ABSTRACT:
A handle assembly has a handle member secured to a stem by a fastener device which includes a coupler member secured to the end of the stem and snap fittingly engaged to an insert member which in turn is rigidly secured to the handle member. The coupler member has axially extending flanges with radially extending shoulders which engage a shoulder on the insert member. The shoulders of the insert and the coupler member have inclined surfaces that provide the handle to be connected onto the stem upon exertion of a force of predetermined magnitude in the axial direction. The coupler member and the insert member have a second pair of inclined surfaces which provide for disengagement of the insert member from the coupler member at a force of greater predetermined magnitude than the connecting force.
