Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Tür für ein Kältegerät und insbesondere eine Tür mit einem Griff, der zum Betätigen einer Türöffnungshilfe schwenkbar ist. Eine solche Türöffnungshilfe umfasst im allgemeinen einen Stößel, der, angetrieben durch die Bewegung des Griffs, die Tür des Kältegeräts von dessen Korpus fortdrückt und es so einem Benutzer erleichtert, die Tür zu öffnen, auch wenn diese durch einen im Innern des Kältegerätes herrschenden Unterdruck gegen den Korpus gepresst ist.The present invention relates to a door for a refrigerator, and more particularly to a door having a handle which is pivotable for actuating a door opening aid. Such a door opening aid generally comprises a plunger which, driven by the movement of the handle, pushes the door of the refrigerator away from its body, thus making it easier for a user to open the door, even if this is counteracted by a negative pressure prevailing inside the refrigerator the body is pressed.

Es sind Kältegerätetüren bekannt, wie zum Beispiel in WO 02/29340 A1 beschrieben, bei denen der zusammen mit dem Stößel als eine starre Einheit ausgelegte Türgriff an einer seitlichen Flanke eines Türblatts um eine die seitliche Flanke kreuzende Achse schwenkbar montiert ist. Die Schwenkachse ist durch einen von dem Griff abstehenden Zapfen festgelegt, der in eine in eine Seitenflanke des Türblattes eingelassene Hülse eingreift. Da das Türblatt im allgemeinen ein dünnwandiger, mit einem Isolierschaum von geringer mechanischer Festigkeit ausgefüllter Hohlkörper ist, ist es schwierig, die Hülse an dem Türblatt starr zu fixieren. Die Orientierung der Schwenkachse kann daher in Abhängigkeit von der Richtung einer Betätigungskraft, die ein Benutzer auf den Griff ausübt, schwanken. Dies erweckt beim Benutzer den Eindruck mangelnder Verarbeitungsqualität. Wenn die Hülse gegen den Schaumstoff, in dem sie eingebettet ist, oder gegen die feste Außenhaut des Türblatts, an der sie befestigt ist, arbeitet, kann dies zu einer fortschreitenden Lockerung der Hülse führen, die die Funktionsfähigkeit des Griffs beeinträchtigt und nur schwierig zu reparieren ist.There are refrigerator doors known, such as in WO 02/29340 A1 described in which the designed together with the plunger as a rigid unit door handle is pivotally mounted on a lateral edge of a door leaf about an axis crossing the lateral flank. The pivot axis is defined by a protruding from the handle pin, which engages in a recessed in a side edge of the door leaf sleeve. Since the door leaf is generally a thin-walled, filled with a Isolierschaum of low mechanical strength hollow body, it is difficult to fix the sleeve rigidly on the door panel. The orientation of the pivot axis may therefore vary depending on the direction of an actuating force exerted by a user on the handle. This gives the user the impression of poor quality workmanship. If the sleeve works against the foam in which it is embedded, or against the solid outer skin of the door panel to which it is attached, this can lead to progressive loosening of the sleeve, which impairs the performance of the handle and is difficult to repair is.

Um diesem Problem zu begegnen, wurde in WO97/38273 A1 vorgeschlagen, den Griff an der Seitenflanke der Tür mit Hilfe eines an der Tür befestigten Flansches anzulenken, dessen äußerer Rand eine ringsektorähnliche Feder bildet, die in eine ringförmige, radial nach innen offene Nut des Griffs eingreift und so eine Drehung des Griffs um den Flansch erlaubt. Ein solcher Flansch ist zwar leichter dauerhaft an der Flanke des Türblatts zu befestigen als eine Hülse, doch da der in Tiefenrichtung der Tür verfügbare Platz für einen solchen Flansch begrenzt ist, ist es schwierig, ein Schlingern des Türgriffs um eine vertikale Achse ausreichend zu unterdrücken, so dass das Problem, die Schwenkbewegung des Türgriffs exakt zu führen, nur zum Teil gelöst ist.To counter this problem was in WO97 / 38273 A1 proposed to direct the handle on the side edge of the door by means of a flange attached to the door, the outer edge of which forms a ring sector-like spring which engages in an annular, radially inwardly open groove of the handle, thus allowing rotation of the handle about the flange , Although such a flange is easier to attach permanently to the flank of the door panel than a sleeve, since the space available in the depth direction of the door for such a flange is limited, it is difficult to sufficiently suppress a lurching of the door handle about a vertical axis, so that the problem of accurately guiding the pivotal movement of the door handle is only partially solved.

