Abstract: A handle made from a plastic material is used to grip support blades of household utensils, in particular kitchen knives. It consists of two handle halves resting on both sides of the support blade and terminating flush with the rim of the support blade and solidly joined together by rivet elements. To lower manufacturing costs for mass-produced articles and simultaneously ensure firm seating of the support blade in the handle, one of the handle halves is integral with at least two projecting rivet sockets and the other handle half is integral with an equal number of corresponding rivet pins. The rivet sockets are such in their outside diameters that they pass with slight play through the passage holes in the support blade and in that they are pressed hard in position against the edge of the passage holes when the rivet pins are introduced.

Abstract: An upholstery button including a cap and a lower part adapted to be joined together. The button is adapted to press and hold a cover fabric against a padding and the lower part includes means which anchors to the padding. The cap and lower part are secured to the cover fabric so that it covers the cap and forms radial folds outwardly of the button. The method of assembly facilitates assembly of several upholstery buttons to the cover fabric in one operational stage.
