US Patent 11320876 Information handling system handle with integrated thermal rejection system

A portable information handling system housing has a handle to aid an end user in carrying of the system. A heat pipe loop passes through the handle and couples to a processing component heat sink to transfer excess thermal energy from within the housing to the handle for rejection to the ambient environment. Thermal wax disposed in the handle stores energy with a phase change from a solid to a liquid state. A color indicator disposed on the handle provides an end user with an indication of a temperature of the handle.
