The accompanying illustration shows a simple method of constructing a neat and strong handle for a box, or a drawer. The handle is fashioned from two similar shade roller brackets which are fastened in place by means of screws at the points where the handle is needed. A piece of pipe or tubing is positioned between the brackets and is held in place by a stiff wire or other rod which passes through the tubing and the openings in the brackets, having the ends hammered down or riveted at the outside of the bracket. The tubing may be of brass or any other suitable material adapted for the purpose, and preferably tending to add to the appearance of the handle. The ends of the tube should be inserted in the concavities of the brackets, as is shown most clearly in the sectional view.
