A guide handle (46) of a handle assembly (20) for an industrial machine such as a walk behind trowel (10) has the open-ended handlebar characteristics of a so-called "bicycle" style guide handle and the belly bar and gripping versatility characteristics of a "whale tail" style guide handle. The belly bar (58) spans the gap between the two handgrip portions (60), and both portions are mounted on a center post (44) of the handle assembly at the bottom leg of a generally U-shaped mounting portion (62). The mounting portion can be welded or otherwise affixed to a post of the handle assembly at any desired angle, thereby permitting the orientation of the guide handle to be optimized for a given guide handle height. <IMAGE> |
