Abstract: A handle for a pot, pan or other container which includes two plates which are welded to the container as carriers for the handle and which are located substantially in the fixing direction of the handle, each plate having two oblique edges orientated at an obtuse angle to one another, and at least one spring which, when the handle is pushed on to the handle-carrier plates, becomes tensioned by means of one of the oblique edges and which towards the end of the push-on movement, comes in behind the other edge of the carrier plate, and then presses the handle on the one hand against the container and on the other hand against the carrier plates for the handle.

Abstract: A handle for a pan or lid. At least one spring is provided on the handle for holding the handle body to either the lid or the pan. The spring is received in a groove formed in the handle body and is in the form of a leaf spring having a bent over portion forming a hook. A cross-piece is provided and is secured to either the pan or the lid. The back side of the hook is braced against a shoulder formed on the handle body and the hook portion is urged into resilient engagement with the cross-piece to hold the handle body onto the pan or lid.
