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.
Claims15
A handle comprising:
- at least one holding plate which can be mounted around an opening in a thin wall;
- a head part, which overlaps a rim of the opening on one side of the thin wall;
- a body part which proceeds from the holding plate 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 side of the thin wall, and being an individual part;
- said holding part being formed by holding elements which project in a flexible manner from the body part to the outside of the body part and have a free end having an inclined surface for supporting the body part on an edge of the opening without play;
- the holding elements including a substantially U-shaped spring;
- the head part having a flange that covers the rim of the opening after mounting;
- said body part proceeding from the holding plate and extending through the opening after mounting and holding at an end of the body part the substantially U-shaped spring which is supported on the inner edge of the opening by the ends of legs of the U-shaped spring;
- and
- said U-shaped spring being a planar structural component part 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 edge with a slight inclination relative to the plane of the thin wall.
