ABSTRACT:
An operating handle mechanism for remotely actuating a closure latch including a handle mounted on a housing by a pivot. A coil spring anchored on the pivot has a first end seated on the housing and a second end seated on the handle to bias the handle to a normal unactuating position. A yieldable plastic button member mounted on the housing projects into the path of movement of the second end of the spring during actuating movement of the handle. During movement of the handle to the actuating position the second end of the spring is carried into engagement with the yieldable plastic button member and is temporarily unseated from the handle, and then snaps past the button member to again seat on the housing during further movement of the handle to the full actuated position, thereby providing a perceptible audible and tactile signal to the operator confirming actuation of the handle and the remote latch actuated thereby.
