  • Patent number: 8128137
    Abstract: To provide a supporting structure of a rotating section which offers not only facilitated mounting but also resistance to dropout. There are provided a handle base 1 for rotatably supporting one end side of a handle grip 2, and a lever 3 which has a shaft section 23 rotatably supported by a bearing section 11 of the handle base 1 and which is rotated upon pulling of the handle grip 2. The lever 3 includes a first shaft tip section 27 projecting from the shaft section 23 to a shaft tip side and having a part cut away so as to form a circular face, and a second shaft tip section 28 projecting from the first shaft tip section 27 to a shaft tip side and having a width smaller than that of the first shaft tip section 27.
