Handling apparatus for motherboard

Abstract

A handing apparatus includes a handle, a tray configured to be secured to a motherboard, and a connecting rod. The connecting rod includes a clamping portion engaged with the tray. A first end of the connecting rod is rotatably secured to the handle by a first shaft, and a second end of the connecting rod is rotatably secured to the tray by a second shaft. The handle is rotatable about the first shaft relative to the connecting rod to disengage the clamping portion from the tray, so that the connecting rod is rotatable about the second shaft relative to the tray.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A handling apparatus comprising:
 a handle defining a sliding slot;   a tray configured to be secured to a motherboard; and   a connecting rod comprising a clamping portion and a sliding portion slidably received in the sliding slot; a first end of the connecting rod being rotatably secured to the handle by a first shaft; and a second end of the connecting rod being rotatably secured to the tray by a second shaft;   wherein the handle is rotatable about the first shaft relative to the connecting rod, and the connecting rod is rotatable about the second shaft relative to the tray, so that the handle is located in a first position and a second position; in the first position, the clamping portion is engaged with the tray, and the sliding portion is located in a first end of the sliding slot; in the second position, the clamping portion is disengaged from the tray, and the sliding portion is located in a second end of the sliding slot.   
     
     
         2 . The handling apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the sliding slot is substantially arcuate. 
     
     
         3 . The handling apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the handle defines a securing hole, the connecting rod comprises a positioning portion, the positioning portion is engaged in the securing hole when the handle is located in the first position, and the positioning portion is removed from the securing hole when the handle is located in the second position. 
     
     
         4 . The handling apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the tray comprises a blocking device, and the blocking device abuts the connecting rod for preventing the connecting rod from rotating relative to the tray. 
     
     
         5 . The handling apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the blocking device comprises a first blocking portion and a second blocking portion, the first blocking portion abuts the connecting rod when the handle is located in the first position; and the second blocking portion abuts the connecting rod when the handle is located in the second position. 
     
     
         6 . The handling apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the tray comprises a mounting plate, the first blocking portion is located on the mounting plate and towards the connecting rod; and the second blocking portion extends from an edge of the mounting plate. 
     
     
         7 . The handling apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the tray defines a clipping hole; and the clamping portion is engaged in the clipping hole. 
     
     
         8 . The handling apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a configuration of the first shaft is same as a configuration of the second shaft, and the first shaft and the second shaft are located on opposite ends of the connecting rod. 
     
     
         9 . The handling apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the tray is a CPU tray.
