Abstract

A door panel formed with a throughgoing hole carries adjacent the hole a shaft pivotal about an axis and having radially projecting retaining formations. An assembly body engaging the panel around the hole carries a movable handle. Retaining formations on the body are engageable with the shaft retaining formations in a predetermined angular holding position of the shaft. The body formations are disengaged from the shaft retaining formations in an angularly offset freeing position of the shaft. The shaft formations are cam lobes and the body has an inwardly extending projection formed with a seat snugly receiving the shaft formations in the holding position of the shaft.
