Utensil handle for fastening on bolts

In a utensil handle consisting of a handle member of plastic having a front opening recess for the receiving of a bolt which is adapted to be secured to a utensil wall, a cross section of said recess in said handle member and a cross section of the bolt being conformed with one another and both have a polygonal cross section, said bolt being provided with a notch having a sloped surface so that said bolt and said handle member are held together frictionally with a spring which is held in said handle member and acts onto said sloped surface of said bolt, the improvement comprising wherein a back of said spring lies approximately in an insertion direction of said handle member in said recess, wherein said spring is pivotally supported about at least one bearing point on said handle member, wherein said spring has in said insertion direction two support points for said bolt, said support points lie spaced from one another, wherein means are provided for effecting a tensioning of said spring only when both said support points rest on said bolt when said bolt is inserted a majority of the way into said recess, said handle becoming attached and said spring being tensioned when the bolt is moved the remainder of the way into said recess to a fully inserted position, said spring remaining untensioned at all other times during an insertion of said bolt into said recess in said handle, and wherein said support points of said spring are guided for movement perpendicularly with respect to said insertion direction of said bolt to facilitate a keeping of said spring from becoming tensioned until said support points both engage said bolt.