Eine andere bekannte Konstruktion verwendet ein fest an der seitlichen Flanke des Türblatts angebrachtes Fußstück, und der Türgriff durchsetzt einen zwischen dem Fußstück und der Flanke des Türblatts gebildeten Spalt, in den auch ein die Schwenkachse des Türgriffs bildender Zapfen des Fußstücks eingreift. Da auch hier die Tiefe, über die der Türgriff an der Flanke des Türblatts geführt ist, durch die Tiefe des Türblatts begrenzt ist, bleibt es auch hier schwierig, ein Schlingern des Türgriffs um eine vertikale Achse ausreichend zu unterdrücken. Außerdem wird das über die Flanke und den Griff hinaus seitlich überstehende Fußstück als ästhetisch störend empfunden.Another known construction uses a fixedly attached to the lateral edge of the door leaf foot piece, and the door handle passes through a gap formed between the foot piece and the edge of the door leaf, in which engages a pivot axis of the door handle forming pin of the foot piece. Again, since the depth over which the door handle is guided on the flank of the door leaf is limited by the depth of the door leaf, it remains difficult here to sufficiently suppress a lurching of the door handle about a vertical axis. In addition, over the flank and the handle laterally projecting foot is perceived as aesthetically disturbing.

Aus US 2 405 887 A ist eine Kühlraumtür bekannt, an der ein als Öffnungshilfe fungierender zweiarmiger Hebel mittels eines an der Außenseite der Tür verschraubten Beschlagteils befestigt ist.Out US 2 405 887 A a refrigerator door is known, is attached to a acting as an opening aid two-armed lever by means of a screwed to the outside of the door fitting.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist, eine Tür für ein Kältegerät mit einem Türblatt und einem Türgriff zu schaffen, bei der der Türgriff ein zur Befestigung an einer seitlichen Flanke des Türblatts ausgelegtes Fußstück, einen in Bezug auf das Fußstück um eine zu der seitlichen Flanke im wesentlichen senkrechte Achse schwenkbaren Griffkörper und einen an die Schwenkbewegung gekoppelt beweglichen Stößel, der als Türöffnungshilfe dienen kann, umfasst, und die es erlaubt, die Stellung der Schwenkachse exakt festzulegen und ein Schlingern bei der Betätigung des Türgriffs zu unterdrücken.The object of the invention is to provide a door for a refrigerator with a door leaf and a door handle, wherein the door handle designed for attachment to a side edge of the door leaf foot piece, with respect to the footpiece to one to the lateral edge substantially perpendicular Axis pivotable handle body and a pivotable movement coupled to the movable plunger, which can serve as a door opening aid includes, and which allows to accurately determine the position of the pivot axis and to suppress a lurching in the operation of the door handle.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Tür mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.The object is achieved by a door with the features of claim 1.

Vorzugsweise hat hierfür das Fußstück eine winkelartige Gestalt mit einem ersten Schenkel, der an der seitlichen Flanke des Türblatts befestigt ist, und einem zweiten Schenkel, der sich vor der Vorderseite des Türblatts erstreckt, wobei die Achse in dem zweiten Schenkel gehalten ist. Je länger dieser zweite Schenkel ist, umso länger kann also im Bedarfsfall auch die Achse in dem Schenkel geführt werden.Preferably, for this purpose, the foot has an angular shape with a first leg which is fixed to the lateral edge of the door leaf, and a second leg which extends in front of the front side of the door leaf, wherein the axis is held in the second leg. The longer this second leg is, the longer it can therefore be performed in the leg in case of need, the axis.

Um die Schwenkbewegung des Griffkörpers auf den Stößel zu übertragen, ist die Achse zweckmäßigerweise durch eine drehfest mit dem Griffkörper verbundene Welle gebildet.In order to transmit the pivoting movement of the handle body on the plunger, the axis is advantageously formed by a rotatably connected to the handle body shaft.

Ein Lager für diese Welle kann durch zwei Halbschalen gebildet sein, von denen eine einteilig mit dem Fußstück ausgebildet ist und die andere sich an einem an dem Fußstück befestigten Teil befindet.A bearing for this shaft may be formed by two half-shells, one of which is formed integrally with the foot piece and the other is located on a part attached to the foot piece.

