Abstract
A handle system for dental operatory lights of the type in which a light head is mounted to be moved in space and oriented in direction to focus and direct light through a lens includes a pair of mounting posts carried at opposite sides of the light, the posts being approximately mirror image duplicates of each other, and a pair of approximately identical interchangeable symmetrical handle members. Each handle member includes a mounting head portion and a grip portion. The mounting head has a transverse channel extending between its opposite sides, having a cross-sectional configuration adapted to register with either of the posts. The opposite sides of the mounting head are configured as a hilt. The grip is held at a canted orientation with respect to the lens. The mounting heads and posts carry intercooperable latching structure.
