Abstract
A combination handle/bracket member is provided for use with a device, such as a suction pump, that is operated in conjunction with a separate component, such as a collection jar. The member is preferably a single-piece member with a 90.degree. bend separating a manual grasping area from a component receiving area. Also preferably the member is secured to the device with fasteners that are already used to secure portions of the device together so that no additional fasteners are required.
