Abstract
An appliance provided with a base which has a working end and a handle structure provided with a lower barrel portion which is pivotally attached to the base. The barrel portion is provided with a pair of peripheral slots that cooperate with the pivotally mounted arms of a lift-off mechanism so that the working end of the appliance is selectively raised and lowered by the user pivoting the handle structure. An end of the barrel is provided with a pair of spaced-apart recesses which cooperate with the detent on a locking plate so that the handle structure may be locked into its storage position and provided with a maximum pivot limit in its operative range.
