Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a gripping or supporting element, particularly suited to make up a handle of a door wing, a drawer, or the like.
  • the gripping or supporting element for which protection is seeked herewith may also be used as a furnishing accessory, like, for example, a towel rail to be installed in the bathrooms of private houses or in the toilets of other types of building.
  • the handles currently available on the market comprise a shaped body that is fixed, at least at one end, to a bearing structure, constituted for example by a door wing or by the wall of a room in a building.
  • the shaped body has a solid, hollow or partially hollow structure, and is made of a synthetic plastic material, like for example polyamide or polypropylene.
  • the form of the shaped body is such as to ensure comfortable and safe gripping by the user: in most cases, the cross section of said shaped body as a circular profile.
  • connection means comprise a bush provided with a thread that engages with a nut screw obtained in a blind hole made in the ends of the shaped body.
  • the bush is also provided on its inner surface with a counter thread engaging with a further screw, associated with a screw anchor pressure-fitted into the bearing structure, according to a technique that is well known to those skilled in the art.
  • screw fastening means comprising a dowel inserted in coaxial through holes obtained in the shaped body and in the bush.
  • a first drawback is represented by the fact that the connection between the shaped body and the bush requires the use of screw means that are inevitably going to loosen due to the continuous traction force exerted on the gripping or supporting element by the users.
  • the loads transmitted onto the gripping or supporting elements affect, after a certain period, the stability and resistance of the connection between the shaped body and the bush.
  • a further drawback is due to the fact that the use of the above mentioned screw means increases the number of operations that must be carried out to connect the gripping or supporting element to the bearing structure, consequently increasing assembly costs and times.
  • the present invention intends to eliminate the drawbacks mentioned above.
  • the main aim of the present invention is to carry out a gripping or supporting element that, once coupled to a bearing structure of any type, has greater mechanical resistance than the known equivalent elements at the level of the points of connection to the bearing structure itself.
  • the gripping or supporting element carried out according to the invention offers, when applied to a bearing structure, a mechanical resistance to loads, in particular traction loads, that is greater than the resistance ensured by analogous elements carried out according to the prior art.
  • the invention facilitates the installation of the gripping or supporting element on the bearing structure, because it requires the use of fewer screw means than in the prior art, with consequent advantages in terms of connected costs.
  • the gripping or supporting element 1 is a handle, while the bearing structure S is the wing of a door.
  • the gripping or supporting element may be any handle installed on a piece of furniture or onto a wall of a room in a building, or a supporting component, such as the towel rail in the bathroom of a house, for thin objects, like towels, that can be folded over it.
  • the gripping or supporting element 1 comprises:
  • the synthetic plastic material of which the shaped body is made may be a different material, for example polypropylene or polyethylene.
  • the gripping or supporting element 1 comprises a pair of shaped inserts 7, 8, associated with the ends 2a, 2b of the shaped body 2 through third fastening means, generally indicated by 9, which are coupled to the corresponding bushes 3, 4 when the shaped body 2 is arranged against the bearing structure S.
  • the shaped body may be provided with a single end connected to the bearing structure.
  • the gripping or supporting element will include a single shaped insert associated with one of the ends of the shaped body.
  • the shaped inserts 7, 8 are inserted in corresponding cavities 10, 11, obtained in the corresponding end 2a, 2b of the shaped body 2 and defined by an inner bottom and by the inner side wall of the cavities 10, 11.
  • Figure 2 shows only the inner bottom and the inner side wall of the cavity 10, respectively indicated by 10a and 10b.
  • Figure 1 also shows that the gripping or supporting element 1 comprises two seals 12, 13, respectively placed against the bushes 3, 4 in order to prevent the direct contact of the same, and also of the shaped body 2, with the bearing structure S .
  • the seals 12, 13 are preferably made of a plastic material, a construction solution that is extremely important because in this case the gripping or supporting element 1 is associated with a bearing structure S, constituted, as already said, by a wing that is generally made of aluminium or wood.
  • the seals 12, 13 prevent the contact of the shaped body 2 and of the bushes 3, 4 with the bearing structure S and thus they also prevent excessive wear of the latter over time.
  • Figure 2 shows that the gripping or supporting element 1 comprises reference means, indicated as a whole by 14, associated with the shaped body 2 and with each one of the shaped inserts 7, 8, which define the coupling or, better, the insertion direction of the shaped inserts 7, 8 into the shaped body 2 itself.
  • the reference means 14 are constituted by a rib 15, 16 projecting from the inner side wall, of the type indicated by 10b, defining the cavities 10, 11 and, as shown in Figure 3, by a groove 17 obtained on the outer wall 7b of the shaped insert 7.
