[0132] To start using the handle 1, the second engaging portion 12 of the handle 1 is mounted on the object 2. When the use of the handle 1 is no longer required, the second engaging portion 12 of the handle 1 is dismounted from the object 2.
[0133] Therefore, the handle 1 is not only easy to operate and use but is also not susceptible to collisions.
[0134] In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, a connecting portion 13 is disposed at the other end of the body portion 11. The object 2 has an insertion portion 21 and a snap-engaging portion 22 which are in communication with each other. After the second engaging portion 12 of the handle 1 has entered the insertion portion 21 of the object 2, the neck portion 121 is inserted into the snap-engaging portion 22 of the object 2. After the neck portion 121 has been inserted into the snap-engaging portion 22, the connecting portion 13 corresponds in position to a corresponding portion 23 of the object 2; meanwhile, an engaging element 14 is inserted into or fastened to the connecting portion 13 at the other end of the body portion 11 to fit the handle 1 and the object 2 together. When the handle 1 is dismounted, the engaging element 14 can be removed from the connecting portion 13. Then, the neck portion 121 moves from the snap-engaging portion 22 to the insertion portion 21, and thus the object 2 is detached because of the second engaging portions 12, thereby separating the handle 1 and the object 2. Thus, the handle 1 is mounted on the object 2 in order to be in use and dismounted from the object 2 when not in use. Therefore, the handle 1 is not only easy to operate and use but is also not susceptible to collisions.
[0135] In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the object 2 is a casing, panel, box, circuit board, plate, metallic item or plastic item. Therefore, the present disclosure meets practical needs.
