Abstract
The present invention relates to a handle member having a tab which, when pushed, allows the handle to be hingedly rotated from a resting position to a position substantially perpendicular to a faceplate member. In particular, the present invention relates to a D-ring handle having a tab, whereby the D-ring handle is hingedly connected to a faceplate member.
Claims22
