Abstract
A handle assembly is provided for carrying a container such as a cooler. The assembly includes a bracket having a pair of spaced mounting members, a pin extending from each of the mounting members, and a handle having a member terminating in a pair of pin-receiving channels joined to a pair of spaced grip members. The assembly utilizes the pins for rotating or sliding the handle with respect to the bracket. The container can be carried by moving the handle from a resting position to a carrying position using one of two distinct modes of movement provided by the handle assembly.
