ABSTRACT:
A disposable plastic handle and shield in the form of a first embodiment including a unitary injection molded hollow handle with a threaded upper end portion for engagement with a threaded receptacle on the luminaire of a hospital operating room. An integral, generally circular shield is connected to the handle between the threaded upper end portion and a lightly knurled portion of the handle. The shield includes a pair of spaced apart grooves on its underside, one on each side of the handle serving as live hinges and defining a pair of segments capable of being folded down against the knurled handle or upward against the threaded end of the handle to facilitate packaging. A second embodiment has a shield similar to the first embodiment but which is separate from, rather than integral with, the plastic handle. The shield has a central aperture with a thread that engages the thread of the handle and guides the shield down into abutting engagement with a shoulder integral with the handle at the base of the handle thread.
