Definitions

  • the invention relates to an actuating handle, in particular a window handle, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Lockable or lockable handles are known. Lockable window handles have been developed especially for rooms that need to be secured from the inside. When locked, they can only be moved from a 0 ° position to a 90 ° position. In the 0 ° position, the handle lever points vertically downwards; the window is closed. In the 90 ° position, on the other hand, the window can be pivoted into a tilted position about a horizontal axis, so that limited room ventilation can be provided even without a suitable key. However, turning the handle further into a 180 ° position and thus opening the window completely is not possible. This only works if a button or locking pin on the handling head is unlocked beforehand.
  • a clutch enclosing the handle neck is provided with mutually spring-loaded rings which have control tracks for engaging and disengaging in or out of given angular positions of the handle, which are effective when the handle is turned.
  • the control tracks are in the form of raised and recessed alternating circular arc segments intermediate sections located on or on mutually facing narrow cylinder faces.
  • Ramps in the form of circumferential bevels make it possible to move the handle to the right or left from the closed position to the tilted position or vice versa even when the locking bolt is closed downwards.
  • the locked coupling elements prevent further turning beyond the 90 ° position, which is only possible by closing the locking bolt.
  • This relatively complex construction is only suitable for the transmission of medium torques, because the sawtooth-shaped claws or lugs intended for locking can easily shear off when a certain limit torque is exceeded. The handle does not guarantee a high level of security.
  • a handle described in DE-U-89 07 701 has a coupling ring enclosing the handle neck with lugs in the form of radial straight toothing, and a further coupling ring with a form-fitting notch between radial saw tooth sequences facing one another.
  • This design is also complex due to the large number of components and may be prone to failure.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide a lockable operating handle that is simple and robustly constructed from a few elements. It should only be possible to open or swing open a window provided with the handle when the handle is unlocked; for permanent ventilation by tilting the window, a handle adjustability is desirable even when the handle is locked. In addition, the handle should be lockable in the closed and tilted positions.
  • an actuating handle in particular a window handle
  • a handle head which is axially rotatably mounted on a stop body and is coupled to a driver device for actuating a longitudinally displaceably guided slide
  • a locking member integrated in the handle head, which by means of a locking or locking unit parallel to the axial direction is displaceable, as well as with a coupling, which for locking the handle head in different angular positions
  • two ring elements with interlocking locking elements has, wherein an upper ring element is axially displaceably connected to the locking member, the upper ring element according to the invention has at least two lugs which are freely pivotable between two stops and can be lowered in their stop positions in depressions in the lower ring element.
  • the grip head can be moved from a closed position into an open position, for example a tilted position, in a precisely defined angular range. A further turning and thus a full opening of the window is not possible due to the stops. If the lugs are sunk in the provided recesses, the handle is locked in the intended stop positions, so that an unauthorized closing of the window from the tilted position or an unauthorized opening is not possible.
  • the lugs are each arranged opposite one another and, according to claim 3, engage positively in the provided depressions.
  • the handle is always locked precisely in its end positions; forced levering out is not possible.
  • the depressions are arranged at equidistant intervals along the outer circumference of the ring.
  • claim 5 The development of claim 5 is that the upper ring member is attached directly to the locking member or is in one piece with it, so that a stable structure is given that withstands high loads.
  • the locking member of the measure of claim 6 can advantageously be locked in at least three locking positions.
  • claim 7 provides that the locking or locking unit is a double-stroke cylinder.
  • the lower ring element is non-rotatably connected to the stop body or in one piece with it, whereby the number of assembly steps is further reduced. All of the measures mentioned enable a simple and robust construction of the actuating handle, because the required components are reduced to a few elements, which can also be produced inexpensively. Additional fastening elements or compression springs are not required, which ensures extremely simple and inexpensive installation.
  • the invention further provides in claim 9 that the ring elements have a closed sequence of similar locking lugs along their inner circumference, which interlock positively, wherein according to claim 10 the inner circumference of both coupling rings is divided into a maximum number of teeth of sixteen lugs.
  • This design ensures a secure engagement of the locking elements and a stable locking of the handle in the respective angular positions, so that opening of the handle is reliably prevented even by the transmission of very large torques.
  • a preferred handle is characterized by the combination of features of independent claim 11, which, with an overall simple, clear structure and advantageous manufacture and assembly, offers a large number of practical uses and ensures easy and safe handling.
  • the window handle generally designated 10 in FIG. 1 has a handle head 12 with a main body part 14, a coupling 50 with two ring elements 52, 62 and a stop plate 40 with a bearing opening 42.
  • the gripping head 12 has a step-shaped recess 16 with a circular cross section for receiving the coupling 50 described below.
  • the upper part 17 of the recess 16 is slightly conical and continues with a blind hole 18 upwards.
