Abstract: A lever (10) is fastened by its bottom end to a lawnmower handle with connector (14) and clamp (12). It also has fastened to it, about one quarter of the way from the bottom end, another connector (14) which is fastened to the two lower ends of said mower handle in such a way that when lever (10) is pulled, pressure is transmitted to said handle ends, either squeezing them together or forcing them apart. This action causes said handle to become disengaged from the mower frame. Said handle can then be raised to the vertical position for storage.
