Abstract
An improved handle assembly for selectively carrying or releasing the contents of a disk cartridge or the like. The handle is a U-shaped member with a housing pivotally mounted between the open ends of the U-shaped member and which may rotate therebetween. The housing contains movable dogs for latching the housing to the arms of the U-shaped handle so that an assembly which is connected to the housing will move when the handle is released if the housing is latched to the arms by movement of the dogs.
