Pop-up handle assembly

A pop-up handle assembly for operating a latch comprising, a base, a handle supported by said base for axial and rotational movement, a drive member supported by said base for connection to a latch, means interconnecting said handle and drive member for rotation together and relative axial movement, locking means locking said handle against axial movement, a key-plug mounted in said handle for rotational movement between locked and unlocked positions and for axial depressing movement when in unlocked position, means preventing depression of the key-plug when in locked position, and coacting means on the key-plug and said locking means to release the locking means by depressing the key-plug when the latter is in unlocked position to release the handle for axial movement.

A handle assembly comprising, a base, a handle supported by said base for rotational movement, a driven mechanism supported by said base, means interconnecting said handle and driven mechanism for rotation together, locking means for said handle, a key-plug mounted in said handle for axial movement and for rotational movement between locked and unlocked positions, means preventing axial movement of the key-plug when in locked position, and coacting means on the key-plug and said locking means to release the locking means by depressing the key-plug when the latter is in unlocked position.

A pop-up handle assembly comprising, a base with a planar mounting panel and a tubular housing, a hollow sleeve rotatable in said tubular housing and drivingly connected to a drive-bar, an exposed handle having a tubular stem movable lengthwise in said hollow sleeve and keyed thereto for rotation therewith, spring means mounted within the hollow sleeve for urging the tubular stem outwardly of the hollow sleeve, a key-plug mounted in said tubular stem for rotational and axial movement, means preventing axial movement of the key-plug in a locked position thereof, releasable locking means for locking the tubular stem and hollow sleeve against rotation and movement of the tubular stem outwardly of the hollow sleeve, and means on the key-plug operable in response to axial movement thereof to release said releasable locking means to permit movement of the handle and tubular stem outwardly of the hollow sleeve and rotation of the handle and hollow sleeve to rotate the drive bar.

A pop-up T-handle assembly comprising, a base with a generally planar mounting panel and a tubular housing, a T-handle having a section with a peripheral lip which in handle-closed position encloses the mounting panel and precludes rotation of the T-handle, means urging the T-handle section to an operative position remote from said mounting panel, a drive-bar rotatably mounted by the tubular housing, means within the tubular housing for drivingly connecting the T-handle with the drive-bar, a depressible key-plug carried by the T-handle, means locking the T-handle in closed position, means operable upon depression of the key-plug to release said locking means and permit pop-up of the T-handle, and means operable by rotation of the drive-bar when the T-handle is in closed position to release said locking means and permit pop-up of the T-handle independent of the locked or unlocked condition of the key-plug.

A pop-up handle assembly comprising, a base with a generally planar mounting panel and a tubular housing, a handle having a section which in handle-closed position engages the mounting panel and precludes rotation of the handle, means urging the handle section to an operative position remote from said mounting panel, a drive-bar rotatably mounted by the tubular housing, means within the tubular housing for drivingly connecting the handle with the drive-bar, a depressible member carried by the handle, means locking the handle in closed position, means operable upon depression of the depressible member to release said locking means and permit pop-up of the handle, and means operable by rotation of the drive-bar when the handle is in closed position to release said locking means and permit pop-up of the handle independent of the depressible member.
