ABSTRACT:
A connecting assembly for connecting a handle member to a utensil. The utensil has an outer face to which is secured a support member of polygonal cross section and adapted to have the handle member attached thereto. The handle member includes a frontal cavity with a cross section generally conforming to that of the support member. The cavity is generally larger in cross section than the cross section of the support member. A spring member is provided and includes two integrally connected surface portions arranged at an angle to each other and is oriented between a pair of surfaces on the support member and a pair of interior wall surfaces in the cavity. The spring member includes structure for creating a spring force biassing the handle member in a direction transverse to the support member so that at least two wall surfaces on the support member will be urged into a direct form-fitting engagement with two other wall surfaces in the cavity. The spring member also includes a locking portion for releasably positively fixing the spring member to the support member.
