Abstract
A lock handle and rotating shaft combination mechanism includes a handle having a tubular socket extending axially. The socket includes a connection portion and a protrusion. A tubular rotating shaft includes a securing member formed radially to the rotating shaft. The securing member is located corresponding to the connection portion. A guiding slot is defined axially in the distal end of the rotating shaft. When the protrusion is engaged with the guiding slot, the rotating shaft expands radially outward, and the securing member is engaged with the connection portion to connect the handle to the rotating shaft. No tool is required during the assembling processes to reduce time for assembling the combination mechanism.
