Abstract: A handle for a mop or other such cleaning instrument is hollow for flow of water from a hose attached to one end of the handle to the work-engaging portion at the other end. A manually operable control moves a stopper between three positions wherein flow through an opening in an internal partition in the handle is fully blocked, partially blocked or fully unblocked. The stopper has a total of three detent members in the form of rounded protrusions and a total of three recess for receiving the detents are formed in the partition. As the operating member is manipulated to move the stopper between its three positions, one detent engages a recess in the fully blocked position, two detents engage respective recesses in the partially blocked position and all three detents engage the three recesses in the fully unblocking position. The provision of three detents and three recesses adds to the stability and reliability of operation of the implement.

Abstract: A router having a base and an adjustably positioned motor assembly is provided with a pair of ergonomic elongate handles on opposite right and left sides of the motor housing. The elongate handles which are connected to and spaced from the motor housing by a pair of bridge members are ellipsoidal in shape when viewed in a transverse side elevation. Each elongate handle has a longitudinal length L having a large upper end, diameter Z and a lower small end diameter Z′.

Abstract: The primary structural parts of the handle are two telescopic tubes, the smaller diameter tube being an extrusion. A rib on the smaller tube engages a notch in a fitting attached to the larger tube to prevent relative rotation of the tube. A box footplate is attached to the free end of the larger tube with two degrees of angular freedom. The two axes of angular motion are perpendicular to each other and the axis of the handle. Angular motion of the box plate about one axis is transmitted by bevel gearing to telescopic torque transmission mechanism in the handle. Rotation of this mechanism and thereby the box plate about one axis is preventable by a lever operated clamp at the end of the handle. Rotation of the box plate about the other axis is manually adjustable. The length of the handle is manually adjustable and is set at a particular length by a lever operated length lock assembly.

Abstract: A screwdriver grip including a tool section, a connecting section and a grip. A front end of the tool section is disposed with a working section and a rear end of the tool section is formed with a pivot section pivotally connected with a pivot cavity of the connecting section, whereby the tool section can be pivotally rotated relative to the connecting section. The grip is back and forth sliably fitted on the connecting section. A locating member is disposed between the connecting section and the grip. When the grip is moved forward or rearward to a certain position, the locating member fixedly locates the grip on the connecting section. The grip can be moved rearward and the connecting section can be pivotally rotated by a certain angle for a user to easily hold the grip. Alternatively, the grip can be moved forward to shorten the length of the screwdriver.

Abstract: The primary structural parts of the handle are two telescopic tubes, the smaller diameter tube being an extrusion. A rib on the smaller tube engages a notch in a fitting attached to the larger tube to prevent relative rotation of the tubes. A box footplate is pivotally attached to the free end of the larger tube, the axis of the pivot being perpendicular to the axis of the tubes. The footplate is connected by a connecting link to the end of a tube which slides longitudinally in the handle and fits through a clamp mechanism installed in the overlapped end of the smaller tube and is operated by a clamp mechanism operating assembly attached to the free end of the smaller tube. Operating a lever of that assembly engages the tube in the lock mechanism, preventing it from moving longitudinally and the footplate from pivoting on the handle. The length of the handle is manually adjustable and is set at a desired length by a lever operated lock assembly attached to the overlapped end of the larger tube.

Abstract: In an effort to facilitate the dumping of a load from a wheelbarrow the present invention provides pivoting hand grips attached to the ends of wheelbarrow handles, which enable an individual handling a wheelbarrow to maintain a constant grip on the handle while dumping. Moreover, the pivoting hand grips enable the arms of the individual to be consistently in a position of strength proximate his hips. The risk of injury, particularly back injury, is minimized by eliminating the arm extension required to dump a standard wheelbarrow. The awkward and strenuous exercise of dumping a wheelbarrow is thereby replaced by a smooth flowing action. The present invention also includes a locking mechanism for preventing the hand grips from rotating during normal stationary or travelling usage and a releasing mechanism which can be easily manipulated by the fingers of the handler while gripping the hand grips when the load is being dumped.

Abstract: A multi-purpose adjustable tool handle includes an elongated hollow tubular handle member having a sleeve rotatably coupled to a first end thereof. The sleeve is in communication with an elongated drive shaft co-axially received within the handle. An arcuate arm is pivotally secured to an opposing end of the handle with a gear assembly communicating with the shaft. Accordingly, a user may pivot the arm to a desired position by rotating the sleeve relative to the handle. Any one of a number of heads may be attached to the distal end of the arm such as cleaning brushes, rollers, paint brushes, mops and similar devices.

The handling device comprises a throttle lever, attached rotatably to the device and designed to actuate a control member of the prime mover, and a handle-engaging member, designed to be engaged with a mount base of the handling device so as to lock the rotational position of the handling device relative to the mount base.

Abstract: A handle for a manually movable vehicle or other article, such as a stroller, is infinitely adjustable to enable the person or persons imparting motion to the vehicle to achieve the greatest leverage and/or comfort. A height-adjustment assembly is disposed between and interconnects each extension rod and handlebar of the handle. The height-adjustment assembly includes a plurality of clutch plates and a locking lever having a cam end. The locking lever is manually moved between a locked position in which the lever cam end causes abutment of and friction between the clutch plates thereby preventing relative movement of the plates and securing the handlebar at a selected height, and an unlocked position in which the lever cam end reduces friction between the clutch plates so that the plates are movable relative to one another to enable pivotal movement and height adjustment of the handlebar.
