Abstract
An improved releasable handle assembly for power driven lawn and garden devices is disclosed. The improved handle assembly includes a 'handle to pivot pin' connection for releasably attaching the handle assembly to pivot pins. Coactive with the 'handle to pivot pin' connection is an improved 'handle to deck' latching system. The deck includes a pair of offset tower assemblies defining inclined forward and rearward handle positions. A latching mechanism is mounted to said handle assembly for telescopic movement thereon through a limited range of motion for releasably engaging said handle tower assemblies. An operator must disengage the latch mechanism from the handle tower to permit selective pivotal movement of the handle assembly to the opposite inclined position.
