The ends of the handle bar which form a part thereof. F may be of any suitable design.

This invention relates to casket handles The gripping or central portion of the s5 and more particularly to the construction 0 handle bar is formed, as more particularly the handle bar. shown in Fig. 5, of a plurality of sheet metal.

Handle bars have been formed with a core plates H and I, which are stamped out. in of wood or metal and a superimposed tube substantially U shape in cross section. Each .15 of metal formed in suitable design. Conof the parts H or I may be formed, .as 7

siderable difiiculty has been experienced in shown more particularly in Fig. 3, of five the formation of these tubes and the presfaces, K and L, and when the two parts are out invention consists of the formation of a assembled by inserting the outer faces L of tube or gripping surface by a plurality of the part 1 within the outer faces Kbft he parts secured together on their lateral ed es. plate H, as shown more particularl in Fig. The parts of the handle are so assembled as 4, the whole gripping portion wil present not to disclose in the ordinary use of the eight surfaces, or in other words, be of handle that thohandle is made up of a octagonal form in cross section.
