ABSTRACT:
A drawer handle can be removably mounted over a drawer front without fasteners or the like. The drawer front has a recessed region to facilitate opening the drawer, and the drawer handle can be snap-locked onto the drawer front to cover the recess and provide an optional means of opening the drawer. The drawer handle is of inverted U-shaped channel configuration including elongated front and rear flanges extending along a narrow base of the channel. The front and rear flanges can be spread apart to facilitate slipping the channel over the drawer front so the base of the channel rests on the upper edges of the drawer front, and the front and rear flanges overlie front and rear faces of the drawer front. The rear flange covers the recess in the drawer front, while the front flange is foreshortened relative to the rear flange and extends across the mid-point of the recess to provide a means for opening the drawer. A locking flange extending along the bottom edge of the rear flange projects into a slot adjacent a rear face of the drawer for snap-locking the handle into releasable engagement with the drawer front. Projecting ribs adjacent the rear face act as stops against lateral sliding movement of the handle. The front and rear flanges can be spread apart to release the locking flange from engagement with the slot so the channel can be removed from the drawer front.
