Abstract
A handle for a cable, the handle including a vertical portion extending along an axis and having a side surface with a portion thereof parallel with the axis and an end surface generally perpendicular to the axis. A blind bore is defined in the vertical portion extending from the end surface with an axis substantially parallel to the axis. A recess is defined in the side surface extending substantially perpendicular to the axis and intersecting with the blind bore. A push nut has a base with an opening therethrough and at least one gripping member extending into the opening. The push nut is positioned in the recess such that the opening and the gripping member are aligned with the blind bore.

A handle for a cable, the handle comprising:
- a vertical portion extending along an axis and having a side surface with a portion thereof parallel with the axis and an end surface generally perpendicular to the axis;
- a blind bore defined in the vertical portion extending from the end surface with an axis substantially parallel to the axis and configured to receive the cable;
- a recess defined in the side surface extending substantially perpendicular to the axis and intersecting with the blind bore;
- and
- a push nut having a base with an opening therethrough and at least one gripping member extending into the opening, the push nut positioned in the recess such that the opening and the at least one gripping member are aligned with the blind bore such that the gripper is configure to engage the cable once inserted into the blind bore.
A handle for use on a latch release cable, the handle comprising:
- a gripper portion;
- a projecting portion that extends from the gripper portion;
- and
- an angular portion that is connected with both the gripper portion and the projecting portion;
- the projecting portion extends away from the gripper portion to define a free end,
- the projecting portion has a recess that is spaced from the gripper portion and configured to receive a push nut,
- a blind bore extends from the free end toward a user portion and is aligned to intersect the recess, and
- a push nut in the projecting portion recess is positioned so a gripper associated with the push engages the latch release cable inserted in the bore and secures the handle on the latch release cable.
