Abstract

The furniture handle comprises a bar mounted on blocks (2) with projecting sections (9) on their outer ends. Bolts are inserted through bores (5) in the blocks which extend into this. The bore has a peripheral rib inside the projecting section which has three radial gaps.

Description

The invention relates to a stylus element for furniture and the like, which is connected via holding blocks, which are provided for receiving a screw with a through hole, with the furniture, and lying in alignment with the through hole has a threaded hole.

Furniture handles, especially so-called bar handles, are known in mannigfacher embodiment and are often used as a cabinet and drawer handles. The handles are in this case arranged on holding blocks or spacing or mounting feet, which in turn are then fastened by means of a screw the cabinet door leaf or the drawer front plate passing through.

Depending on the length of the bar handles, a holding block is arranged in its center in addition to the provided at their outer ends holding blocks.

In any case, however, it must be ensured that there is a sufficiently large distance between the individual holding blocks of the bar handles, resulting in a large unsupported length of the bar handles to a clearance between the bar handle and the retaining blocks screwed with it. Due to the clearance between the screw the rod handle "works" on the support block, which on the one hand by twisting and movement, the surface is attacked and on the other hand, such an unfixed rod handle leaves an unstable and inferior impression.

The invention is therefore an object of the invention to improve the attachment of furniture handles of the type mentioned.

The object is achieved in that at the handle element facing the end of the through hole, an extension is provided which has at least one radial projection, and the extension in the stylus element is associated with a recess, which in contrast connects the threaded bore having a smaller diameter. This is advantageously achieved that engages the extension into the recess of the handle element by means of a threaded screw during assembly of the handle element with the holding block. That is, the handle member adapts with its complementary recess on the extension, because the radial projection deformed when screwed and pressed into the recess of the stylus element, so that a total force exerted on the handle element of the present, by at least one deforming projection reached Einpreßverbindung and is no longer absorbed by the connecting screw.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the extension is formed like a dome and is preferably provided with three circumferentially distributed at the same angle from each other arranged projections. Alternatively, the extension could be prismatic, rhombic or the like polygonal, with the corners or edges respectively provide the projections.

The conical connection, in particular the self-locking of the dome-shaped extension, can be further improved if the extension has a cone angle (α) of 5 °.

A proposal of the invention provides that free cutting is provided at the foot of the extension. These make it possible to catch any peeling off material when making the connection.

Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description in which an illustrated in the figures embodiment of the invention with a dome as extension is explained in more detail here. Hereby show:

FIG. 1 shows a bar grip 1 designed as a grip element, which is provided with a holding block 2 both at its two outer ends and in the middle, in each case for connection to a cupboard door leaf, a drawer front panel or the like object not shown here.

According to FIG. 2 a, the holding blocks 2, starting from their outer side 3 facing the object, have two threaded bores 4, depending on the dimension, over which the holding blocks 2 are fastened by means of the screws passing through the cabinet door leaf.

In the center distance between the threaded holes 4, a through hole 5 is arranged, which has a diameter enlarged receiving bore 7 for dipping a screw head at its outer end 6, while at the bar handle 1 facing the end 8 of the through hole 5, a domärtiger, conical extension 9 is formed , The dome-like projection 9 or truncated cone is provided with three projections 10 spaced from one another at the same angular extent (cf., for this purpose, FIGS. 2a, 2b, 3). The dome-shaped extension 9 is in the shown in Figure 4, in the embodiment of a rectangular hollow profile rod handle 100 associated with a complementary recess 11, which adjoins a threaded bore 12.

In order to screw the square - or alternatively round, oval or the like. - Bar handle 100 with the holding blocks 2, a threaded screw is inserted through the through hole 5 of the holding block 2 and screwed with their threads in the threaded bore 12 of the bar handle 100. When tightening then finds the rod handle 100 with its recess-side surface 13 system on the inside 14 of the support block 2, while the dome-like projection 9 engages in the recess 11, wherein the projections 10 are deformed and pressed into the inner wall 15 of the recess 11. The extension 9 is at its foot end free cuts 16 (see Fig. 2a), e.g. Grooves or grooves, assigned to catch any peeling off material.

The non-positive conical connection, wherein the dome-like extension 9 preferably has a cone angle (α) of 5 °, this takes on the bar handle 100 and the holding blocks 2 acting forces, so that the otherwise only existing screw virtually relieved and the bar handle 100 is locked motion safe ,