Um den Zusammenbau zu erleichtern, können das die zweite Halbschale aufweisende Teil und das Fußstück formschlüssig ineinander greifend ausgeführt sein.In order to facilitate the assembly, the part having the second half-shell and the foot piece can be designed to interlock positively.

Die Kopplung zwischen dem Griffkörper und dem Stößel ist vorzugsweise durch eine erste und eine zweite Verzahnung hergestellt, die miteinander kämmen. Zur Platzersparnis können die erste und/oder die zweite Verzahnung jeweils durch einen Zahnradsektor gebildet sein. Dabei ist vorzugsweise ein erster Zahnradsektor, an dem die erste Verzahnung gebildet ist, drehfest mit dem Griffkörper verbunden um die Achse drehbar.The coupling between the handle body and the plunger is preferably made by a first and a second toothing, which mesh with each other. To save space, the first and / or the second teeth may each be formed by a gear sector. In this case, preferably, a first gear sector, on which the first toothing is formed, rotatably connected to the handle body rotatable about the axis.

Bevorzugt ist ferner, dass der erste Zahnradsektor eine in Bezug auf die Achse radial innere Platte und eine in Bezug auf die innere Platte 31) axial vom Griffkörper fort versetzte äußere Platte (32) umfasst, an deren äußerem Rand die erste Verzahnung gebildet ist. Dies erlaubt es, den Übergang zwischen den zwei Schenkeln des Fußstücks gefällig abzurunden.It is further preferred that the first gear sector comprises a radially inner plate relative to the axis and an outer plate (32) axially offset from the handle body with respect to the inner plate 31, on the outer edge of which the first toothing is formed. This makes it possible to compliment the transition between the two legs of the foot piece complacent.

Zu dem gleichen Zweck ist es zweckmäßig, dass der erste Zahnradsektor einen zylindersektor- oder kegelstumpfsektorförmigen Abschnitt aufweist.For the same purpose it is expedient that the first gear sector has a sector of a cylinder sector or truncated cone sector.

Dieser zylindersektor- oder kegelstumpfsektorförmige Abschnitt kann eine Aussparung begrenzen, in der eine auf den Griffkörper wirkende Rückstellfeder untergebracht ist.This cylinder sector or frusto-conical portion may define a recess in which a return spring acting on the handle body is housed.

Um eine Montage der Tür mit wechselnden Anschlägen zu ermöglichen, ist es zweckmäßig, dass die Rückstellfeder in zwei zueinander spiegelbildlichen Konfigurationen montierbar ist, um den Griffkörper aus je nach Art des Anschlags in unterschiedliche Richtungen ausgelenkten Stellungen in eine gemeinsame Ruhestellung zurück zu treiben.In order to enable installation of the door with changing stops, it is expedient that the return spring can be mounted in two mutually mirror-image configurations to drive the handle body from depending on the type of attack in different directions deflected positions in a common rest position.

Um die Schwenkbewegung des Griffkörpers exakt zu führen und ein axiales Verrutschen der Verzahnungen gegeneinander auszuschließen, kann an dem ersten Zahnradsektor ein radialer Vorsprung gebildet sein, der zusammen mit der ersten Verzahnung an dem ersten Zahnradsektor einen Zwischenraum begrenzt, und ein Steg des Fußstücks greift in diesen Zwischenraum ein.To exactly guide the pivoting movement of the handle body and exclude an axial slippage of the teeth against each other, a radial projection may be formed on the first gear sector, which together with the first toothing on the first Gear sector limits a gap, and a web of the foot engages in this space.

Wiederum im Hinblick auf die Möglichkeit einer Montage mit wechselnden Anschlägen ist zweckmäßigerweise ein Anschlagkörper zum Begrenzen der Schwenkbewegungsfreiheit des Griffs an dem Fußstück in zwei zueinander spiegelbildlichen Konfigurationen befestigbar.Again, in view of the possibility of mounting with changing stops a stopper body for limiting the pivoting freedom of the handle on the foot piece in two mutually mirror-image configurations is expediently fastened.

Die zweite Verzahnung ist vorzugsweise an einem zweiten Zahnradsektor gebildet, der den Stößel trägt.The second toothing is preferably formed on a second gear sector, which carries the plunger.

