Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a handle for doors and windows.
- At present handles for doors and windows, in particular doors and windows with frames made of metal, wood, synthetic materials or the like are divided into two main categories: handles for "exterior" units (doors, French windows, windows) and handles for "interior" units (for example, doors separating communicating rooms).
- The most widely used handles for exterior units are handles of the Cremone type which comprise a handle body (normally prismatic in shape, with or without rounded edges and with central protruding bush for coupling with the handgrip). The handgrip protrudes from one side of the handle body, while the means for actuating the device that closes the door or window protrude from the other side of the handle body.
- Several different Cremone handle designs have been developed from this basic structure (such as, for example, patent
EP-446.566 patent IT-1.285.897 utility model IT-234.079 patent application EP-1.036.899 . - The commercial popularity of these handles has therefore led to the development of a large number different designs. To these must be added the traditional designs for interior applications which differ from the Cremone handles described above in the technical characteristics of their component elements (the main difference being that the operating elements are recessed in the door frame) which means they cannot be substituted by Cremone handles as known up to now.
- In the above mentioned solutions, therefore, it is very common not only for the basic elements to be diversified but also the technical details such as the means for locking the handle, the devices for controlling the operating units, the position of the handgrip, etc., in accordance with the technical and aesthetic requirements and/or the size of the handle.
- A typical example, of specific relevance to this invention, regards the reference part or parts for stabilising or stopping the handgrip when it reaches the side-hung open, the tilted open or the closed position.
- For this purpose, one of the solutions devised for traditional Cremone handles (again, see patent
EP 446.566 - In other types of handle, where the above solution cannot be used on account of the shape and size of the handle body, other solutions have been adopted, including snap positioning means acting on the pinion and fitted directly in the handle body which affords specially made seats for this purpose.
- In one of these solutions, these means comprise at least one pair of elastic elements, positioned on each side of the pinion and affording at least one protrusion or tooth to enable them to snap securely into a fixed position into each of respective reference indentations made at angular intervals around the pinion. Thus, when the handgrip is turned, the tooth is pushed out of one indentation and into the previous or next one to define an open or closed position of the door or window.
- The solution just described, however, is not free of disadvantages, due in particular to the following:
- the constructional complexity of the elastic means and of the related seats to accommodate them;
- the labour-intensive procedures required to fit them to the handle body;
- the low level of reliability over time, given the particular configurations of the elastic means;
- the cost of the elements in relation to the type of product are high and not commensurate with all handle designs.
- The aim of this invention is, therefore, to overcome the above mentioned disadvantages by providing a handle for doors and windows with means for positioning the handgrip that are structurally simple, reliable over time and quick and easy to fit.
- According to the invention, the above mentioned aim is achieved by a handle for doors and windows according to claim 1, essentially comprising: a handle body applicable to the door or window frame; a handgrip for turning a spindle housed in the handle body from a first to a second position and vice versa; operating means engageable with a device for closing the door or window and mobile between the two positions; means for stabilising the position of the handgrip, positioned in the handle body and operating on a pinion associated with the spindle in such a way as to stop the handgrip at the two positions; these means comprising a slider element which runs in a respective channel made in the handle body and which has an end head designed to engage one of a plurality of reference indentations made around the outer edge of the pinion; a leaf-spring-like elastic element for actuating the slider, fitted inside the handle body and acting on the slider in such a way as to cause the slider to retract, thereby moving away from the head and the indentation, when the pinion is turned, and to cause the slider to advance when the head engages another indentation.
