The handle 40 includes a first pivot portion 42 and a first fastening portion 43. The first pivot portion 42 is disposed on the base 20 of the bracket body, and the first fastening portion 43... The position of part 43 is opposite to that of the first pivot part 42; the fastener 50 includes a second pivot part 52 and a second fastening part 53. The second pivot part 52 is disposed on the base 20 of the bracket body, so that the second fastening part 53 can be separated to restrict the first fastening part 43, thereby restricting the rotation of the handle 40; wherein, when the first fastening part 43 of the handle 40 is released from the restriction of the second fastening part 53 of the fastener 50, the first fastening part 43 is pivotally displaced from a first position to a second position, causing the handle 40 to rotate away from the base 20 of the bracket body.

[0020] With the above-described structure, when this invention is applied to a server, the electronic device is carried by the bracket body, and the bracket body is provided with a first pivot portion 42 of the handle 40 and a second pivot portion 52 of the fastener 50. The second fastening portion 53 of the fastener 50 can be detachably restricted by the first fastening portion 43 of the handle 40. When the first fastening portion 43 is released from the restriction of the second fastening portion 53, the first fastening portion 43 can pivotally move from the first position to the second position, causing the handle 40 to rotate away from the bracket body. This allows the operator to easily hold the handle 40, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of installing or removing electronic devices inside the server.

[0021] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the base 20 of the bracket body includes a body 21 and a receiving groove 22. The body 21 is rectangular and has a front side 211, a rear side 212, a top side 213, and a bottom side 214. The front side 211 and the rear side 212 are opposite to each other, and the front side 211 is farther away from the EMI shield 30 than the rear side 212. The top side 213 and the bottom side 214 are opposite to each other, and the top side 213 and the bottom side 214 are respectively connected to the front side 211 and the rear side 212. The receiving groove 22 is recessed in the front side 211 of the body 21. The rear side 212 of the body 21 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 10 by multiple screws. The EMI shield 30 is located between the support frame 10 and the rear side 212 of the body 21.

[0022] In this embodiment, the grip 40 further includes a bracket 41 and a first torsion spring element 44. The bracket 41 has a first pivot portion 42 and a first fastening portion 43 formed on opposite sides, with the first fastening portion 43 closer to the fastener 50 than the first pivot portion 42. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the base 20 further includes a first pivot P1. The extension direction of the first pivot portion 42 is parallel to the axial direction of the first pivot P1. The first pivot portion 42 is pivotally connected to the seat body 21 of the base 20 via the first pivot P1, allowing the bracket 41 to rotate about the axial direction of the first pivot P1. The first torsion spring element 44 is sleeved on the first pivot portion 42. The first torsion spring element 44 has a first end 441 and a second end 442. The first end 441 of the first torsion spring element 44 abuts against the bracket 41, and the second end 442 of the first torsion spring element 44 abuts against the seat body 21 of the base 20, so that the first torsion spring element 44 provides an elastic force to rotate the bracket 41 away from the receiving groove 22.

[0023] In this embodiment, the fastener 50 further includes a buckle body 51 and a second torsion spring element 54.
