The first arm member defines a proximal end and a distal end. A hand-grip is coupled to the proximal end of the first arm member. A second arm member is pivotally coupled with the distal end of the first arm member. The second arm member defines a distal end. A dispenser holding assembly is supported at the distal end of the second arm member. The dispenser holding assembly is configured to hold a dispenser. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A handle assembly, comprising: a first arm member defining a proximal end and a distal end; a hand-grip defined at the proximal end of the first arm member; a second arm member pivotally coupled with the distal end of the first arm member, the second arm member defining a distal end; a plurality of finger grip indents formed in a rear surface of the second arm member; and a dispenser holding assembly pivotably coupled with the distal end of the second arm member, wherein the dispenser holding assembly defines a bottom surface thereof, wherein the dispenser holding assembly is configured to hold a dispenser, wherein the dispenser holding assembly is configured to at least partially circumferentially surround a bottom portion of the dispenser, and wherein the bottom surface of the dispenser holding assembly is configured to conceal the bottom portion of the dispenser. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The handle assembly of claim 1, wherein the dispenser is a cylindrical dispenser. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The handle assembly of claim 2, wherein the dispenser holding assembly is configured to completely circumferentially surround the bottom portion of the cylindrical dispenser. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The handle assembly of claim 1, wherein the first arm member or the second arm member define a curved profile. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The handle assembly of claim 1, further including a hinge pivotally coupling the first arm member to the second arm member. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The handle assembly of claim 1, further including a locking mechanism configured to prevent pivoting of the second arm member with respect to the first arm member. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The handle assembly of claim 1, wherein the hand-grip defines a recess therein, the second arm member configured to be at least partially received in the recess when the first arm member and the second arm member are in a folded configuration. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The handle assembly of claim 1, wherein the dispenser holding assembly defines a spherical side surface extending from the bottom surface and defining a spherical receiving sleeve, the spherical receiving sleeve configured to receive the bottom portion of the dispenser. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The handle assembly of claim 8, further including a plurality of raised panels extending from the spherical side surface, the plurality of raised panels spaced apart from each other and configured to securely and removably hold the dispenser in the spherical receiving sleeve of the dispenser holding assembly. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The handle assembly of claim 9, further including at least one orifice formed through the spherical side surface, the at least one orifice configured to increase a flexibility of the spherical side surface. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The handle assembly of claim 1, further including at least one pivot arm at the distal end of the second arm member, and a pivot extension extending from the dispenser holding assembly, the pivot extension pivotally coupled to the at least one pivot arm and configured to allow pivoting of the dispenser holding assembly with respect to the second arm member. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The handle assembly of claim 1, further including a proximal end portion defined by the hand-grip, and an open proximal end defined at the proximal end portion of the hand-grip, the open proximal end of the hand-grip configured to receive the second arm member therein. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The handle assembly of claim 1, further including a proximal end portion defined by the hand-grip, a closed proximal end defined at the proximal end portion of the hand-grip. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The handle assembly of claim 1, further including a locking mechanism configured to prevent pivoting of the second arm member with respect to the first arm member, the locking mechanism including a first stop member configured to be releasably engaged with the first arm member and a second stop member configured to be releasably engaged with the second arm member. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The handle assembly of claim 1, further including a locking mechanism configured to prevent pivoting of the second arm member with respect to the first arm member, the locking mechanism including at least one stop member, the at least one stop member configured to prevent pivoting of the first arm member with respect to the second arm member. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The handle assembly of claim 1, further including at least one pivot arm at the distal end of the second arm member, and a pivot extension extending from the dispenser holding assembly, the pivot extension pivotally coupled to the at least one pivot arm and configured to allow pivoting of the dispenser holding assembly with respect to the second arm member, the pivot extension including a plurality of stop members configured to prevent pivoting of the dispenser holding assembly with respect to the second arm member.
