Bügelgriff

Bügelgriff is a German term that translates to "bow handle" or "bail handle" in English. It refers to a type of handle that is curved or U-shaped, resembling a bow. This design is commonly found on various objects where a comfortable and secure grip is needed for carrying or lifting.

Bügelgriffe are frequently seen on buckets, suitcases, toolboxes, and some types of furniture. Their simple yet effective design allows users to easily grasp and transport items, distributing weight evenly. The curved shape also facilitates hanging these objects when not in use. Materials used for Bügelgriffe vary widely, including metal (such as steel or aluminum), plastic, and wood, chosen based on the object's intended use and aesthetic. The flexibility of the handle, allowing it to fold down against the object, is another practical advantage of this design.
