However, the guiding and fastening device according to the invention (depending on the means of attachment: oblique screw guide) may be provided in the cavity of the first component, e.g. is designed as a depositor, forming an undercut, which requires an access from the front to be constructed and demoulded in one-piece design tool just. Thus, according to this variant of the handle holder according to the invention, it would not be possible to demould this undercut from the front if the guiding and fastening device were integrally formed in the cavity of the second component having the device for holding the door handle. Depending on the embodiment, however, the first component can have an opening at the front or even be completely open in order to be able to remove said undercut relatively easily.
Somit ermöglicht es der erfindungsgemäße Griffhalter aufgrund seiner zweiteiligen Ausführung, diesen vorne geschlossen auszuführen.Thus, the handle holder according to the invention makes it possible, due to its two-part design, to perform this closed at the front.
