through hole, and the pressing portion extends through the through hole.

### Claim 15 (depends on 12)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 12, wherein the cover comprises a top wall and a sidewall; the chassis comprises a bottom plate, a side plate, and a holding plate; the bottom plate is substantially parallel to the holding plate; the top wall is substantially parallel to the bottom plate; the sidewall is secured to the side plate; and a first end of the resilient member abuts the holding plate, and a second end of the resilient member abuts the holding piece.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 15, wherein each of the holding piece, the connecting piece, and the latching piece is located between the top wall and the holding plate.

### Claim 17 (depends on 12)

The electronic device enclosure of claim 12, wherein the cover further comprises two pivoting pieces extending from the top wall, and each pivoting piece defines a pivoting hole; the latching member further comprises a pivoting shaft, and each end of the pivoting shaft is pivotably received in the pivoting hole.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)
