Abstract
In a magnetic recording disc cartridge having a recording disc contained within an upper housing and a separably mating lower housing, an improved latch and handle assembly includes a lift assembly means attached to a handle assembly which is pivotally mounted to the upper housing. The handle assembly has a cavity, a pair of spring bias means within the cavity, and an urging means adapted to urge against the spring bias means in a direction substantially perpendicular to the pivot axis and to retain the spring bias means in the cavity. The spring bias means are adapted to move from a first position wherein the handle assembly is adapted to receive the lift assembly means, to a second position wherein the spring bias means is adapted to capture the lift assembly means.
