Abstract
The invention relates to a door handle, comprising a handle located on the visible side of the door and a support ( ) for said handle which is fixed onto the reverse side of the door. The handle has connecting elements at both extremities which penetrate recesses in the door, whereby one extremity is connected to a lever ( ′) which is mounted on a pivoting support ( ). A housing which can contain a locking cylinder is inserted into the support ( ) next to the handle. According to the invention, in order to simplify the assembly of the handle, a retaining element ( ) is positioned between the support ( ) and the lever ( ′) which, in its usual active retaining position, secures the lever in a defined pivoted position, pointing outwards. The handle can be connected easily to the lever in this pivoted position. However, when the housing is inserted into the support, the retaining element ( ) is displaced into its inactive position, where it releases the lever ( ′).
