A demountable, lightweight, tubular appliance handle is shown, having two or more tubular sections. The tubular sections are interfitted by a C-shaped elongate spring connector normally press-fitted in one of the tubular sections to a point approximately one-half the length of the connector member to accomodate the next adjacent tubular section for slidable mounting on the exposed end of the spring connector member. A collar is slidably disposed adjacent the outer end of the spring connector member to provide a wiping action along the exposed end of the connector member as the adjacent tubular section is slidably mounted thereon, such that the tubular section following the wiping action of the collar is more prone to removal than the next adjacent tubular section. The collar retention flange has flanking undercuts to receive the tubular element.
