Abstract
Mountings for duplex U-shaped handles for luggage items of relatively small depth, for example, attache cases, in which the pair of spaced pintles for rotatably supporting each handle on each of the casing halves, is positioned close to the parting line between the open halves of the luggage case. Thereby, each handle in its inoperative position adjacent to the top of the case, does not extend beyond the outer wall thereof. To attain this objective, the opposed arms of each U-shaped bar extending upwardly from its fastening base-plate for supporting the opposite ends of each pintle, is curved inwardly towards the parting line, with the apertures at the ends thereof for each pintle disposed coaxially in each coplanar terminal portion of each arm.
