Definitions

  • This invention addresses the technical field relating to the manufacture of doors, windows and the like and more specifically concerns a handle body with a connecting device by which the handle body can be fitted to a frame for a door, window or the like, whose structure can be made from metal profiles.
  • the recessed design of the handle body allows the latter to be housed in a matching slot formed in the structure of the frame of the door, window or the like.
  • the recessed design also allows the user to insert a finger into the hollow in order to open or close the mobile part of the door, window or the like.
  • the handle body is also equipped with a connecting device which allows it to be connected to the structure of the door, window or the like.
  • the closed or locked configuration of the mobile part of the door, window or the like can be obtained by sliding a boss (or a catch, depending on the type of door, window or the like) relative to a fixed striker.
  • the sliding command can be imparted in totally manual manner by inserting a finger in the recess of the handle body and activating a control element housed in the recess and sliding the control element in one of the two directions of travel of the recess.
  • Locking In devices that operate semi-automatically, unlocking is accomplished manually in exactly the same way. Locking, on the other hand, is accomplished by the elastic return of a spring which - after being loaded and set by a hooking mechanism during unlocking - reactivates the device's lock when the user voluntarily presses a button mounted on the handle body.
  • the handle body is fixed to the structure of the door, window or the like by a system of wedges which substantially comprises a fixed jaw built into the handle body and a movable jaw that moves in a guide relative to the fixed jaw under the action of a grub screw.
  • a system of wedges which substantially comprises a fixed jaw built into the handle body and a movable jaw that moves in a guide relative to the fixed jaw under the action of a grub screw.
  • the degree of tightening obtainable depends solely on the intensity of the force applied to the grub screw.
  • the extent of forcing obtainable thus depends entirely on the expertise of the installer who, according to the type of handle body and frame structure (for a door, exterior entrance door and/or window) must decide how much force must be applied to the grub screw in order to tighten it to an extent such as to properly secure the handle body, this also being determined by the material the frame structure is made of.
  • the first disadvantage is that in practice the degree of tightening is never uniformly repeatable but varies from one installation to another even for a single range of doors, windows or the like of the same kind.
  • Recessed handle bodies with connecting devices according to the preamble of claim 1 are known from documents FR 2 712 337 and EP 1 039 070 .
  • This invention therefore has for an aim to overcome the above mentioned disadvantages by providing a handle body with a connection device which can be housed in a slot in the frame structure of a door, window or the like and which is made in such a way that the degree of tightening can be derived from a tightening torque and not from a force.
  • the installer can apply a practically constant force for all the different types of door, window or like installations, where such force will correspond to a different tightening torque for each different type of handle body, the intensity of the force being adapted to the type of door, window or the like and to the specific type of frame for that.
  • the handle body with a connecting device also has the added advantage of being of a general purpose type not necessarily having a specific design and/or for a particular type of use. It is understood, therefore, that specific references to a recessed handle in this specification shall be construed as an example embodiment of the invention without in any way limiting the scope of the invention.
  • the numeral 1 denotes in its entirety a connecting device for fitting a handle body 2 to a door/window frame 3 (i.e. a frame for a door, window or the like) consisting, for example, of tubular metal profiles, and having a slot 4 made in such a way that the handle body 2 can be accommodated inside a tubular chamber in the door/window frame 3 itself substantially flush with an outside wall 5 of the frame.
  • a door/window frame 3 i.e. a frame for a door, window or the like
  • a slot 4 made in such a way that the handle body 2 can be accommodated inside a tubular chamber in the door/window frame 3 itself substantially flush with an outside wall 5 of the frame.
  • the device 1 substantially comprises:
  • the handle body 2 in the embodiment illustrated, has a vertically elongated shape, preferably recessed, that is to say, having the concave shape of a shell, delimited by a boundary wall 10, with the first, fixed member 6 being directly built into the top thereof.
  • the device according to the invention can be used on different types of handles necessitating housings and fastenings similar to these, without thereby limiting the scope of the invention.
  • the second member 7 substantially comprises a curved, stubby body having a first end 11 hinged at 22 to the handle body 2, and a second, free end 12 preferably shaped to match the boundary of an inside edge 14 of the abutment wall 8 of the slot 4.
  • first end 11 is hinged to a flange 13 made as one with the handle body 2.
  • the flange 13 is positioned towards the inside of the door/window frame 3, and hence the articulated joint 22 is located on the flange 13 and at a suitable distance from the slot 4 wall 8 designed to engage the free end 12 of the second member 7.
  • the hinge point 22 is located on the innermost end of the flange 13 and inside the tubular chamber of the door/window frame 3.
  • the end 12 of the second member 7 can be positioned to face and locked to the edge 14 of the wall 8.
  • the second member 7 also has a back 15 with a curved profile whose convexity extends in the direction of the first, fixed member 6 and towards the first, fixed member 6 itself.
  • the profiled back 15 also has a housing 16 recessed towards the inside of the curved profile.
  • the tightening means are embodied by a threaded rod 9, that is a grub screw, that is engaged by a matching thread made on the first fixed member 6.
  • the threaded rod 9 passes through the shell wall 10 and, thanks to the presence of a respective hole 21 on the wall 10 that bounds the handle body 2, extends towards the second, movable member 7.
  • the rod 9 applies to the back 15, that is, to the seat 16 recessed in it, a pushing action directed along its axis of symmetry 17 which substantially intersects at an angle close to 90° an imaginary straight line 18 joining the two ends of the second member 7, namely the free end 12 and the hinged end 11.
  • the second, movable member 7 constitutes a third-class lever where the effort force is applied by the threaded rod 9, while the load force is applied by the wall 8 on the free end 12 of the lever.
  • a structure of this kind is highly advantageous. First of all that is because it is entirely independent of the type and size of the tubular profile of the door/window frame, since the interaction of the lever with the profile of the door/window frame - whatever its type - is always and in all cases applied to the outermost wall 8, which is evidently the only element that all the different types of profiles must have in common.
  • a second important advantage is due to the fact that the lever has a projecting portion, that is, the part 23 of the second member 7 between the rod 9 and the wall 8, and thus the part 23 has a certain elasticity that provides an elastically tight fit.
  • the handle body 2 has a slit 19 made in the wall 10 bounding the recess of the handle body 2 and shaped in such a way as to engage an opposite lower portion 5 of the wall around the slot 4.
  • the handle body 2 can be mounted on the door/window frame 3 - as shown in Figures 2 and 3 - by inserting the handle body 2 into the door/window frame 3 through the slot 4.
  • the handle body 2 is engaged by the slit 19 in the lower wall 5 in such a way as to lock to the latter and line up vertically with the slot 4, as in the configurations shown in Figures 3 and 4 .
  • the shape of the back 15 of the second, movable member 7 makes it possible to minimize the stroke of the rod 9 during tightening.
  • the recessed housing 16 its position and orientation are such as to allow the rod 9 to operate with minimum or zero bending in such a way as to obtain regular and stable tightening while at the same time allowing the possibility of removing the handle body 2 from the slot 4 and remounting it whenever necessary, even several times, without having to replace the threaded rod 9 which, since it can operate by purely axial force, is not in any way damaged when tightened.
