Window rotating handle

A window operator handle securable to the casement window operating drive shaft, said handle being movable between a first position to a second position, said handle comprising a body housing, the body housing having a top surface and a pair of side surfaces that form a cavity in the housing, said cavity having an assembly body secured to said housing, a pivotal member positioned in a first section of said assembly body and a sliding member positioned in at least a second portion of said assembly body, said pivotal member being adapted to pivot from a first position to a second position as said handle is moved from a first position to a second position, said pivotal member having a protrusion extending from a side of said pivotal member and contacting a side of said sliding member, said pivotal member being held in said first position and said second position by said sliding member, said sliding member being retained in contact with said pivotal member by a spring means in said assembly body;

• and
• wherein said assembly body has a base and a rear wall extending upwardly from said base, said base also having a pair of sidewalls extending upwardly from said base and connected to opposite edges of said rear wall thereby forming a cavity for receiving said pivotal member;
• wherein each said sidewall of said assembly body has a first sidewall portion and a second sidewall portion and said assembly body having a wall extending from the sidewall portion of one sidewall to the sidewall portion of the opposite sidewall, said sidewall portion and said wall forming a second cavity for receiving said sliding member.
