Name of a type of puzzle

What is the name of a puzzle which has one word linking 2 others ie the end of one and the start of the other. An example might be:

DOOR ?????? BAR

The answer could be 'handle' ie Door handle and Handlebar.

Does anyone know what there are called so that I can try to search for them online? Or even better does anyone know a website where I could print lots of them off? (with answers of course!)

Thanks.

Think "link"
They are called LINK WORDS, but I don't think you can print a load of them off. I use various sites for solving them, which include:

and

hope this helps.

Thanks for your answers tommy and Thewinner but I was looking for a site that might have a good few of them that I could play.

However now that I know that they are called Link Words, I can at least do a better search.

Thanks.
