ABSTRACT:
A door handle device unlockable from indoor side of refrigerators, which device enables a person trapped in a refrigerator by accident to escape therefrom speedily by a simple operation. This handle device comprises a handle unit fastened to a door, and a latch receiver unit fastened to a wall of a refrigerator. The handle unit consists of the fixed seat attached to the door, a movable body connected to the fixed seat by a pivot, a latch member, and an operating handle for driving the latch member. The door handle device also has a setting bolt, an operating portion is positioned in the inside of the refrigerator. The setting bolt is inserted into a threaded bore provided in a rear portion of the movable body to fix the movable body to the door.
