Talk:Handle (grip)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It seems pretty clear that a bar rotated by gripping just with the fingertips -- a Camelback-brand hiker or cyclist's hydration system opens this way -- is also a handle, but it brings you close to what i'm less sure of: does your eagle-claw grip on the edges of a screw-top jar top (fingers spread rather than parallel) make the edge of the top a handle? I don't think a screw-top bottle cap belongs in this article, and it's hard to be sure in drawing the line. I mean, we're talking about drawing a line, not finding the line, IMO.

I've left out a fire-door panic bar and the lever of an old-fashioned well pump (you push, not pull), and handle bars and steering wheels. Plenty of writing to do, and IMO this is nearly all right and verifiable but not verified.
