  • Patent number: 6119385
    Abstract: A combination door handle and graphic display is formed by securing a display between an opaque first body portion and transparent second body portion. A rear side surface of the transparent second body portion is fused to a front side surface of the opaque first body portion and a graphic display decal is mounted to the front side surface of the transparent second body portion. The front side surface of the transparent second body portion is fused to the rear side surface of a transparent third body portion to fixedly secure a graphic display therebetween. The graphic display is visible through the transparent third body portion and the opaque first body portion provides a backdrop against which the graphic display contrasts. The transparent second body portion spaces the graphic display decal relative to the opaque first body portion such that the display appears in a foreground relative to the backdrop.
