Abstract
A handle assembly that pivotally mounts a handle adjacent to an opening of a vehicle includes a bracket and an end portion or cap portion of a handle. The end portion and bracket engage one another to substantially secure the handle in either an in use position or a storage position. The end portion and bracket include projections and correspondingly formed recesses that engage one another to limit or substantially preclude pivotal movement of the handle without first raising the handle to disengage the handle and cap portion from the bracket. The handle assembly may include an illumination source to provide illumination of the handle in low lighting conditions.
