ABSTRACT:
A pivotal connection between a handle and a housing including a pivot defining member biased outwardly into frictional contact with concentric openings in a handle and housing. The member includes a sleeve portion with an outer diameter O.sub.S substantially equal to or less than the diameter of the housing and handle openings, the sleeve portion further including a tubular opening having a selected inner diameter I.sub.S. The member further includes a longitudinally extending pin portion circumscribed by a reference cylinder having a diameter D.sub.C and an end section inscribing a reference cylinder having a diameter D.sub.I, where D.sub.I .ltoreq.I.sub.S <D.sub.C <O.sub.S, Circumferentially disposed connecting segments project radially outwardly from the pin portion end section and are breakably secured to the sleeve portion. The sleeve portion and pin portion are initially longitudinally secured end to end at circumferentially spaced locations, with the pivot defining member being assembled with the handle and housing by locating its sleeve portion within the housing and handle openings and then breaking the connecting segments by forcing the pin portion into the sleeve portion tubular opening.
