Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to handles for opening and closing of doors and windows and relates more specifically to a handle arrangement arranged for easy mounting by means of a snap-in function, with which handle arrangement unauthorized or fraudulent removal of the handle is prevented.
  • Present handles or lever handles for doors and windows etc are usually rotably mounted to a handle plate or plate by means of a locking washer or the like, which washer maintains a neck of the handle in an opening in the plate.
  • the plate is thereafter attached to the door or window with the handle mounted by means of e.g. screws.
  • Handles for being mounted to doors and windows may either be factory-mounted or mounted on site at the customer. Factory-mounting has the advantage that the door or window is ready to be put in place, thereby avoiding further mounting procedures in the form of on-site attachment of handles and other accessories. This is a great advantage since mounting of handles or the like has been rather time-consuming.
  • doors or windows with premounted handles require a larger space during transport since they cannot be stacked close to each other. Further there is a risk that mounted handles damage other doors or windows against which they bear during the transport. This is especially the case at balcony doors and windows or the like which exhibit fragile glass surfaces. Therefore, final mounting is often carried out on site.
  • a further disadvantage with known ways of mounting is that the plate-handle combination has to be decided in advance. Furthermore, it is cumbersome to demount or exchange a handle since the complete plate has to be demounted.
  • a problem at the prior art is to accomplish a method for easy mounting of a handle or a lever handle at a handle arrangement, whereby one can easily mount the handle to the plate on-site at the customer and thereby eliminate the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • the British patent GB 701 879 describes mounting of a handle, at which a resilient washer is used to retain the mounted handle in place. This washer is pushed in from the side after a disk has been passed over the handle neck and thereby it does not permit a facilitated mounting. On the contrary, the use of the washer contributes to a further mounting step.
  • EP 754 827 describes a handle arrangement which comprises a handle with a grip and a neck as well as a plate which comprises a lower part, an upper part and a cover.
  • the neck can be introduced into an opening through the plate, whereby a groove around the neck is brought into engagement with an resilient bracket which is received between the lower and upper part of the plate.
  • EP 754 827 furthermore exhibits a drawback since it has shown that the handle may be removed without first removing the cover and releasing the engagement between the resilient bracket and the groove of the neck by means of a tool.
  • the fact is that it has shown possible to forcibly separate the legs of the resilient bracket and thereby release the engagement simply by pulling the handle comparatively strongly and simultaneously twisting and turning the handle somewhat back and forth.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a handle arrangement, which allows for easy mounting of as well a plate and a handle forming part of the arrangement and which furthermore prevents fraudulent or unauthorized removal of the handle when it has been mounted.
  • the invention is based on the insight that the handle itself may be used for preventing unauthorized access to the members which commit releasing and removal of the handle.
  • a handle arrangement as defined by the attached claim 1 is thus achieved.
  • the handle arrangement according to the invention comprises a handle, the neck of which exhibits a tapering end portion which may be introduced between two legs of a spring which engages around the neck. This allows for very easy mounting on-site which mounting only consists of introducing the neck in a first opening of the plate. One portion of the legs of the spring is accessible through a second opening in the plate, which allows for easy demounting of the handle when so desired. The second opening is further covered by the handle when this is in a locked position, whereby unauthorized or fraudulent demounting is prevented when the door or window is locked.
  • a handle arrangement as defined by the attached claim 7 is achieved.
  • the engagement between the resilient member and the groove in the handle neck is secured, whereby the handle cannot be removed simply by pulling, turning, twisting or in any other way of manipulating the handle. According to this aspect of the invention, it is thus guaranteed that the engagement only can be released when access to the resilient member is allowed.
  • the handle arrangement shown in Figs 1-5 comprises a handle 10, a cover 20, an attachment member 30, a spring 40 and a position-determining holder 50.
  • the cover 20 and the attachment member 30 together form a so-called plate or handle-plate, which receives the spring 40 and the position-determining holder 50.
  • the handle 10 comprises a grip 11 and a neck 12.
  • the grip which may exhibit different forms depending on functional and design requirements, continues into the neck 12, which is arranged to be introduced into a circular opening 21 in the cover 20 and a corresponding opening 31 in the attachment member 30.
  • a plain spindle 13 with square cross-section is mounted to the handle, which plain spindle is arranged to cooperate with a follower (not shown), which is arranged in the door.
  • the shown handle is further lockable by means of a lock cylinder 14, which is arranged to be introduced into an opening 15 provided therefore in the handle.
  • the cover 20, which is arranged to be mounted over the attachment member 30 also exhibits an opening 22 which overlaps a corresponding opening 32 in the attachment member 30.
  • the purpose of this opening is to allow for demounting the handle part, as will be explained below.
  • the attachment member is arranged to be attached to the door by means of screws (not shown) and therefore exhibits two mounting holes 33, 34.
  • the spring 40 exhibits two legs 41, 42 which are mutually connected by a curved end portion 43.
  • the legs have a form which comprises a first curved leg portion 41a, 42a, which in a mounted position essentially overlaps the attachment member's opening 31 for the handle neck.
  • the legs further exhibit a second leg portion 41b, 42b which essentially overlaps the demounting opening 32 in the attachment member.
  • the position-determining holder 50 is a part with several functions. It is,manufactured of a flexible material, such as a suitable plastic material and may be pushed in from behind in the attachment member 30, where it by means of a snap-in function is retained in place. Thereby, also the spring 40 which is mounted before the holder 50 is retained in place.
  • the holder 50 further exhibits an opening 51 which essentially overlaps the opening 31 in the attachment member.
