HANDLE ASSEMBLY FOR GRILL

摘要

A handle (10) includes a strap (12) having a central portion (14) and a pair of legs (16) depending therefrom. The central portion (14) is substantially covered by an insulating material (18) which extends down a portion of each leg (16). The insulating material (18) has an arcuate upper profile (20) and an arcuate lower profile (22). Ribs (28) running generally transverse to the length of the handle are provided on the lower arcuate profile (22). The legs (16) are arcuate. The insulating material is applied as a first, upper part (30) and a lower part (32) which define a channel (34) between them to accommodate the strap (12). In a preferred embodiment, a thermally isolated bolt (42) joins the first and second parts (30, 32) together. Various other features to improve grip, control, and safety of a grill lid or bowl used in conjunction with the handle (10) are disclosed.
