Abstract: In a conventional operating handle for an operating machine, the two ends of a vibration-proof rubber are sandwiched between a handle rod and a grip bar, thereby connecting the handle rod and grip bar. The vibration of the handle rod is absorbed by the torsion of the vibration-proof rubber. As a result, the vibration of the handle rod can only be reduced rather than eliminated. In the present invention, a grip bar is attached rotatably to the upper end of a handle rod so as to be capable of a rocking motion, and the swing shock generated when the grip bar oscillates is absorbed by a stopper rubber provided on the handle rod. Thus the vibration of the grip bar can be absorbed efficiently by the rockable rotatably attached portion and the stopper rubber.
