Abstract
A rotary paddle handle assembly for vehicle closures and the like includes a horizontally pivoting handle with a tab, a vertically reciprocating rack disposed adjacent the tab and a pinion engaged with the rack. The pinion is configured for operable connection with an associated latch, such that when the handle is lifted, the tab shifts the vertically reciprocating rack and rotates the pinion for unlocking the latch.
