A handle assembly () is shown. The assembly includes a rotatable, spring handle () with a plunger () having a first engagement feature or surface () for receipt of a spring force; a trigger device () in operative connection with the handle; and a blocking member () movable with the handle and rotatably mounted on the handle, the blocking member including a latch at a distal end thereof (). The blocking member is in operative connection with the trigger device and a portion of the latch is retained by a remote retention surface () when the assembly is in a locked configuration. Upon sufficient mechanical movement of the trigger device and the blocking member, the latch is no longer restricted by the retention surface.