Auch der Stößel ist, um eine Montage der Tür wahlweise mit Rechts- oder Linksanschlag zu ermöglichen, vorzugsweise in zwei zueinander spiegelbildlichen Konfigurationen befestigbar. Zur Sicherung des Stößels an dem zweiten Zahnradsektor kann zweckmäßigerweise vorgesehen werden, dass eine Welle des Fußstücks, um die der zweite Zahnradsektor drehbar ist, hohl ist, und dass ein Fortsatz des Stößels in die hohle Welle eingreift.Also, the plunger is to allow mounting of the door with either right or left stop, preferably in two mutually mirror-image configurations fastened. To secure the plunger to the second gear sector can be conveniently provided that a shaft of the foot, about which the second gear sector is rotatable, hollow, and that an extension of the plunger engages in the hollow shaft.

Wiederum im Hinblick auf eine mögliche Montage der Tür mit Links- oder Rechtsanschlag ist der Griffkörper vorzugsweise an einem um die Achse schwenkbaren Träger in zwei zueinander spiegelbildlichen Konfigurationen befestigbar.Again, with regard to a possible installation of the door with left or right stop the handle body is preferably fastened to a pivotable about the axis carrier in two mutually mirror-image configurations.

Fig. 1 ist eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Ausschnitts aus einer Kältegerätetür gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung. Die Kältegerätetür umfasst ein Türblatt 1, das in herkömmlicher Weise zusammengefügt ist aus einem Außenblech 2 und einer Kunststoffplatine 3, die zusammen einen Hohlraum 4 begrenzen. Der Hohlraum 4 ist bei der fertigen Tür mit einem isolierenden Schaumstoffmaterial ausgefüllt, welches in der Ansicht der Fig. 1 weggelassen ist. Das Außenblech 2 bildet eine Vorderseite 5 des Türblatts sowie zwei seitliche Flanken 6, von denen in der Fig. nur eine gezeigt ist. Die Kunststoffplatine 3 bildet die einem Innenraum eines hier nicht gezeigten Kältegeräts zugewandte Rückseite des Türblatts 1 und ist mit dem Außenblech 2 an einer durch eine umlaufende Magnetdichtung 7 verborgenen Stelle verbunden. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a refrigerator door according to the present invention. The refrigerator door comprises a door leaf 1, which in conventional Manner is assembled from an outer panel 2 and a plastic plate 3, which together define a cavity 4. The cavity 4 is filled in the finished door with an insulating foam material, which in the view of Fig. 1 is omitted. The outer panel 2 forms a front side 5 of the door leaf and two lateral flanks 6, of which in the Fig. Only one is shown. The plastic circuit board 3 forms the rear side of the door panel 1 facing an interior of a refrigeration device, not shown here, and is connected to the outer panel 2 at a location concealed by a peripheral magnetic seal 7.

Ein Türgriff 8 umfasst ein Fußstück 9 und einen Griffkörper 10, hier in Form einer vertikalen Stange. Das Fußstück 9 hat, wie insbesondere in dem Schnitt der Fig. 3 zu erkennen, eine winkelähnliche Gestalt mit zwei Schenkeln 11, 12, die an einer abgerundeten Ecke 13 ineinander übergehen, und ist starr an der Flanke 6 des Türblatts 1 montiert. Der an der Flanke 6 befestigte Schenkel 11 hat eine dem Türblatt 1 zugewandte Aussparung 14, deren Kontur dem Querschnitt des Türblatts 1 exakt folgt und sich an eine die Vorderseite 5 und die Flanke 6 des Außenblechs 2 verbindende Rundung anschmiegt. Am Ende des sich aus der Ebene der Flanke 6 heraus vor der Vorderseite 5 erstreckenden Schenkels 12 ist der Griffkörper 10 um eine als strichpunktierte Linie dargestellte Achse 15 schwenkbar montiert.A door handle 8 comprises a foot piece 9 and a handle body 10, here in the form of a vertical bar. The foot 9 has, as in particular in the section of Fig. 3 to recognize an angle-like shape with two legs 11, 12, which merge into one another at a rounded corner 13, and is rigidly mounted on the flank 6 of the door panel 1. The attached to the flank 6 leg 11 has a door leaf 1 facing recess 14 whose contour follows the cross section of the door panel 1 exactly and conforms to a front side 5 and the edge 6 of the outer panel 2 connecting rounding. At the end of the out of the plane of the flank 6 out in front of the front side 5 extending leg 12 of the handle body 10 is pivotally mounted about an axis 15 shown as a dotted line.

