Definitions
- the invention relates to an operating handle (e.g. for a door) according to the preamble of claim 1, comprising a stiff body member and a separate additional member adapted to be installed upon the body member to partially clad the latter so as to form together with it a composite handle unit.
- Operating handles are conventionally made by casting or by bending the whole handle out of one piece.
- Numerous door handles are known which are made of two or more component parts. Often a wooden member is connected to a metal body or for instance a plastics member is forced from one end over a metal body.
- An aim of this invention is to provide a new handle arrangement advantageous to manufacture and according to which a separate additional member to be secured to a body member is easy to install and can be changed for instance by the user when needed (e.g. to change the colour of the major exposed portion of the handle).
- installation of the additional member takes place by making use of the elasticity of the additional member.
- the body portion is of arcuate form over at least part of its longitudinal direction since this facilitates the retention of the additional member in its required position on the body member because detaching of the additional member from the body member presumes some resilient elongation of the additional member to secure its correct installation on the body member.
- An arrangement according to the invention provides a possibility to easily change the additional member for another one, for instance of another colour, without having to change the whole handle.
- locking members can be provided, which, in the installed position of the additional member, are arranged to prevent displacement of the additional member in its direction of installation away from the body member.
- the additional member and the body member are with advantage also provided with at least one longitudinally extending guide and support member, which are arranged to mutually cooperate for guiding the additional member into, and retaining it at, its correct position relative to the body member. At the same time the arrangement aids in keeping the two members secured together along their whole length.
- said guide and support members can comprise rather narrow protrusions in the additional member which are arranged to be fitted in narrow slots arranged in the body member.
- a narrow protrusion is located at each end of the additional member and forms a stationary part with the respective transverse protrusion used for fixing the additional member.
- the protrusions are, despite their inherent elasticity at the same time, however, sufficiently firm.
- a further narrow protrusion is with advantage arranged in the central region of the additional member and, simultaneously, stiffens the additional member.
- One end of the body member can include a thicker part, in which a hole passing through the end surface of the body member is provided for installing the handle on a spindle (e.g. to be connected to a door lock).
- the additional member when installed, can be arranged to cover the end of the hole extending to the mutual boundary surface between the body member and the additional member.
- the body member is with advantage made of a relatively hard plastics material and the additional member can for instance be of rubber or a flexible plastics material so that it is sufficiently elastic to meet the installation requirements.
- a door handle 1 is shown in Figure 1 which, in accordance with the invention, is assembled from a body member 2 and a separate additional member 3 attached thereto.
- Figures 1 and 4 also show a handle rose 4 which is known in the prior art and spaces the handle 1 from the door or the like to which it is attached.
- transverse protrusions 5a and 5b In order to attach the additional member 3 to the body member 2 opposite ends of the member 3 are provided with transverse protrusions 5a and 5b and, fixedly attached thereto, respective longitudinal protrusions 6a and 6b, which at the same time strengthen the support of the protrusions 5a and 5b.
- respective longitudinal protrusions 6a and 6b To accommodate the integers 5a, 5b and 6a, 6b depressions 9a and 9b are provided at each end of the body member 2 and longitudinally extending slots 10a and 10b are provided, respectively, adjacent thereto.
- the additional member 3 is made of a somewhat elastic material, for instance rubber, so that it can be pulled or snapped into place upon the body member 2 by virtue of a temporary degree of elastic deformation allowing the necessary elongation so that the aforementioned protrusions become located in the depressions and slots and resiliently retain the additional member 3 in its intended position upon the body member 2.
- the security of retention on the body member 2 can be enhanced if the additional member 3 remains slightly tensioned after installation. If, however, subsequent removal is required the residual tension should not be too high otherwise it becomes difficult to detach the additional member 3 without breaking the same.
- the arrangement illustrated makes it possible to securely hold the member 3 on the member 2 but to change the additional member 3 easily when required.
- the retaining in position, the elongation and the residual tension in the additional member 3 are also influenced by the arcuate form of the members 2 and 3.
- the degree of curvature as such need not necessarily be high.
- the curvature can also be different at different positions of the door handle and need not exist over the entire length of the body member.
- a longitudinal protrusion 7 for reception of which a longitudinal slot 11 is provided in the body member 2.
- the purpose of these members is, on the one hand, to guide, during installation, the additional member 3 into the correct position on the body member 2 and, on the other hand, to retain it in the correct position transversely of the handle in the central region of the body member 2.
- the protrusion 7 naturally stiffens the additional member 3.
- the body member 2 At one end of the body member 2 there is a thicker part defining a boss 13, which is provided with a square-section hole 15 going through the end surface of the body member 2 for installing the handle on a conventional square-section spindle for turnable connection of the handle to a door lock. Neither the spindle nor the lock is shown in the drawings.
- the hole 15 is provided in a sleeve-like member 14 of the body member 2, the member 14 also providing a journal for the handle in the radial direction.
- the hole 15 communicates with a recess 15a, for possible fixing members for the spindle.
- the door handle can naturally be fixed to the spindle in many different ways, for instance by making use of threaded members, but also through other means (not shown).
- the additional member 3 covers the open end of the recess 15a extending to the mutual boundary surface between the body member 2 and the additional member 3.
- the underside of the body member 2 has an arcuate form in a direction normal to the length of the body member to provide a smooth finger-engaging surface which is thick enough in the vicinity of the slot 11 to fully receive the protrusion 7 and leave its outer edge sensibly flush with the body member 2 when the members 2 and 3 are correctly interengaged.
- Figures 4 and 6 show the preferred extent of two depressions 16 which flank the slot 11 over part of its length closest to the boss 13.
- the depressions 16 are obscured by the additional member 3 when the latter is in place on the body member 2 but can be useful in accommodating means for fixing the handle to a spindle.
