Abstract:
1. A door handle for a sliding door comprising: a handle base adapted for mounting on the sliding door; a handle pivotally mounted on the handle base for rotation about a pivot axis; a pair of clips mounted to the handle base on opposite sides of the handle; a pair of sliding wedges insertable into the corresponding clips; a pair of opposed pivot pins corresponding to the pair of clips and mounted within respective clips, the pivot pins being axially slidable along the pivot axis towards and away from each other and into and out of engagement with the handle to hold the handle in pivoting relationship to the handle base when the pivot pins slide axially towards each other, the handle being removable from the handle base when the pivot pins axially slide away from each other; wherein the pair of sliding wedges correspond to the pair of opposed pivot pins, each wedge being movable between a second position and a first position, each wedge preventing axially sliding motion of its corresponding pivot pin away from the opposed pivot pin when in the second position and allowing axially sliding motion of its corresponding pivot pin away from the opposed pivot pin when in the first position whereby the handle may be removed when the pair of sliding wedges are in the first position and the pivot pins have been moved axially away from each other.
