FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view of the door handle of FIGS. 1 and 2, with the left side elevational view being a mirror image thereof.

The broken lines in FIG. 1 showing one exemplary appliance employing the door handle of the invention and the broken lines depicting terminal door handle mounting brackets in each of FIGS. 1-3 are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed invention.
