Abstract
A bracket for carrying an accessory appliance on an elongate handle of a primary appliance comprises a bracket body which is contoured to fit on the handle in a sleeve-like manner. The bracket body is pivoted to the primary appliance by a pivot pin which also pivotally connects the handle to the primary appliance. The bracket has a pocket which slidably receives and supports one end of the accessory appliance. Means are provided on the bracket for releasably attaching the accessory appliance to the bracket. This attachment means is in the form of resilient snap action detents which engage recessed body portions of the accessory appliance. The bracket holds the accessory appliance in a close parallel relationship to the handle and provides for the convenient removal of the accessory appliance from such held condition and replacement of the accessory appliance in such held condition.