  • a bearing bolt 24 is inserted through the bearing opening 42 of the stop plate 40 and has a shoulder 25 at its lower end and is conical in accordance with the recess 17. It has a central threaded bore 26 into which a screw 28 is inserted for mounting the window handle 10, which screw in turn engages in the blind hole 18 in the head 12.
  • a bearing bush 30 is located between the shoulder 25 and the stop plate 40, while a lower ring element 52 of the coupling 50, which surrounds the bearing pin 24, is arranged above the bearing opening 42. So that the grip head 12 does not touch the stop plate 40, a spacer ring 32 is additionally inserted over the ring element 52.
  • FIG. 2 there is a cutout 43 in the stop plate 40 for receiving a slide drive 44.
  • This comprises a gear 46 coupled to the bearing pin 24 as well as a longitudinally displaceably mounted slide 47 for actuating a (not shown) turn or turn-tilt fitting.
  • the lower coupling ring 52 arranged above the bearing opening 42 has an annular body 53 with four circumferential recesses 54 arranged at equidistant intervals (see FIG. 6), two opposite annular body sections 55 between the recesses 54 being approximately twice as high as the rest of the annular body 53
  • the inner edge 56 of the ring body 53 is also higher and carries the spacer ring 32 on its end face 57.
  • Sixteen radial locking cams 58 are formed around the inner edge 56.
  • four cams 59 are present on the underside of the ring 52, which engage in matching bores 49 in the stop plate 40, which, for. B. define three locking positions for the handle 10.
  • the upper coupling ring 62 sits axially displaceably within the recess 16 in the grip head 12 and thereby surrounds the spacer ring 32 or the bearing bolt 24. It is attached to the locking bolt by means of a screw 23 via a radial extension 63 22 attached and can thus be locked in different positions according to the axial locking positions of the cylinder 20.
  • the ring 62 also has sixteen locking cams 68 which are arranged radially along the inner circumference 65; they correspond in size and distance to the cams 58 of the lower ring element 52.
  • On the outer circumference 66 of the upper ring 62 two downwardly drawn lugs 64 are attached, which can positively engage in the four circumferential recesses 54 in the lower ring 52.
  • the length of the lugs 64 corresponds approximately to the height of the highly formed ring body sections 55.
  • Fig. 2 shows the window handle 10 in the locked position.
  • the upper coupling ring 62 is in the lowest latching position and is aligned such that the lugs 64 engage in two opposite circumferential recesses 54 of the lower coupling ring 52.
  • the radially arranged locking cams 58, 68 of both rings 52, 62 are in engagement with one another, so that pivoting of the grip head 12 and thus opening the window is not possible.
  • the upper clutch ring 62 is raised; it reaches the position shown in FIG. 3. This is chosen so that the locking cams 58, 68 are disengaged and the peripheral recesses 54 just release the side lugs 64 of the ring 62.
  • the handle 12, 14 beyond the tilted position is not possible due to the annular body sections 55 acting as stops, so that a complete opening of the window is prevented.
  • the lugs 64 of the upper coupling ring 62 can be lowered again by actuating (pre-closing) the locking cylinder 20.
  • the side lugs 64 are countersunk in the circumferential recesses 54 and the radial cams 58, 68 of the coupling 50 engage in one another. The handle 12, 14 is thus securely locked even in the tilt position.
  • the upper coupling ring 62 with the locking cylinder 20, which has been brought into the second locking stage, must be placed in the top locking position (see FIG. 4).
  • the lateral lugs 64 of the upper ring 62 are then raised above the higher ring body sections 55, so that the handle 12, 14 can be freely pivoted between the 0 ° position and the 180 ° position.
  • the invention is not limited to one of the above-described embodiments, but can be modified in many ways.
  • the handle lever 14 in the opposite pivoting direction (e.g. to the left)
  • only the lower ring element 52 has to be displaced by 90 °.
  • the tilt and open positions are then reversed. So there is no need for further storage for additional components.
  • the lower ring body 52 can be integral with the stop plate 40; the locking elements 54, 55, 58 are then formed directly on the rosette body 40, which simplifies assembly.
  • a window handle 10 has a handle head 12 which is axially fixedly rotatably mounted on a stop body 40 and in which a locking member 22 is integrated which can be locked in at least three latching positions by means of a double-stroke locking cylinder 20 parallel to the axial direction A.
  • a coupling 50 has to lock the handle head 12 in different angular positions on two ring elements 52, 62 with interlocking locking elements 54, 64, 58, 68.
  • an upper ring element 62 has at least two lugs 64 arranged opposite one another, which can be pivoted freely between two stops 55 and can be lowered in their stop positions with a precise fit in depressions 54 of a lower ring element 52.
  • the upper ring element 62 is axially displaceably attached to the locking member 22, while the lower 52 is rotatably connected to the stop body 40.
  • Both ring elements 52, 62 have along their inner circumference 56, 65 a closed sequence of in particular sixteen similar locking lugs 58, 68 which engage in one another in a form-fitting manner.