Das Fußstück 9 ist zusammengefügt aus einem belastbaren Trägerteil 16 und einer Abdeckung 17, die die Außenseite des Winkels bildet und in der Darstellung der Fig. 1 das Trägerteil 16 größtenteils verdeckt. In einem Hohlraum des Fußstücks 9, zwischen dem Trägerteil 16 und der Abdeckung 17, ist eine Mechanik zur Übertragung der Schwenkbewegung des Griffkörpers 10 um die Achse 15 auf einen Stößel 18 untergebracht. Der in Fig. 1 nicht sichtbare Stößel 18 ist vorgesehen, um an einer vom Betrachter der Fig. 1 abgewandten Spitze des Schenkels 11 auszufahren, um das Türblatt 1 vom Korpus eines Kältegeräts, an dem es montiert ist, abzustoßen, wenn ein Benutzer den Griffkörper 10 um die Achse 15 in Richtung des Pfeils 19 der Fig. 1 schwenkt.The foot piece 9 is composed of a resilient support member 16 and a cover 17, which forms the outside of the angle and in the illustration of Fig. 1 the support member 16 largely hidden. In a cavity of the foot piece 9, between the support part 16 and the cover 17, a mechanism for transmitting the pivoting movement of the handle body 10 about the axis 15 is housed on a plunger 18. The in Fig. 1 invisible plunger 18 is provided to one of the viewer of the Fig. 1 extended tip of the leg 11 extend to repel the door panel 1 from the body of a refrigerator to which it is mounted when a user, the handle body 10 about the axis 15 in the direction of arrow 19 of Fig. 1 swings.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine Seitenansicht des Türgriffs 8, wobei die Abdeckung 17 fortgelassen ist, um den inneren Aufbau des Fußstücks 9 zu zeigen. Das Trägerteil 16 ist ein Formteil aus einem festen Kunststoff oder einem Metall. In einem vorderen Bereich des Trägerteils 16, entsprechend dem Anteil des Trägerteils an der Rundung 13 und dem vorderen Bereich des Schenkels 11 vor der Aussparung 14, links in der Fig. 2, ist eine geräumige Aussparung 20 gebildet, die oben und unten durch die Abdeckung 17 stützende Wände 21 begrenzt ist. In der Aussparung 20 ist ein Zahnradsektor 22 untergebracht. Der Zahnradsektor 22 ist, wie insbesondere in Fig. 3 zu sehen, über eine Welle 23 einteilig mit einem Adapterteil 24 verbunden, das in eine an der Rückseite des Griffkörpers 10 gebildete Nut 25 eingreift und an dem Griffkörper 10 verrastet und mit Hilfe von nicht gezeigten, weil außerhalb der Schnittebene liegenden Schrauben lösbar befestigt ist. Die lösbare Verbindung zwischen dem Griffkörper 10 und dem Adapterteil 24 erlaubt die Verwendung von Griffkörpern 10 aus unterschiedlichen Werkstoffen oder mit unterschiedlichen Erscheinungsbildern der Oberfläche in Verbindung mit ein- und demselben Fußstück 9, so dass der erfindungsgemäße Griff mit wenig Aufwand an das Erscheinungsbild von unterschiedlichen Kältegerätemodellen angepasst werden kann. Fig. 2 shows a side view of the door handle 8, wherein the cover 17 is omitted to show the internal structure of the foot piece 9. The support member 16 is a molded part of a solid plastic or a metal. In a front region of the support part 16, corresponding to the proportion of the support part at the rounding 13 and the front region of the Schenkel 11 in front of the recess 14, left in the Fig. 2 , a spacious recess 20 is formed which is bounded above and below by the cover 17 supporting walls 21. In the recess 20, a gear sector 22 is housed. The gear sector 22 is, as in particular in Fig. 3 can be seen, via a shaft 23 integrally connected to an adapter part 24 which engages in a formed on the back of the handle body 10 groove 25 and locked to the handle body 10 and releasably secured by means not shown, because lying outside the cutting plane screws. The detachable connection between the handle body 10 and the adapter part 24 allows the use of handle bodies 10 made of different materials or with different appearances of the surface in conjunction with one and the same foot piece 9, so that the handle according to the invention with little effort to the appearance of different refrigerator models can be adjusted.

