Definitions

  • THIS INVENTION relates to handles for cupboard doors, drawers and the like.
  • a handle the visually outer surface of which is formed from at least three components connectable together and held so connected when operatively mounted in position, at least two of the components differing in colour.
  • the handle to be a rounded knob type handle comprising first, second and third components, the first component having means for attaching it to a surface, the second and third components being of annular shape, the means in use passing through the centre of the second and third components.
  • the means may be in the form of a hollow shaft adapted to receive a screw fastener to attach it to a surface.
  • the handle may comprise a substantially "U” shaped handle having two free ends, the handle formed of at least three “U” shaped strips connectable together, the two free ends adapted to be attached to a surface.
  • the operatively outer strips may include peg and socket type connectors which pass through the central strip and engage each other to connect the handle together.
  • connection means for connecting it to other components of the handle.
  • Connection means may be located in two or more components, the connection means interconnecting in use to hold the components together.
  • the connection means on two components may together comprise a peg and socket type connection means.
  • the connection means on one component may clip together with a connection means on another component.
  • the handle may of course be formed from more than three components.
  • the handle components will be available in different colours and thus a handle having a multiple colour combination may be assembled using different coloured components.
  • the components will be manufactured from a suitable plastics material using a suitable moulding technique.
  • a rounded knob type handle is shown composed of three parts namely a base 1, an intermediate part 2, and cap 3.
  • the peripheral rim 4 of the base 1 is adapted to fit against the outer surface 5 of a panel 6 to which the handle will be attached in use.
  • the base has a circular recess 7 formed in the operatively outer face thereof and a circular rim 8 on the intermediate part fits into this recess.
  • the intermediate part is of hollow hemispherical shape and the cap 3 engages with the operatively outer rim of the intermediate part
  • the cap is of similar hollow hemispherical shape and the rim 10 of the cap includes an inner lip 11 which locates inside the rim 8 of the intermediate part.
  • a hollow shaft 12 is integrally formed with the inner surface of the cap 3 and is axially aligned with the cap. This shaft 12 fits through a hole 13 formed in the centre of the intermediate part and locates against the floor of the recess 7 in an assembled condition.
  • a self-tapping screw 14 will pass through the panel 6 and engage in the hollow passage in the shaft 12 thereby holding the handle in an assembled condition and holding the handle to the panel.
  • each of the handle parts may be coloured differently.
  • the handle will take on a different visual impression if the cap is coloured differently from the intermediate part, than if they are coloured the same. It is envisaged that purchasers will be able to select each of the components from different colour stocks thereby allowing the purchaser to choose the colour of handle to suit the particular colour scheme of the panel on which the handle will be used.
  • the handle 20 is a "U" shaped handle having two screw fasteners 21 for fastening it to a panel (not shown).
  • the handle 20 is comprised of five parts, namely two outer parts 22, a centre part 23, and two shim-like spacers 24.
  • the centre part includes a hole 25 in each free end thereof for receiving the screw fasteners 21.
  • the two outer parts 22 each have two inwardly projecting pegs 26 and two inwardly projecting sockets 27.
  • the pegs and sockets are in mirror image positions on opposite sides of the outer parts such that when the two parts face towards each other, as shown in Figure 4, the pegs of one part match with the sockets of the other part.
  • the pegs fit tightly within the sockets thereby enabling a mating connection to be achieved for holding the handle in an assembled condition.
  • the spacers 24 and the centre part 23 each have holes 28 through which the sockets can pass. Thus, with the sockets located in these holes 28 and the pegs 26 firmly located in the sockets the handle will be held in an assembled condition.
  • the handle shown in Figures 7 and 8 is of the rounded knob variety, much like that of Figures 1 and 2 but with two additional ring-like parts 30 and 31 which can be used to provide two circular stripes for the assembled handle. These two parts 30 and 31 each include a recess 33 in which an adjacent part locates in the assembled condition.
  • the invention discloses a handle which is both simple to assemble and which allows a variety of colour combinations in a handle to be achieved without necessitating complicated and expensive manufacturing techniques which would be required to manufacture multiple colour single component handles.
