Handle fixture for hand cart or trolley - has split stub expanded into tubular handle by taper screw inserted axially

摘要

The fixture secures a tubular handle end (6) between brackets formed as U-shaped tubes (3) or rods, which may be the side posts of a pushcart. Housing parts (1b, c) hold the curved end of the U-bend. - The complementary parts have a concave profile (2b, c) corresponding with the U-tube (3), whilst one part (1b) has a projection (5b) inserted into the handle end (6) and expandable into this. The projection is longitudinally slotted and expands by fitting a tapered screw (8b) which also secures the parts together.