- The technical characteristics of the invention, with reference to the above aims, are clearly described in the claims below and its advantages are apparent from the detailed description which follows, with reference to the accompanying drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention provided merely by way of example without restricting the scope of the claimed invention, and in which:
-
Figure 1 is a perspective exploded view, with some parts cut away in order to better illustrate others, of a handle for doors and windows according to the invention; -
Figures 2 and3 are scaled-up plan views, from below, with some parts cut away, of the handle ofFigure 1 in two different operating configurations. With reference to the accompanying drawings, in particularFigure 1 , the handle according to the invention is applicable to doors, windows, French windows of numerous different kinds, whether for interior or exterior applications, which are not illustrated since they are of well-known type and do not fall within the scope of the invention. - As shown in
Figure 1 , the basic components of the handle, which is labelled 1 in its entirety; are the following: - a
handle body 2 applicable to the door or window by customary means which are not illustrated since they do not fall within the scope of the invention; - a
handgrip 3 protruding from one side of thehandle body 2 and designed to rotate aspindle 4, which is at least partially housed in thehandle body 2, about an axis Y transversal to thehandle body 2 itself, from at least a first to a second position and vice versa (thehandgrip 3 being drawn with a broken line inFigure 1 ); - operating means 5, partially protruding from the other side of the
handle body 2, said means being engageable by their free ends with a device for closing the door or window and being mobile between the first and second positions corresponding to at least one open configuration and one closed configuration of the door or window (the protruding part of the operating means is not illustrated since it is of known type and does not fall within the scope of the invention); - means 6, housed in the
handle body 2, for stabilising the position of thehandgrip 3 and operating on apinion 7 associated with thespindle 4; thepinion 7 forms part of theaforementioned operating means 5 and are designed to stop thehandgrip 3 at the aforementioned first and second positions. - Obviously, the positions that can be adopted by the
handgrip 3 may be more than two: for example, three in the case of tilt and turn doors and windows, without thereby departing from the spirit of the invention. - As shown also in
Figures 2 and3 , the stabilising means 6 comprise at least the following: - a
slider element 8 positioned in the vicinity of thepinion 7, slidably housed in arespective channel 9 made in thehandle body 2 having anend head 10 designed to engage one of a plurality ofindentations 11 for referencing the handle positions and made around the outer edge of thepinion 7; - a leaf-spring-like
elastic element 12 for actuating theslider 8 fitted inside thehandle body 2 and associated with theslider 8 in such a way as to cause theslider 8 to retract, thereby moving thehead 10 away from theindentation 11 by bending the leaf-spring-like elastic element 12 (see arrow F,Figure 2 ) when thepinion 7 is turned (see arrow F2,Figure 2 ) and to cause theslider 8 to advance, thanks to the spring action of the leaf-spring-likeelastic element 12, when thehead 10 engages another indentation 11 (see arrow F1,Figure 3 ). - As shown in
Figures 1 ,2 and3 , the optimum configuration of thestabilising means 6 is that with twoslider elements pinion 7 inrespective channels elements respective end heads respective indentations pinion 7. - It follows that the invention also contemplates the provision of two leaf-spring-like
elastic elements handle body 2, for operating therespective slider elements - In the preferred, non restricting embodiment illustrated, the
pinion 7 has fourindentations 11 arranged at equal angular intervals α of 90°; these indentations, labelled 11, 11a, 11b and 11c, are engageable, in opposite pairs, by theaforementioned end heads handgrip 3. - Looking more closely at the technical details, each leaf-spring-like
elastic element slider element through hole slider element elastic element respective slider element - More specifically, each leaf-spring-like elastic element consists of a leaf-spring-like
helical spring - The ends of each of the leaf-spring-like
helical springs respective protrusions handle body 2 on each side of each of thechannels respective slider elements - More specifically, the two
protrusions spring handle body 2 which form two supporting points for the respective leaf-spring-like element slider elements spring - A handle made as described above fully achieves the aforementioned aims thanks to a unit for stabilising the handle positions that has the following positive features:
- constructional simplicity;
- universal applicability, which means it can be fitted to a wide range of handle types without altering the basic structure and design of the handle;
- significantly reduced manufacturing and assembling costs, given the type of parts used to make the handle.
- Indeed, the use of a cylindrical leaf-spring-like element combined with a slider arranged in pairs on each side of the pinion confers a high level of reliability over time and permits quick and easy assembling and dismantling of handle parts, all at a reasonable cost that is commensurate with the type of accessory that can be made with the solution according to the invention.
- It will be understood that the invention described may be useful in many industrial applications and may be modified and adapted in several ways without thereby departing from the scope of the invention, as claimed.
