ABSTRACT:
An electrically-powered appliance, such as a line-type grass trimmer, lawn edger, snowthrower, or the like, includes a housing, an elongated hollow tubular handle, an elongated electrical cable extending through and within the tubular handle, and an attachment arrangement for attaching the tubular handle to the housing. The housing includes an attachment portion and a removable portion, preferably of a common "clamshell" configuration, with fasteners extending through openings in these housing portions for fastening them to one another with the tubular handle securely clamped therebetween. Such tubular handle has openings extending laterally therethrough which correspond to the openings through the attachment and removable housing portions. The housing openings and the handle openings are laterally aligned with one another during assembly in order to ensure proper alignment and positioning of the handle when the housing portions are fastened to one another with the handle clamped therebetween. In order to further assure such proper alignment, and to facilitate ease of maintaining such proper alignment while the fasteners are inserted through the housing and handle openings, the housing portions each preferably include internal annular bosses surrounding their respective housing openings. The openings in the tubular handle are sized to receive the internal annular bosses on the housing portions in order to aid in the proper alignment and the maintenance of such proper alignment during assembly.