Die Welle 23 ist spielfrei drehbar gehalten zwischen einer ersten Halbschale 26, die, wie in Fig. 4 zu erkennen, durch das Trägerteil 16 des Fußstücks 9 selbst gebildet ist, und einer zweiten Halbschale 27, die durch ein an das Trägerteil 16 angefügtes Formteil 28 aus Kunststoff gebildet ist. Die Halbschalen erstrecken sich in dem Schenkel 12 des Fußstücks 9. Da die Länge, die der Schenkel 12 haben kann, nicht eng begrenzt ist, können auch die Halbschalen 26, 27 problemlos in der Breite realisiert werden, die für eine präzise, nicht schlingernde Führung der Welle 23 erforderlich ist.The shaft 23 is rotatably supported without play between a first half-shell 26, which, as in Fig. 4 can be seen, is formed by the support member 16 of the foot 9 itself, and a second half-shell 27 which is formed by a attached to the support member 16 molding 28 made of plastic. The half-shells extend in the leg 12 of the foot piece 9. Since the length which the leg 12 can have is not narrowly limited, the half-shells 26, 27 can also be easily realized in the width required for a precise, non-lurching guidance the shaft 23 is required.

In dem Formteil 28 und dem Trägerteil 16 sind oberhalb und unterhalb der Halbschalen 26, 27 jeweils Bohrungen 29 gebildet, die vorgesehen sind, um Schrauben zur Befestigung des Formteils 28 an dem Trägerteil 16 aufzunehmen. Wie man in Fig. 4 sieht, sind die Bohrungen 29 im Trägerteil 16 jeweils von kurzen zylindrischen Zapfen 30 umgeben, die form- und reibschlüssig in das Formteil 28 eingreifen und diesem bereits einen vorläufigen Halt an dem Trägerteil 16 geben, wenn beide ineinander gesteckt sind. Dies erleichtert den Zusammenbau des Trägerteils 16, des Formteils 28 und des zwischen ihnen drehbar gehalterten, aus dem Adapterteil 24, der Welle 23 und dem Zahnradsektor 22 einstückig gebildeten Teil.In the molded part 28 and the support member 16 are above and below the half-shells 26, 27 respectively bores 29 are formed, which are provided to receive screws for fixing the molding 28 to the support member 16. How to get in Fig. 4 sees, the holes 29 in the support member 16 are each surrounded by short cylindrical pins 30 which engage positively and frictionally in the molded part 28 and this already give a temporary hold on the support member 16 when both are inserted into one another. This facilitates the assembly of the support member 16, the molded part 28 and the rotatably supported Erten between them, from the adapter part 24, the shaft 23 and the gear sector 22 integrally formed part.

Wie insbesondere in den Fig. 2 und 3 zu erkennen ist, umfasst der Zahnradsektor 22 eine in Bezug auf die Achse 15 radial innere Platte 31, eine in Bezug auf die innere Platte 31 axial versetzte äußere Platte 32, an deren äußerem Rand eine Verzahnung 33 gebildet ist, und einen die Platten 31, 32 verbindenden Abschnitt 34 in Form eines Kegelstumpfsektors.As in particular in the FIGS. 2 and 3 As can be seen, the gear sector 22 comprises a with respect to the axis 15 radially inner plate 31, one with respect to the inner plate 31 axially offset outer plate 32, at the outer edge of a toothing 33 is formed, and a plate 31, 32 connecting portion 34 in the form of a truncated cone sector.

Die innere Platte 31 ist über den kegelstumpfförmigen Abschnitt hinaus radial nach außen durch eine Zunge 50 verlängert, die in einen Spalt des Trägerteils 16 eingreift. Ein vertikaler Steg 53 des Trägerteils 16 erstreckt sich in dem Zwischenraum zwischen der Zunge 50 und der äußeren Platte 32 und füllt ihn in der Breite weitgehend aus, so dass die Verzahnung 33 nicht einer mit ihr kämmenden Verzahnung seitlich ausweichen kann und ein auf den Griffkörper ausgeübtes Drehmoment zuverlässig überträgt.The inner plate 31 is extended beyond the frusto-conical portion radially outward by a tongue 50 which engages a gap of the support member 16. A vertical web 53 of the support member 16 extends in the space between the tongue 50 and the outer plate 32 and largely fills it in the width, so that the teeth 33 can not escape laterally of a meshing with her teeth and exercised on the handle body Transmits torque reliably.

