Abstract
A handle has at least one holding plate which can be mounted in an opening in a thin wall such as a sheet-metal cabinet door, a head part, such as a flange or turning handle, which covers the rim of the opening of the thin wall on its (outer) side, and a body part which proceeds from the head part and can be pushed through the opening in the thin wall, and a holding part which is carried by the body part, supported on the other (rear) side of the thin wall, and is separate from the body part. According to the invention, the holding part is formed by holding elements which project in a flexible manner from the body part in the direction of its outer surface and whose free end has an inclined surface for supporting the body part on the rim or edge of the opening without play.

A handle comprising:
- at least one holding plate which can be mounted in an opening in a thin wall such as a sheet-metal cabinet door;
- a head part, such as a flange or turning handle, which overlaps the rim of the opening of the thin wall on its (outer) side;
- a body part which proceeds from the head part and can be pushed through the opening in the thin wall;
- a holding part which is carried by the body part, supported on the other (rear) side of the thin wall, and being separate from the body part;
- said holding part being formed by holding elements which project in a flexible manner from the body part in the direction of its outer surface and having a free end having an inclined surface for supporting the body part on the rim or edge of the opening without play;
- and
- two holding elements which are arranged diametrical to one another being provided and being acted upon by pressure elements such as spring arrangements, particularly a coil spring common to the two holding elements, or two coil springs, or wedge arrangements such as conical screws.
A handle comprising:
- at least one holding plate which can be mounted in an opening in a thin wall such as a sheet-metal cabinet door;
- a head part, such as a flange or turning handle, which overlaps the rim of the opening of the thin wall on its (outer) side;
- a body part which proceeds from the head part and can be pushed through the opening in the thin wall;
- a holding part which is carried by the body part, supported on the other (rear) side of the thin wall, and being separate from the body part;
- said holding part being formed by holding elements which project in a flexible manner from the body part in the direction of its outer surface and having a free end having an inclined surface for supporting the body part on the rim or edge of the opening without play;
- said holding elements being formed by a leaf spring that is bent in a suitable manner;
- and
- said leaf spring being inserted into a radially extending cavity formed by the body part.
A handle comprising:
- at least one holding plate which can be mounted in an opening in a thin wall such as a sheet-metal cabinet door;
- a head part, such as a flange or turning handle, which overlaps the rim of the opening of the thin wall on its (outer) side;
- a body part which proceeds from the head part and can be pushed through the opening in the thin wall;
- a holding part which is carried by the body part, supported on the other (rear) side of the thin wall, and being separate from the body part;
- said holding part being formed by holding elements which project in a flexible manner from the body part in the direction of its outer surface and having a free end having an inclined surface for supporting the body part on the rim or edge of the opening without play;
- a head part with a flange that covers the outer rim or edge of the opening after mounting;
- said body part proceeding from the head part and extending through the opening after mounting and holding at its end a substantially U-shaped spring which is supported on the inner edge of the opening by the ends of its legs;
- and
- said spring being a flat structural component part with respect to a plane and having U-legs which are cut off at the end substantially at right angles to their extension such that when mounted they are supported on the opening rim or opening edge with a slight inclination relative to the plane of the thin wall.
