Abstract
Description




FIG. 1 is a upper left perspective view of a door handle for an appliance, showing my new design;




FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the door handle of FIG. 1 illustrating black, low gloss end portions arranged on either side of a bright, central knurled portion; and,




FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view of the door handle of FIGS. 1 and 2, with the left side elevational view being a mirror image thereof.




The broken lines in FIG. 1 showing one exemplary appliance employing the door handle of the invention and the broken lines depicting terminal door handle mounting brackets in each of FIGS. 1-3 are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed invention. Instead, it should be understood that the door handle of the invention can be utilized with a wide range of appliances, including, for example, refrigerators, ice makers, gas grills, wall ovens, and washing machines.
