Definitions

• the present invention refers to a refrigerator door handle, which involves a series of relevant and advantageous features compared to those currently used in this type of apparatus.
• the refrigerator doors are formed by an outer metal panel and an inner plastic panel, existing between them an insulating material.
• the upper and lower edge have trim covers that are fastened between screws.
• these trim profiles include recesses to form handle elements for opening the doors where it is installed, since the front of the refrigerator can include different doors, with the particularity that these handle elements can be used in both right and left opening refrigerators.
• the depression or hollow provided for the handle and which is not to be used, is hidden and concealed by a cover.
• the door handle of the refrigerator is determined by a recess made in each of the extreme areas of the trim profile, determining an ascending partition for access and grip of the fingers of the user. Since these recesses exist at both ends, the door can be mounted to open left or right, as we have indicated above.
• the embellishing profile and with functions of handle presents in the area of the recesses a section in "U" of unequal branches and whose ends are turned on themselves to fit in the edge of the door. also fixing it with screws.
• trim profiles can be arranged on the upper edge of a door and on the lower edge of the one located at the top, opening by reversing the position of the fingers, respectively.
• the handles can also be mounted in parallel position if desired, that is, arranged on the upper edges, or on the lower edges, as appropriate.
• This cover also includes teeth orthogonal to its rear wing, to engage behind the turned portion of the branches of the "U" cross section of the trim profile.
• the upper edge of the embellishing profile or more specifically a front vertical wing or flange thereof, interrupts its horizontal course to deviate in parallel and configure the opening that allows the introduction of the fingers, thus continuing until reaching the recess of the other side, sealed by the lid.
• FIG. 1 It is an elevation view of a refrigerator that includes two doors provided with handles according to the invention.
• Figure 2 It is a partial and elevational view of the trim profile that fits on the upper edge of the bottom door of the refrigerator of Figure 1 and includes the opening handle.
• Figure 3. It is a bottom plan view of that shown in Figure 2.
• Figure 4. It is a top plan view of that shown in Figure 2.
• Figure 5. It is a rear elevation view of Figure 2 and also corresponds to the plan view of Figure 4.
• Figure 6. It is a section along the cutting line A-A of Figure 2.
• Figure 7. It is a section along the cutting line
• Figure 8 It is a section along the D-D cut line of Figure 5.
• Figure 11 It is a partial section along the E-E cut line of Figure 3.
• Figure 12. It is an elevational view of the cover that fits into the recess of the trim profile that is not to be used as the handle itself.
• Figure 13 It is a bottom plan view of that shown in Figure 12.
• Figure 14 It is a top plan view of what is shown in Figure 12.
• Figure 15 It is a rear elevation view of the same cover.
• Figure 17 It is a cross section of the trim profile with the cover mounted in the recess that is not to be unused.
• the front flange 7 covers the edge of the front plate of the refrigerator door, in the area of the recess 4, this flange continuing along the entire profile, as clearly seen in Figure 2.
• FIG. 1 we can see this cover 14 located on the right side of the refrigerator and both on the upper door 2 and on the lower door 1, since these doors are opening to the right.
• the cover 14 closes the recess 4 superiorly and laterally, whereby it has an upper horizontal wall 15 and a main wall 16 that descends from its leading edge and is finished off in an arcuate shape at its ends 17 to be located coplanar and raised.
• This recess 18 and what we have called descending wall 16 have the same geometry as they complement each other.
• the cover 14 Parallel to the descending wall 16, the cover 14 also has a rear wing 19, thus determining an inverted U-shaped cross section in the mounting position of the lid, as shown in Figure 17 .
• the cover 14 is slidably mounted vertically as it has the guiding means defined by the triangular vertical projections 20 and 21 that are inserted into the recess 4, being attached to its dintorno. This same mission also has the lateral fins 22 for lateral immobilization. There are also means for interlocking of the cover 14, defined by the teeth 23 that are orthogonal to the rear wing 19, which are located behind the edge of the turned flange 8 of the trim profile 3, precisely in the area where it has notches 24 (see figure 5) .
