ABSTRACT:
A bracket for pivotally mounting a handle adjacent to an opening of a vehicle includes a handle receiving portion adapted to receive an end of the handle, a pivot pin for pivotally mounting the end of the handle at the handle receiving portion, and at least one mounting hole or aperture. The handle receiving portion is configured to retain the end of the handle such that the handle is in an in use position or a stored position. The pivot pin extends downward from the handle receiving portion and includes a biasing member to bias the handle at either position. The mounting aperture is accessible for securing the bracket to a surface of the vehicle when the pivot pin and the handle are assembled to the bracket. The bracket and the handle thus may be mounted to the wall of the vehicle as a pre-assembled unit.
