ABSTRACT:
A handle assembly for brushes, curlers and the like is assembled without adhesives and includes, in a preferred embodiment, an elongate handle core, a bellows, an outer handle and a fastener. Assembly includes sliding the bellows over the core, placing the handle over the core and compressing the bellows to align at least one opening in the handle with at least one opening in the core. The fastener is then inserted. The fastener preferably includes at least one prong or cluster of prongs to pass through the opening of the handle and into the core. In the most preferred embodiment, the fastener prongs are resilient and expand within the core opening to lock the handle assembly together. One disclosed use of the handle is for hair curling brushes. In this embodiment, a cup is formed integrally with the core, the cup including an alignment rib and locking tabs. A first end of a cylindrical, metallic curling brush body is attached to the cup, and a cap is inserted into the second end of the barrel. Accordingly, the entire curling brush may be assembled without using adhesives.