  • the material which defines the opening 31 exhibits protrusions 51a, 51b which are arranged to engage with corresponding longitudinal grooves 16 in the handle neck. Thereby, well defined positions for the handle are achieved at turning of the handle, at the same time as the flexibility of the holder 50 allows for turning the handle between different positions.
  • Fig. 2 shows an attachment member 30 with the spring 40 mounted therein. It may be seen that the attachment member exhibits two backward projecting parts 35, 36 through which the mounting screws (not shown) extend. The curved end portion 43 of the spring 40 extends around the upper one 36 of these protruding parts so that the spring is held in a well defined position. As mentioned earlier, the first leg portions 41a, 42a of the spring overlap the opening 31 in the attachment member and the second leg portions 41b, 42b with the opening 32. This can be clearly seen from Fig. 3 , which shows the attachment member 30 from the front, with the therein mounted spring.
  • the spring 40 is placed in the attachment member 30 as shown in Fig. 2 .
  • the holder 50 is snapped into position, whereby these three parts form a unit which is kept together.
  • This unit is attached to a door by securing the above-mentioned screws.
  • the cover 20 is pushed in place over the attachment member 30.
  • This mounting is preferably carried out in a factory but it may of course also be carried out on-site. This mounting does not to any appreciable extent contribute to the thickness of the door and does therefore not render transport of the door more difficult.
  • the handle neck 12 contains an end portion 17 which tapers in a direction towards the end of the neck, see Fig. 4 , which has a smallest diameter, which is smaller than the distance between the leg portions 41a, 42a of the spring.
  • Fig. 4 which has a smallest diameter, which is smaller than the distance between the leg portions 41a, 42a of the spring.
  • Demounting of the handle 10 is carried out as follows.
  • a suitable tool such as a screw-driver
  • the lockable handle does, in its locked position, block the demounting opening by means of a pin 14a, which protrudes from the lock cylinder 14 and which engages the demounting-opening.
  • the handle may be demounted only in its unlocked position, which prevents fraudulent demounting by a person not having access to a valid key.
  • the handle 110 is not lockable.
  • the general principals of mounting and demounting, which have been described above with reference to the first embodiment, are however the same.
  • Figs 7 and 8 the plate of a handle arrangement according to a further embodiment of the invention is shown.
  • Fig. 8 shows a schematic cross-section along the line A-A in Fig. 7 , where the upper protruding part 360 and the spring 400 have been eliminated for increased clarity. Since this embodiment differs from the embodiment shown in Figs 1 to 5 , only what concerns the design of the plate, Figs 7 and 8 do not show the handle or the attachment member.
  • the plate according to this embodiment comprise a cover 200 and an attachment member 300.
  • the cover 200 and the attachment member 300 also comprise first overlapping openings 210, 310 for receiving the handle neck and second overlapping openings 220, 320 for demounting the handle.
  • the attachment member further comprises lower 350 and upper 360 backwards projecting parts in which mounting screws (not shown) extend.
  • a spring 400 is received in the attachment member 300.
  • the spring 400 exhibits two legs 410, 420, which are mutually interconnected by a curved end portion 430.
  • the shape of the legs exhibits a first curved leg portion 410a, 420a which in a mounted position essentially overlaps the attachment member opening 310 for the handle neck.
  • the legs further exhibit a second leg portion 410b, 420b, which essentially overlaps the demounting opening 320 in the attachment member.
  • the curved portion 430 of the spring extends around the upper protruding portion 360, such that the spring is held in a strictly defined position.
  • the spring is formed of a wire with circular cross-section of an elastic material such as spring steel. The cross-sectional diameter of the wire is about 1.3 mm.
  • the attachment member 300 differs from the attachment member shown in Figs 1 to 5 in that it comprises a cavity 370 in the form of a recess, which is formed in a surface 300a of the attachment member, which surface faces the door or window.
  • the cavity 370 extends around the spring 400 such that the entire spring, when unloaded, is positioned within the boundary line 370a, which encloses the cavity.
  • the boundary line 370a intersects the first opening 310 in the attachment member 300 at each opposite side of the first curved leg portions 410a, 420a of the legs 410, 420, such that the envelope surface of the first opening exhibits full material thickness at opposite portions outside the first curved leg portions 410a, 420a.
  • the depth of the cavity is about 0.5 mm, such that only a portion of the cross-section of the spring will be received in the cavity, while the other portion will protrude above the surface 300a when the spring is placed in the cavity and bears against its bottom.
  • the handle is first forced in against the plate a small distance, whereby the spring is forced out of the cavity, such that the legs 410, 420 again are allowed to move in the direction away from each other. Thereafter, the handle is demounted in the way described above for the embodiment shown in Figs 1 to 5 .
  • the handle is also possible to use the tool in order to accomplish this displacement of the spring.
  • the depth of the cavity ought to be about 25% to 50% of the diameter of the spring wire, in order to accomplish an effective locking when the handle is pulled in a direction away from the door or window and at the same time allow releasing when the spring is brought from the bottom of the cavity in the direction towards the door or window.
  • An especially favourable relation between the depth of the cavity and the diameter of the spring wire has proved to be achieved if the depth is about 38% of the diameter.
  • the spring may be exchanged by another resilient element, such as a washer of sheet metal, plastic or other flexible material.
  • the above described blocking cavity may also be used at handle plates which do not comprise any demounting opening. Demounting of the handle may then be accomplished when the spring has been made accessible, e.g. by unscrewing the plate from the door or window.
  • the fastening screws for the plate should not in such a case be accessible from the handle-side of the door.
  • the plate may be designed in a number of different ways and may comprise one, two or several separate elements. For example the cover described above may be eliminated if so is desired.
