Abstract
A lawn mower handle mounting wherein a mower has a handle attached thereto and the handle includes two end portions pivotally mounted to the mower. A projection extends on the mower adjacent the pivot axis of the handle and the handle can slide over the projection to be disposed therebelow and the handle is spring-biased to be retained underneath the projection. A rib extends underneath the projection at an angle to engage the upper edge of the handle, and a block extends below the handle so that the handle is secure and snug between the rib and the block, as urged thereagainst by the spring action mentioned. A pivot pin interconnects the handle and the mower and allows the handle to be sprung from underneath the projection and free thereof so that the handle can be pivoted upwardly relative to the mower, when desired.
