Handle bar for doors on kitchen furniture and the like.

The invention relates si Ch ₁ to handle bars for doors on kitchen furniture and the like. ₉ which are coated with elastic plastic foam.

In DT-OS 2 447 873 there is a manufacturing process for a door described, which consists of a coated core plate, which is foamed with polyurethane integral foam is. The resulting surface is elastic, scratch-resistant and, thanks to rounded corners, safe from injury.

The DT-GM 7 526 315 is a door with a front panel made of Duropal, whose integrated handle strips are made of foamed polyurethane.

The essential part of the directly foamed grip strips is that the different door formats and color variants require high storage capacities. When directly foaming the handle bar, there are also sealing problems that can be done before the I-iontage require. Another disadvantage is that the grip strips are subject to high stress and durability of the liaison offices in Braies.

In order to achieve a uniform coloring of the handle bar, It is almost always necessary to paint the surface. However, since the grip element is subject to very high mechanical loads this paintwork is worn off very quickly. About the ~ high mechanical stress on the handle element there is also a high level of chemical stress from z. B. Saline residues on the fingers of housewives while cooking.

The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a handle strip that is suitable for the highest continuous loads to be developed with an elastic surface, possibly rounded at the corners, which with minimal tooling and inventory overhead can be used for a variety of different kitchen models.

The handle strip for doors on kitchen furniture and the like., which is coated with elastic plastic foam, is characterized according to the invention in that a Made of rigid material, the core of the handle bar, which is split across at any point, on the visible Surfaces are covered with foamed plastic and between the side parts made of metal, plastic or the like existing handle element is inserted flush.

The advantages of the invention are to be seen in particular in the fact that the handle bar through the stable grip element a sufficiently long service life of the door in question is achieved. Furthermore, the with a highly elastic support provided side parts of the handle bar prevents the risk of injury, since the Working in the kitchen through open furniture doors can cause injuries.

A major advantage is that the same handle strip for doors with left or right Door stop; and is equally suitable for doors with front pull-out. It also reduces the number of required Tools for the production process, as there is a minimum number of pieces for all grid widths of a model of tools is required and intermediate dimensions for fitting pieces are easily produced by simply shortening them can be.

Further features of the invention emerge from the subclaims. The invention is shown below the drawings explained in more detail. Show it:

1 shows a door with an attached handle strip in the front view,

Pig. 2 a section through a side part of the handle strip,

Pig. 3 a section through a side part of the handle bar without side plugs,

Pig. 4 shows a section through the handle element the handle bar,

Pig. 5 a section through a side part

the handle bar with a metal core made of extruded profile,

Pig. 6 shows a section through the handle element of a wall cabinet.

The one in Pig. 1 illustrated door 1 of a cupboard consists of a directly coated door leaf 2, on the door side 3 of which is remote from the hinge there is a handle in a subdivided handle strip 4 is placed. The handle bar 4 consists of the two side parts 5, 6 (Fig. 1) and a handle element 7, which is made of metal, plastic or similar material is made. As can be seen from Fig. 2, the two side parts 5,6 a continuous core 8, which consists of aluminum, PVC or another suitable material.

The core 8 may be formed as a hollow profile and at the bearing surface to be 9 equipped with a harpoon strip 10, which is pressed into a groove 11 of the door leaf 2 expedient tinter addition of a suitable adhesive.

The side parts 5, 6 are rounded at the outer ends. The core 8 is covered with a cover layer 12 made of foamed elastic plastic, which is preferably 6 to 7 mm thick. Due to the elastic cover, the side parts 5 »6 are suitable for cushioning impact loads so that the risk of injury is avoided. The stability of the grip strip 4 is increased by the solid core 8, since the elastic cover yields only slightly.

The grip element 7 is located between the two side parts 5, 6 used, the connection end face 13 carries a harpoon web 14, which is also in the groove 11 of the door leaf 2 intervenes. The outer profile 15 of the handle element 7 is the outer profile 16 (Fig. 2) of the side parts 5,6 adapted.

The handle element 7 is designed so that it can be used in all directions and can be used for all widths of door 1.

Depending on the arrangement of the grip element 7 in the grip strip 4, the side parts 5 and 6 only need to be attached to the corresponding one Body to be separated.

The two side parts 5, 6 and the handle element 7 existing handle bar 4 can also be used for equalizing cabinets and the side panels 5,6 by shortening the side panels can be used for various adapters.

The core 8 can be designed in different ways. In Fig. 2, the core 8 consists of a hollow profile which closed by a plug 17 at each end

In Fig. 3, the hollow profile is not closed by closing plugs, so that the cavity is also filled with foam.

In Fig. 5, a further embodiment of the core 8 * is shown.

The core 8 and 8 'can, however, also consist of a harder one Consist of plastic and z. B. be made with the top layer in the multi-component injection molding process.

The door leaf 2 shown in Fig. 4 with the handle element 7 ^f can, for. B. belong to a base cabinet. The panel 18 arranged above it can also belong to a drawer or to another door.

The grip element 7 shown in FIG. 6 can, for. B. at be arranged on the door of a wall unit. In addition, for design reasons, the side panels 5 and 6 form an “undivided bar without a handle element 7”.
