Claims
- 1. A D-ring handle comprising:
(a) a D-shaped ring member having a curved leg and a base; and, (b) at least one tab integrally connected to the base top edge, with the D-shaped ring member rotatably attached to a substrate member.
- 2. The D-ring handle of claim 1, wherein the base of the D-shaped ring member is rotatably attached to the substrate member.
- 3. The D-ring handle of claim 2, wherein the base includes a block member integrally attached to the base, the block member includes a hole which passes through the block member, and the substrate member includes a pair of opposed protrusions, which receive and hold a pin member, which passes through the block member to rotatably attach the D-shaped ring member to the substrate member.
- 4. The D-ring handle of claim 2, wherein the base includes at least two tube members integrally attached to the base, and the substrate member includes a pair of opposed protrusions, which receive and hold a pin member, which passes through the tube members to rotatably attach the D-shaped ring member to the substrate member.
- 5. The D-ring handle of claim 1, wherein the tab has an outer edge shape selected from the group consisting of triangular, U-shaped, square, rectangular, rounded, and combinations thereof.
- 6. The D-ring handle of claim 1, wherein the tab projects at an angle away from the D-ring handle.
- 7. The D-ring handle of claim 1, wherein the substrate member has an outer flange and a recessed portion for receiving the D-ring handle.
- 8. The D-ring handle of claim 3, wherein the base is L-shaped to form a ledge.
- 9. The D-ring handle of claim 4, wherein the base is J-shaped to form a curve.
- 10. The D-ring handle of claim 2, wherein the base is a rectangular shaped rod.
- 11. The D-ring handle of claim 1, wherein the curved leg of the D-shaped ring member is hingedly attached to the base of the D-shaped ring member.
- 12. The D-ring handle of claim 1, wherein a pair of opposed supports are hingedly attached to a foot member, which rotates relative to the substrate member to actuate a latch member.
- 13. The D-ring handle of claim 1, wherein the D-ring handle is used on emergency vehicles.
- 14. The D-ring handle of claim 11, wherein the base includes two integrally attached tabs.
- 15. The D-ring handle of claim 14 wherein the curved leg is hingedly attached to the base by a pin member, the pin member passes through the base and is inserted into the ends of the curved leg.
- 16. The D-ring handle of claim 15, wherein a spring member is slideably attached to the pin member.
- 17. The D-ring handle of claim 1, wherein the curved leg includes two protrusions on the back of the curved leg, substantially perpendicular to the curved leg.
- 18. The D-ring handle of claim 17, wherein the base includes a bolt at each end of the base.
- 19. A handle for use with emergency vehicles, with the handle comprising:
(a) a ring member having a leg and a base; and, (b) at least one tab integrally connected to the base top edge, with the ring member rotatably attached to a faceplate.
- 20. The handle of claim 19 wherein the leg is hingedly attached to the base by a pin member.
- 21. The D-ring handle of claim 20, wherein a spring member is slideably attached to the pin member.
- 22. The D-ring handle of claim 20, wherein the curved leg includes two protrusions substantially perpendicular to the curved leg.
- 23. The D-ring handle of claim 19, wherein the base includes a bolt at each end of the base.
- 24. A D-ring handle for use with emergency vehicles, with the D-ring handle comprising:
(a) a D-shaped ring member hingedly attached to a faceplate, the D-shaped ring member having a curved leg and a base, the leg and base hingedly attached to one another by a pin member, the pin member passes through the base and is inserted into the ends of the curved leg; (b) at least one tab integrally connected to a top edge of the base, with the base of the D-shaped ring member rotatably attached to a substrate member, wherein the substrate member includes a pair of opposed supports hingedly attached to a foot member, which rotates relative to the substrate member to actuate a latch member; (c) the base includes two integrally attached tabs; (d) the base further includes a bolt at each end of the base; (e) a spring member is slideably attached to the pin member; and (f) the curved leg includes two protrusions substantially perpendicular to the curved leg.
