A handle for removing, carrying and otherwise manipulating a device is disclosed. The handle includes features that allow it to engage the mounting rails on other mounting features associated with the device. The handle is constructed such that when properly installed, pulling the handle causes the mounting rails to move both in the direction of the pulling force and perpendicularly thereto, toward each other. This allows the mounting rails to clear security features of the larger assembly, device bay, or housing in which the device is mounted or rests. The invention provides a mechanism to permit the quick and convenient removal of a device that would otherwise require simultaneous manipulation in two different places at the same time the device is pulled away from the larger assembly, device bay, or housing in which the device is mounted or rests. The handle is useful for a variety of applications, including, but not limited to electronics, computers, and devices such as mass storage devices, CD-ROM devices, Digital Audio Tape devices, Digital Linear Tape devices and Digital Video Disc devices. The handle may be constructed so that it is removable, either with or without removal of the mounting assemblies or mounting rails. Further, the handle may be constructed to allow a user access to the front of a device while the handle is installed.