Eine Zugfeder 35 ist zwischen einem von der inneren Platte 31 abstehenden Stift 36 und einem benachbart zu der oberen Wand 21 in die Aussparung 20 eingreifenden Stift 37 des Trägerteils 16 gespannt. Die Zugfeder 35 hält den Türgriff in einer ersten Anschlagstellung, in der sich die Griffstange 10 vertikal erstreckt.A tension spring 35 is stretched between a protruding from the inner plate 31 pin 36 and an adjacent to the upper wall 21 into the recess 20 engaging pin 37 of the support member 16. The tension spring 35 holds the door handle in a first stop position in which the handle bar 10 extends vertically.

Die erste Anschlagstellung ist festgelegt durch den Anschlag eines oberen Randes der äußeren Platte 32 an einem Anschlagkörper 38, der lösbar auf einen T-förmigen Zapfen 39 des Trägerteils 16 aufgesteckt ist. Das Trägerteil 16 ist spiegelsymmetrisch in Bezug auf eine horizontale Ebene, so dass ein Stift 37' und ein Zapfen 39' jeweils entsprechend dem Stift 37 und dem Zapfen 39 auch benachbart zur unteren Wand 21 vorhanden sind. Da im gezeigten Zustand der Zapfen 39' keinen Anschlagkörper trägt, behindert er die Schwenkbewegung des Zahnradsektors 22 nicht, dieser ist aus der gezeigten Stellung im Uhrzeigersinn um die Achse 15 schwenkbar, bis ein unterer Rand der äußeren Platte 32 gegen die untere Wand 21 stößt.The first stop position is determined by the stop of an upper edge of the outer plate 32 on a stopper body 38 which is detachably mounted on a T-shaped pin 39 of the support member 16. The support member 16 is mirror-symmetrical with respect to a horizontal plane, so that a pin 37 'and a pin 39' each corresponding to the pin 37 and the pin 39 also adjacent to the lower wall 21 are present. Since in the state shown the pin 39 'carries no stop body, he does not hinder the pivoting movement of the gear sector 22, this is from the position shown in the clockwise direction about the axis 15 pivotally until a lower edge of the outer plate 32 abuts against the lower wall 21.

Die in Fig. 2 gezeigte Konfiguration des Türgriffs entspricht einer Montage an der rechten Flanke eines Türblatts, wie in Fig. 1 gezeigt. Um den gleichen Griff spiegelbildlich an der linken Flanke eines Türblatts montieren zu können, muss der Griffkörper 10 vom Adapterteil 24 gelöst und kopfüber daran wieder montiert werden, die Zugfeder 35 wird vom Stift 37 auf den Stift 37' umgehängt, und der Anschlagkörper 38 wird vom Zapfen 39 auf den Zapfen 39' umgesteckt. In beiden Positionen legt der Anschlagkörper eine Anschlagposition fest, in der die Griffstange 10 vertikal ausgerichtet ist; die Richtung, in die die Griffstange aus dieser Anschlagposition heraus schwenkbar ist, ist jedoch jeweils vertauscht.In the Fig. 2 shown configuration of the door handle corresponds to a mounting on the right flank of a door leaf, as in Fig. 1 shown. In order to mount the same handle mirror-inverted on the left flank of a door leaf, the handle body 10 must be detached from the adapter part 24 and mounted upside down, the tension spring 35 is umgehängt from the pin 37 on the pin 37 ', and the stopper body 38 is from Pin 39 on the pin 39 'repositioned. In both positions, the stopper body defines a stop position in which the handlebar 10 is vertically aligned; However, the direction in which the handlebar from this stop position is pivoted out, however, is reversed.

In einem rückwärtigen Bereich des Trägerteils 16 in Höhe der Aussparung 14, bezogen auf Fig. 2 auf der rechten Seite, ist die Tiefe der Aussparung 20 auf ca. 1 mm reduziert. Oberhalb und unterhalb der Aussparung befinden sich zwei angesenkte Bohrungen 42, die vorgesehen sind, um flachköpfige Schrauben zur Befestigung des Trägerteils 16 an der Flanke 6 des Türblatts 1 aufzunehmen.In a rear region of the support member 16 in the amount of the recess 14, based on Fig. 2 on the right side, the depth of the recess 20 is reduced to about 1 mm. Above and below the recess are two countersunk holes 42 which are provided to accommodate flat-headed screws for fixing the support member 16 on the flank 6 of the door panel 1.

