ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a handle assembly for a refrigerator. According to the present invention, there is provided a handle assembly for a refrigerator. The handle assembly comprises a pair of handle holders each of which is formed with a cavity therein and mounted onto a front surface of a door by means of a screw that is fastened to the front surface of the door through the cavity; a handle body which is positioned between the handle holders and which is fastened to the handle holders by means of screws that penetrate the handle holders and are fastened thereto; and a handle cover elastically mounted to front ends of the handle holders and the handle body. According to the present invention, since the handle assembly can be mounted to the front surface of the door at the front of the door, the man-hour needed for the assembling works and the production costs can be reduced. Further, the external appearance of the handle assembly and the door can be made more elegant and the handle assembly can also be easily assembled to the door.
