A folding handle device (10) is disclosed, mountable to an article to be carried, having a rotatable U-shaped handle (20) with leg members adaptable to pivotally receive a mounting shaft (30), each leg member having a base having planar surfaces (23, 25) such that the handle can be held upright or folded. The device further includes two mounting shafts rotatably mounted to the handle through apertures in a planar mounting surface (70) and are retained in place by a nut (50). A spring (40) between the nut and the bottom side of the mounting surface bias the mounting shaft away from the planar mounting surface. The handle is adapted to facilitate axial movement of the shafts relative to and perpendicular to the planar mounting surface as the handle is rotated between the upright and folded positions, wherein when the handle is either in the upright or folded position, the spring is under a compressive load, and during the transition from folded to upright positions, the spring is under a greater compressive load than that when the handle is in the upright or folded position. |
