Abstract

This recessed handle (10) may find particular use for refrigeration units, such as freezers and coolers, and includes a front wall (14) having a cut-out wall portion (30) bent to extend inwardly about a bend line (42) to leave a compatibly configurated opening (50). The handle (10) includes an outer frame member (32) for the opening (50) and an inner frame member (34) for the cut-out wall portion (30). The frame members (32 and 34) cooperate to provide a re-entrantly formed portion opposite the bend line (42) providing a finger hold and the frame members are connected by threaded fasteners (94).
