<p>An applicator (10) for particulate compositions having a horizontally oriented apertured dispensing container (14), wheels (12) on either side, and an improved upright handle apparatus. The handle apparatus includes a yoke (18) with a cross member (22), a mounting bracket (30) affixed to the cross member, a pivotably attached slide mount which is preferably a support tube (38), a slidably mounted elongated handle (42), and lock members (48, 54, 56) on the mount and handle for selectively securing the handle member in the slide mount in either an upright use position or a horizontal carrying/storage position. The lock members are preferably spring-loaded button members with buttons receivable in a lateral opening in the support tube. A socket (58) in the bracket base (32) provides rigid connection of the handle member to the cross member. A stand (60) extends from the cross member to a floor-engaging distal end (62) so that the handle is off the ground while the applicator is untended.</p> |
