Claim Text:
1. A reversible handle device comprising: a housing; a handle portion rotatably disposed on the housing and rotatable relative to a long axis thereof; a reversible member connected to the handle portion and rotatable with the handle portion, a first slot and a second slot being formed on the reversible member, and the reversible member being used for switching the handle portion between a first orientation status and a second orientation status; a stopping member disposed on a side of the reversible member in a manner of being movable in a direction parallel to the long axis, the stopping member being biased toward the reversible member by an elastic member in the direction parallel to the long axis such that the stopping member protrudes into the first slot and the second slot so as hold the handle portion in the first orientation status and in the second orientation status, respectively, wherein the stopping member has a stopping structure, the stopping structure is used for stopping a first side or a second side of the first slot to hold the handle portion in the first orientation status and be correspondingly located at a first initial position or a first stop position when the reversible member rotates together with the handle portion, and the stopping structure is further used for stopping a third side or a fourth side of the second slot to hold the handle portion in the second orientation status correspondingly located at a second initial position or a second stop position when the reversible member rotates together with the handle portion; and a return member disposed between the housing and the reversible member for driving the handle portion to return to the first initial position when the handle portion is in the first orientation status and for driving the handle portion to return to the second initial position when the handle portion is in the second orientation status; wherein the elastic′, member elastically abuts against the stopping member and the housing and is oriented along the direction parallel to the long axis; wherein when a force is applied to the stopping member, the stopping member compresses the elastic member and moves toward the handle portion along the direction parallel to the long axis, so as to be disengaged from the first slot and the second slot, respectively, so that the handle portion can rotate freely, allowing the handle portion to be switched between the first orientation status and the second orientation status.
