(54)	Return spring arrangement for handle

(57) A return spring arrangement for a handle in a door lock or a door latch comprises a body part (1) provided with restricting members (5, 6) for a spring (3), and a spring casing (2) to be rotatably connected to the body part, which spring casing, when installed, encloses both the restricting members (5,6) and the return spring (3) of the handle, the ends (3a, 3b) of which are arranged to cooperate with said restricting members (5, 6). The spring casing (2) is adapted, at least substantially, to be embedded in the body part (1) so that it forms a compact unit, which is arranged to be installed entirely into a countersink made in a door or the like, between the handle plate and the door lock or the door latch, and to be fastened by utilizing the fastening screws of the handle plate.
