Abstract: A handle can be fastened to a main body by way of screws and includes a main profiled part having two receiving portions and at least two slot nuts, which each have a threaded hole for receiving one of the screws. One slot nut each is inserted in a receiving portion and can be clamped in the receiving portion when a screw, which passes through the main body, is screwed into the threaded hole. The clamping of the slot nuts generates tensile stresses which pull the main profiled part in the direction of the surface of the main body and thus secure the main profiled part to the main body.
