Claim:
A passenger handle assembly for an elevator, including a handle having an elongated cylindrical shape to be gripped by a passenger, and being fixed to an inner wall of the elevator car by fasteners such as bolts, the handle assembly comprising: a plurality of substantially semi-cylindrical fixing members separated a pre-determined distance from each other on the inner wall of the elevator car, each fixing member being fixed to the inner wall by at least one fastener while extending a predetermined distance from the inner wall, and including a first horizontal wall formed at a lower end of the fixing member and having an opening formed at an intermediate portion thereof along an entire length of the horizontal wall, the opening having a width preventing a head of the fastener from passing through the opening; and a plurality of substantially semi-cylindrical handle supports slidably fitted into the fixing members, respectively, and coupled at a leading end to the handle, each handle support including a vertical partition formed slightly inside the leading end of the handle support, and a second horizontal wall formed at a lower end of the handle support, the vertical partition defining a space with respect to the handle and having a through hole formed through the vertical partition to allow another fastener such as a cross-head bolt to penetrate the partition, the second horizontal wall having an opening formed at an intermediate portion thereof along an entire length of the second horizontal wall so as to correspond to the opening of the first horizontal wall, the opening of the second horizontal wall having a width preventing the head of the fastener from passing therethrough, wherein, with the handle securely fixed to the leading end of the handle support by the fastener, each handle support is inserted from a trailing end thereof to an inner space of an associated fixing member, adjusted to a desired distance with respect to the inner wall of the elevator car, and securely fixed to the fixing member by the fasteners through the openings of the first and second horizontal walls.
