Bissell Clearview Bagless vacuum handle won't stay in upright position?

On a Bissell ClearView Bagless Power Trak, Model #3594, vacuum cleaner, what is the part called that holds the handle in the upright position? A foot lever releases it. Whatever it is, it's broken and won't stay up. I can still vacuum but the handle is constantly falling over and banging up the wall and furniture. Help. IF I get another on, how do I go about replacing the broken one on the machine?

I have a bissell vacuum that the same part broke on. I tried to super glue it but it broke again... my sister has a bissell and her's broke too... these things are junk I'll never buy another bussell.
