る。 First, as shown in FIG.
15B through the notch holes 18 and 19, and further slide it in the direction of the arrow in FIG.
15B is placed on the slide parts 16 and 17. In this state, slide the fulcrum members 15A, 15B in the direction of the tip indicated by the arrow in FIG. To resist pressure and overcome it.
Therefore, the fulcrum member 15A is held between the locking projection 20 that has climbed over and the tall locking projection 21 on the distal end side. Similarly, the fulcrum member 15B is held between the locking projections 22 and 23. In this state, the fulcrum member 15A has an upper surface connected to the elastic plate 26, a lower surface connected to the fulcrum surface 24, and both sides connected to the locking protrusions 20, 21.
The fulcrum member 15B is also rotatably locked in the space surrounded by the elastic plate 27, and the upper surface of the fulcrum member 15B is similarly pressed against the elastic plate 27. Therefore, the handle 10 is assembled into the cabinet 1 with the tip of the side portion 13 rotatably supported.