In der Aussparung 20 ist. zwischen den Bohrungen 42 ein zweiter Zahnradsektor 43 aufgenommen, dessen Verzahnung 44 mit der Verzahnung 33 des ersten Sektors 22 kämmt. Der Zahnradsektor 43 ist an einem flachen, hohlen Zapfen 45 des Trägerteils 16 drehbar aufgehängt. Eine geradlinige rückwärtige Kante 46 des Zahnradsektors 43 fluchtet in der in Fig. 2 gezeigten Konfiguration mit der als punktierte Linie eingezeichneten Hinterkante der Abdeckung 17, so dass in dieser Konfiguration der Zahnradsektor 43 von außen nicht sichtbar ist. Lediglich ein Teil eines Stößels 18 steht über diese Hinterkante über.In the recess 20 is. between the holes 42, a second gear sector 43 is received, the toothing 44 meshes with the teeth 33 of the first sector 22. The gear sector 43 is rotatably suspended on a flat, hollow pin 45 of the support member 16. A rectilinear rear edge 46 of the gear sector 43 is aligned in the in Fig. 2 shown configuration with the dotted line trailing edge of the cover 17, so that in this configuration, the gear sector 43 is not visible from the outside. Only a part of a plunger 18 is above this trailing edge.

Der Stößel 18 ist in eine von zwei Kerben 48 eingefügt, die spiegelsymmetrisch bezüglich einer horizontalen Ebene in dem Zahnradsektor 43 gebildet sind. Wie man an der oberen der zwei Kerben 48 sieht, ist diese lediglich in einem radial äußeren Bereich vollständig ausgeschnitten; in einem inneren Bereich 49 ist lediglich eine Vertiefung gebildet. Der Stößel 18 greift formschlüssig in die untere Kerbe 48 ein und ist dadurch an die Drehung des Zahnradsektors 43 gekoppelt. Der Stößel 18 trägt zwei der Drehachse der Verzahnung 44 zuwandte Zungen, eine kurze, die die Vertiefung 49 ausfüllt, und eine längere, flexible Zunge 51, die sich durch einen schmalen Spalt zwischen der Flanke 6 des Türblatts und dem Trägerteil 16 zu der Drehachse des Zahnradsektors 43 erstreckt und in den hohlen Zapfen 45 eingreift. Der Eingriff, hier gebildet durch eine geschlitzte Hülse 52, verhindert, dass der Stößel 47 in radialer Richtung von dem Zahnradsektor 43 abgleitet.The plunger 18 is inserted in one of two notches 48, which are formed mirror-symmetrically with respect to a horizontal plane in the gear sector 43. As can be seen on the upper of the two notches 48, this is completely cut out only in a radially outer region; in an inner region 49 only one depression is formed. The plunger 18 engages positively in the lower notch 48 and is thereby coupled to the rotation of the gear sector 43. The plunger 18 carries two tongues facing the axis of rotation of the toothing 44, a short one which fills the recess 49, and a longer, flexible tongue 51 extending through a narrow gap between the flank 6 of the door leaf and the support part 16 to the axis of rotation of the door Gear sector 43 extends and engages in the hollow pin 45. The engagement, formed here by a slotted sleeve 52, prevents the plunger 47 from sliding off the gear sector 43 in the radial direction.

Um den Türgriff 8 in eine zur Montage an einer linken Flanke eines Türblatts geeignete, spiegelbildliche Konfiguration umzubauen, wird die Hülse 52 aus dem hohlen Zapfen 45 heraus gedrückt, so dass der Stößel 18 radial abgezogen werden kann, anschließend wird der Stößel 18 in die andere Kerbe 48 eingesteckt und in dieser ebenfalls durch einen Eingriff der Hülse 52 in den hohlen Zapfen 45 verrastet.In order to convert the door handle 8 into a mirror-image configuration suitable for mounting on a left flank of a door panel, the sleeve 52 is pushed out of the hollow pin 45 so that the plunger 18 can be withdrawn radially, then the plunger 18 becomes the other Notch 48 inserted and locked in this also by an engagement of the sleeve 52 in the hollow pin 45.
