Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure provides a handle assembly for a door having a handle aperture, the handle assembly comprising a housing, a cover plate and a transmission device. The housing defines an accommodating cavity, a receiving channel and an operating cavity, and has a housing opening, wherein the receiving channel is located at a rear side of the housing opening, the accommodating cavity and the operating cavity are respectively located at the opposite upper side and lower side of the receiving channel and interconnected to each other through the receiving channel. The accommodating cavity of the housing is configured to accommodate the cover plate when the cover plate is in an open position, and the operating cavity of the housing is configured to at least partially accommodate an operator's hand for opening the door. In the handle assembly of the present disclosure, when the cover plate is in the open position, the cover plate and the operating element are respectively located in the accommodating cavity and the operating cavity, so that the cover plate will not hinder the operator's hand from operating the operating element, so as to prevent the operator's hand from hitting the cover plate.
