Claims13
A handle assembly for operating a locking device having a locking member adapted to be moved between a locking and a non-locking position by manipulation of a manoeuvring member of the locking device, the handle assembly comprising:
- a first and a second handle lever;
- a rod shaped interconnection member defining two opposite ends each of which is adapted to be received in a passage of the first and/or second handle lever, the interconnecting member being adapted to extend through the locking device such that the interconnection member engages the manoeuvring member, whereby manipulation of one of the handle levers causes the locking member to be moved between the locking and the non-locking position;
- and
- a fastening means for fastening the interconnection member to one of the handle levers when the interconnection member is inserted into the passage of the respective handle lever, and
- wherein the fastening means has a fastening position in which the fastening means unidirectionally locks the interconnection member for movement out of the handle lever while allowing further movement of the interconnection member into the handle lever.
