Abstract
A guide handle of a handle assembly for an industrial machine such as a walk behind trowel has the open-ended handlebar characteristics of a so-called 'bicycle' style guide handle and the belly bar and gripping versatility characteristics of a 'whale tail' style guide handle. The belly bar spans the gap between the two handgrip portions, and both portions are mounted on a center post of the handle assembly at the bottom leg of a generally U-shaped mounting portion. The mounting portion can be welded or otherwise affixed to a post of the handle assembly at any desired angle, thereby permitting the orientation of the guide handle to be optimized for a given guide handle height.
