ABSTRACT:
A two-piece door handle for refrigerators and freezers is mounted on the edge of the doors by two fasteners. The handle includes a plastic molded part and a metal stamping. The plastic molded part provides a recess in which the entire metal stamping is positioned. Shoulders surrounding the recess engage all of the edges of the metal stamping, obscuring them from view and preventing user contact with such edges. The recessing of the metal stamping eliminates the need to provide a finish coating on the edges of the metal stamping. The molded plastic part provides a mounting flange portion positioned between a mounting flange portion on the metal stamping and the associated door. Therefore, metal-to-metal contact is prevented. The two pieces of the handle are easily snapped together as an assembly and are easily installed on the associated door.
