Abstract
Handle mechanism provided for mounting in an opening extending wholly through a door, the handle mechanism comprising a first plate for closing the opening at the position of a first side of the door, a second plate for closing the opening at the position of a second side of the door and an intermediate plate placed between the first and second plates, wherein the first and the second plate are each connected via spring means to the intermediate plate so that each of the first and the second plate are movable substantially against the intermediate plate by an external force, wherein the intermediate plate is provided for movable placing in the door so as to increase an overall space for movement of each of the first and the second plate.

Handle mechanism provided for mounting in an opening extending wholly through a door, the handle mechanism comprising a first plate for closing the opening at the position of a first side of the door, a second plate for closing the opening at the position of a second side of the door and an intermediate plate placed between the first and second plates, wherein the first and the second plate are each connected via spring means to the intermediate plate so that each of the first and the second plate are movable substantially against the intermediate plate by an external force, wherein the intermediate plate is movable in the door so as to increase an overall space for movement of each of the first and the second plate.
A method for mounting a handle mechanism in an opening extending wholly through a door, the method comprising;
- providing a first plate for closing the opening at the position of a first side of the door, a second plate for closing the opening at the position of a second side of the door and an intermediate plate placed between the first and second plates, wherein the first and the second plate are each connected via spring means to the intermediate plate so that each of the first and the second plate are movable substantially against the intermediate plate by an external force, wherein the intermediate plate is movable in the door so as to increase an overall space for movement of each of the first and the second plate;
- placing the intermediate plate in said opening;
- placing the first and second plates through respectively the opening at the position of a first side of the door and the opening at the position of the second side of the door.
A door with an opening extending wholly through the door, the door comprising a handle mechanism provided for mounting in the opening, the handle mechanism comprising a first plate for closing the opening at the position of a first side of the door, a second plate for closing the opening at the position of a second side of the door and an intermediate plate placed between the first and second plates, wherein the first and the second plate are each connected via spring means to the intermediate plate so that each of the first and the second plate are movable substantially against the intermediate plate by an external force, wherein the intermediate plate is movable in the door so as to increase an overall space for movement of each of the first and the second plate.
The door as claimed in 14, wherein at least one of the first and second plates comprises a surface provided to lie in the plane of the side of the door for the purpose of closing the opening, which surface preferably has the same colour and texture as the side of the door.
