Simplified integral inside and outside handle and operator for a latch member for closures

A handle for a movable closure such as a screen having at least one edge frame, said closure being movable into engagement with a framing structure therefor;

• said handle comprising a first inside flexible handle member and a second outside flexible handle member each having a mounting portion for mounting to said at least one edge frame, said mounting portions and said first and second handle members being adapted to extend in a direction substantially normal to the direction in which the closure moves, said first inside flexible handle member and second outside flexible handle member for inter-fitting with one another to provide said handle, said first inside flexible handle member including, a first abutting part including a bearing surface for abutment with said second outside flexible handle member, and a resilient latch finger formed integrally therewith and extending from the plane of the first inside flexible handle member so as to engage in a latching relationship with a latch portion provided with said structure, said resilient latch finger being deflectable generally towards and away from the plane of the closure to allow it to engage with said latch portion, said second outside flexible handle member including a second abutting part having a bearing surface for abutment with the first bearing surface of said first inside flexible handle member, wherein when said first inside flexible handle member is flexed in a first direction the resilient latch finger will be placed in a position to disengage said latch portion, and wherein when said second outside flexible handle member is flexed in said first direction said second bearing surface of said second abutting part thereof will engage said first bearing surface of said first abutting part of said first inside flexible handle member thereby causing said first inside flexible handle member to flex in said first direction placing said resilient latch finger in a position to disengage said latch portion, thereby providing a simple inside and outside latch release for said closure, wherein said mounting portions for each of said inside and outside handle members includes flanges having integral screw ports which inter-fit to mount to said edge frame, and wherein a gap is provided between said abutting part and said mounting part.