  • the attached figures show only the groove 17 in the shaped insert 7, but also the shaped insert 8 has a similar groove in its outer wall.
  • the profile of the rib 15 matches the profile of the groove 17, and in the same way the profile of the rib 16 matches the profile of the groove not represented and obtained in the shaped insert 8.
  • the profiles of the ribs 15, 16 and of the grooves, like the one indicated by 17, have a substantially semicircular shape.
  • the reference means may be constituted by two opposite ribs, projecting from the inner side wall that defines each cavity, as well as by two corresponding opposite grooves obtained on the outer wall of each shaped insert.
  • Figure 3 shows that the shaped insert 7 has substantially the form of a cylindrical cup, with the base 7a arranged against the bottom 10a of the cavity 10.
  • the base 7a of the shaped insert 7 is provided with a central through hole 18, visible also in Figure 4, coaxial with a blind hole 19, threaded inside, made in the central area 110a of the bottom 10a of the cavity 10.
  • the screw 20 is provided with a head 20a that is set against the inner wall 71a of the base 7a of the shaped insert 7, said inner wall 71a defining the outer edge of the central hole 18.
  • Figure 5 shows that they are constituted by a dowel 21, arranged in such a way as to pass inside a first through hole 22 made in the shaped body 2.
  • the dowel 21 engages with a screw nut 23 obtained in a second through hole 24 made in the shaped insert 7 and coaxial with the first through hole 22.
  • the pointed end 21 a of the dowel 21 is housed in an annular race 25 obtained in the bush 3 and defined by inclined side surfaces 25a, 25b that exert a traction force on the pointed end 21a of the dowel 21, forcing it against the bottom 25c of the annular race 25 when the dowel 21 is inserted in the first through hole 22 and screwed into the second through hole 24 to lock the shaped body 2 and the bush 3 together.
  • the side surfaces 25a, 25b of the annular race 25 are preferably inclined by 45°.
  • the bushes 3, 4 are of the type per se known to a person skilled in the art, and are used for the application of a gripping or supporting element comprising a shaped body in metallic material to a bearing structure.
  • the invention uses a bush used to connect other types of gripping or supporting elements, different from the one that is the subject of the present invention, to a bearing structure, with no need to resort to bushes with a shape specifically designed for gripping or supporting elements made of a synthetic plastic material, as it currently happens in the prior art.
  • the gripping or supporting element 1 comprises a covering body 26, for example made of plastic, applied to the outside of the dowel 21, which otherwise would remain visible.
  • the covering body 26, therefore, creates a continuous surface between the first through hole 22 and the outer surface 2c of the shaped body 2, thus improving the aesthetic effect of the gripping or supporting element 1 in that area.
  • the person who has to install the gripping or supporting element 1 onto the bearing structure S inserts the shaped inserts 7, 8 inside the corresponding cavities 10, 11 obtained at the ends 2a, 2b of the shaped body 2.
  • the insertion is achieved by matching the ribs 15, 16, present in the cavities 10, 11, and the grooves of the type indicated by 17, present on the shaped inserts 7, 8, so that the second through hole 24, obtained in the shaped inserts 7, 8, is coaxial with the first through hole 22 made in the shaped body 2.
  • the operator inserts the screw 20 inside the shaped inserts 7, 8 and makes it pass through the central hole 18, thus screwing it inside the blind hole 19 made in the shaped body 2.
  • the operator applies the shaped body 2, complete with the shaped inserts 7, 8, against the outer surface S e of the bearing structure S, arranging the bushes 3, 4, previously permanently coupled to the bearing structure S through first fastening means 5, inside the corresponding shaped inserts 7, 8.
  • the operator permanently connects the shaped body 2 to the bearing structure S, coupling the dowel 21 to the nut screw 23 of the second through hole 24 by placing the pointed end 21a of the dowel inside the annular race 25 present in the bushes 3, 4.
  • the operator applies the covering body 26 onto the first through hole 22, outside the dowel 21, thus making the outer surface 2d of the shaped body 2 uniform and continuous.
  • the gripping or supporting element carried out according to the invention can bear the loads applied to it more effectively and efficiently than the equivalent elements of the known type.
  • the invention also allows the operator to install a gripping or supporting element of the type described above on a bearing structure more quickly than in the prior art.
  • the shaped body may, in other applications, be associated with the bearing structure in a different way than illustrated in the figures below, for example in horizontal position.
  • the shaped body may be made of a synthetic plastic material with compact or partially hollow structure, obtained through an air-blowing process.
  • the second fastening means may be different from those described above, which however does not affect the advantages offered by the present patent.
