Definitions

  • the present invention relates to handles, and more particularly to handles for home appliances, and methods for manufacturing a handle.
  • Handles are conventionally used in doors and drawers of pieces of furniture and home appliances, for example in ovens and refrigerators. Such handles are arranged in doors, on lids or drawers, to help users open said elements. Handles conventionally comprise three bodies, a central body the user grips to open or close a door, for example, and two side bodies, each attached at one end to one end of the central body, and at the other end to said door.
  • Patent document ES2182651 A1 describes a handle for pieces of furniture and home appliances comprising a central body which is a metal tube open at its ends, and two side bodies which are two metal tubes open at their ends.
  • the handle also comprises attachment means which are assembly bodies housed under pressure in the respective ends of the central body and of the side bodies, said ends of the central body abutting with the respective ends of the side bodies.
  • JPS60154826A discloses a handle for a home appliance according to the preamble of claim1.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a handle for a home appliance and a method for manufacturing a handle, as defined in the claims.
  • a handle for a home appliance comprising a central body in the form of a grip and two side bodies through which the central body is attached to the home appliance.
  • the central body and the side bodies are part of an initially straight single main body, the main body comprising two transverse folding cuts through which the main body is folded, the central body and the two side bodies being generated by means of said folding.
  • the handle comprises attachment means for fixing the side bodies to the central body when the main body is bent along the transverse bending cuts.
  • the main body is a tubular part, and the attachment means comprise for each side body an attachment element which is introduced through a respective outer end of the side bodies once the main body is bent along the transverse bending cuts, an end of said attachment element being fixed to the central body.
  • Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for manufacturing a handle such as the one defined above.
  • the handle of the invention comprises a central body which the user employs to grip the handle, and two side bodies forming with the central body a single part that is the main body.
  • the main body comprises two bending cuts
  • the central body and the side bodies are separated from one another, although they are still attached by the main body section that has not been cut by the bending cuts, and said bending cuts allow bending the side bodies on the central body, and the handle is still a single part.
  • Figure 1A shows an elevational view of one embodiment of the main body 10 of the handle 100 of the invention before being bent
  • Figure 1B shows a plan view of the main body 10 of Figure 1A
