  • Lightweight handle
    Patent number: 6230925
    Abstract: Disclosed is a light weight handle assembly adapted to transport a heavy duty container which may contain sensitive electronic components. The handle assembly of the present invention generally comprises a stationary bracket which mounts to a container wall and a movable handle pivotally connected to the bracket. The bracket is formed with an inner portion that is adapted to rotatably engage with a pair of pivoting arms extending from the movable handle so that the light weight handle may easily be assembled and disassembled. Each of the pivoting arms is formed with a movable stop member which is advantageously positioned to contact and bear against stationary stop members which are attached to or are a part of the container to which the handle is attached.
