Abstract
An assembly for a recessible carrying handle is provided for a battery having a container and cover. The assembly comprises: an elongated recess in the top surface of the cover; an elongated recess in opposing side wall surfaces of the cover, which cover side recesses communicate with the ends of the cover top recess; an elongated recess in opposing side wall surfaces of the container, which container side recesses communicate with the cover side recesses; a pair of tongues projecting from the side walls of and into each container side recess; a generally U-shaped handle having two limbs connected by a cross piece; a pair of grooves in the sides of each handle limb, which grooves are adapted to slidably receive the tongues; and a pair of slots in the grooves, which slots are adapted to allow passage of the tongues in and out of the grooves; whereby the handle may be attached readily and without significant distortion to an otherwise completely assembled battery and upon attachment is slidably received in the recesses.
