A novel glove-box door handle and latch mechanism is disclosed, having a housing member, a handle member, and an actuator member. The housing member is mounted inside of the glove box door, and the handle member includes an axle member which is pivotally mounted to the housing member. The actuator member is slidably disposed in the a channel inside of the housing member, and the handle member engages the actuator member to slide it between its open and closed positions. The handle member includes a pull member and arcuate extension arms connecting the pull member to the axle member to provide greater flexibility to the styling of the pull member. The arcuate extension arms include reinforcing ridges to minimize the necessary material while maintaining their structural rigidity.
