A detachable handle assembly for a vessel includes a slotted mounting plate connected to the vessel and a handle grip with a latching assembly connected at one end. The latching assembly releasably engages the slotted mounting plate to connect the handle grip to the vessel. The latching assembly includes a base plate and a cover with an engagement tip formed at a forward end thereof and a spring biased cam latch slidably mounted in spaced relation below a lower surface of the base plate. The engagement tip includes a leg extending below the base plate of the latching assembly and a foot extending forward from the leg. The latching assembly is connected to the mounting plate by holding the handle grip at an angle relative to the mounting plate and inserting the engagement tip foot into a slot in the mounting plate. The handle grip is then pivoted downward until the cam latch engages a distal end of the mounting plate, causing the spring biased cam latch to move rearward around the distal end of the mounting plate and then back forward beneath the mounting plate, securing the mounting plate between the cam latch and the base plate of the latching assembly.

[ I claim:] [1.]1. A detachable handle assembly for a utensil comprising:a) a mount attached to a utensil, said mount having a slot and a distal end;b) a handle having an attached latching assembly, said latching assembly having an engagement tip and a latch with a front cam surface, said latch being linearly moveable along a latch slide axis and biased forward; andc) a lever moveably disposed in said latching assembly, and attached to said latch by a post oriented generally transversely to said latch slide axis; whereind) when said engagement tip is placed in said slot and said front cam surface of said latch is brought downward into contact with said distal end of said mount, said latch moves around said distal end and beneath said mount, engaging said handle to said utensil; and when said lever is moved rearward, said latch moves around said distal end of said mount, and is lifted to disengage said handle assembly from said mount.
