To construct a detachable handle for a pot or container so that it is both slender and short, the pot or container handle is mountable on a supporting member of the container having two side pieces oriented in the same direction extending from the container and is engageable and lockable by a retaining member secured behind inclined projections on said supporting member and slidably supported parallel to the container wall between handle shoulders located transverse to the attaching direction of the handle. The retaining member of the handle can be a rigid bar which is associated with a spring element, has a flame protector surrounding the handle contacting portion and is inserted in lateral grooves opening to the container front side and running along both long sides on the container side handle end portion. The supporting member side pieces can also each be inserted in each of the lateral grooves. The spring element acting to secure the retaining member can be a leg spring inserted in a cavity between the lateral grooves braced with one spring leg on the bar to secure it and with the other spring leg held in place in the handle. The lateral grooves for the side pieces are covered exteriorly by the flame protector.
In a handle, especially made of plastic, for a container such as a pot or the like, which handle is mountable on a supporting member extending from a wall of said pot having two side pieces identically oriented, which handle is lockable through a retaining member that is clampable behind inclined projections on said supporting member and slidably supported substantially parallel to said wall of said container or top between handle shoulders positioned transverse to the mounting direction of said handle, said retaining member being a rigid bar which is associated with a compressible spring element and which has a sleevelike flame protector surrounding the container or pot side end portion of said handle at least over a portion of its periphery, the improvement wherein a lateral groove is provided in said pot side of said handle open on each longitudinal side of said end portion, each of said side pieces of said supporting member being insertable in each of said lateral grooves and said spring element being a substantially U-shape shank spring having two spring legs and which is insertable in a central cavity positioned about equidistant between said lateral grooves and oriented substantially identically with respect to each of said lateral grooves and said spring supports itself with one of said spring legs and grips with the other one of said spring legs.
