Definitions

  • Document US7,984,955 discloses a refrigerator with a recessed handle of the type above.
  • a recess is formed in any one of an upper portion and lower portion of a door and a shield is mounted at a front surface of the door, thus defining a handle.
  • the shield also has an aesthetic function in that it contributes to the aesthetic appearance of the door.
  • a door opening device is mounted in the recessed handle and is hidden by the shield.
  • the shield may either be made as a separate component mounted to the door, or integrally formed with the front wall of the door.
  • Document JP2006-194545A discloses a handle for a refrigerator.
  • the handle with a recess is attached within a door cap and is mounted at the upper edge to the lower edge of a door surface material.
  • Parts of the handle, the door cap and the surface material define a gap filled by a heat insulating material provided to a door inner board.
  • the handle also forms a storage space for control components. An operating panel covers this storage space.
  • door-integrated handles comprising a sheet-metal member formed by bending starting from a flat plate in order to obtain a U-shaped profile to be fitted in a door cavity.
  • An idea of solution underlying the invention is to provide a door-integrated handle assembly comprising a handle element and a cover element configured to be assembled to one another by way of a combination of snap-fit connectors, as well as guiding ribs.
  • the handle element 110 may be configured as a top or bottom closing element of the door D, defining a cavity to be filled with an insulating foam together with a front wall, a rear wall and a further closing element arranged at the opposite end of the door in the vertical direction Z.
  • the cover element 120 is configured as a fascia having a front portion 121 extending in the longitudinal direction X and side portions 122, 123 extending at the ends of the front portion 121 in a transverse direction Y perpendicular to the longitudinal direction X and to the vertical direction Z.
  • the cover element 120 has an aesthetic function in that it is meant to be mounted on the periphery of the handle element 110 to provide a smooth surface substantially flush with the surface of the front wall of the refrigerator door D.
  • two rows of tabs may advantageously be formed on the cover element 120 at its top and bottom edges in the vertical direction Z.
  • Two rows of teeth are correspondingly formed in the top and bottom edges of the handle element 110.
