Definitions

  • the present invention relates to handles for doors of furniture units and has been developed with particular reference to handles for doors for electrical household appliances, in particular, by way of example, refrigerating or cooking appliances.
  • handles provided with a generally elongated grip element, having two opposite end regions associated to which are respective support elements, which are in turn fixed on a lateral edge of the door of the electrical household appliance.
  • This type of handles is typically used, for example, on refrigerating appliances, such as refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator-freezers, with one or more doors.
  • the grip element is formed in a single full body, defined at two ends of which are axial lateral slots within which a portion of a respective plate-like support element can be received.
  • the terminal portion of the support element is fixed in position via a threaded grubscrew, screwed in a corresponding threaded hole of the grip element.
  • the grip element is axially hollow at its two opposite ends, at which also a respective axial lateral slot is provided.
  • the distal end of the support elements is shaped in a way substantially complementary to the shape of the corresponding axial cavity of the grip element, and coupling between the parts does not require additional fixing elements.
  • the first embodiment described in the cited document is relatively simple but entails the use of grubscrews, which, for aesthetic reasons, must be of very small dimensions. This complicates to a certain extent the step of assembly of the handle.
  • the solution also implies the risk of possible occasional sliding-out of the grip element from a support element, following upon repeated use of the handle.
  • the second embodiment presupposes, instead, a very precise coupling between the ends of the support elements and the corresponding axial cavities and slots of the grip element: this complicates production of the components of the handle.
  • DE102011087756A1 discloses a handle according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a handle of the type indicated above that is simple and inexpensive to produce and assemble.
  • references to "an embodiment” or “one embodiment” in the framework of the present description is meant to indicate that a particular configuration, structure, or characteristic described in relation to the embodiment is comprised in at least one embodiment.
  • phrases such as “in an embodiment”, “in one embodiment”, and the like, that may be present in various points of this description do not necessarily all refer to one and the same embodiment.
  • the particular configurations, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any adequate way in one or more embodiments.
  • the references used in what follows are only provided for convenience and not define the sphere of protection or the scope of the embodiments.
  • the appliance 1 is a refrigerated cabinet for domestic use, comprising a load-bearing structure 2 associated to which are two front doors 3 for enabling access and closing of respective refrigerating compartments.
  • the refrigerated cabinet 1 is of the so-called "combo" type, with a refrigerating compartment set above of a freezing compartment.
  • Each door 3 is articulated to the structure 2 - via hinges made in a way in itself known - so as to turn according to a generally vertical axis.
  • Fixed to the longitudinal side 3a of the doors 3, opposite to the aforesaid hinges, are two handles, designated by 4, which here are assumed as being identical to one another.
  • FIG. 2 and 3 A possible embodiment of a handle 4 may be seen in Figures 2 and 3 .
  • the handle 4 includes a grip element 5, having a generally elongated shape.
  • a support element 6 which can be fixed to a door 3, in particular at a side 3a thereof.
  • FIG. 4 Shown in Figure 4 is a possible embodiment of a support element 6, which has, in a distal end region, a respective coupling portion, designated as a whole by 7, having a lateral profile, preferably a shaped lateral profile.
  • the proximal end region of the element 6 is provided with corresponding means, described hereinafter, for fixing of the element 6 itself to the door 3, in particular at the corresponding side 3a.
  • the element 6 has a generally curved shape, or in any case a shape such that its proximal and distal end regions extend in length in directions angled with respect to one another. In the example illustrated, for instance, the aforesaid end regions extend substantially orthogonal to one another.
  • This geometry is particularly ergonomic for application on refrigerating appliances, the doors of which are articulated according to a vertical axis of rotation.
  • the supports 6 may have a substantially rectilinear development.
  • the support element preferably has a generally flattened shape, i.e., the dimensions in length and width of which are greater than the dimension of thickness.
  • At least one support element 6 of the handle 4 has an internal core, overmoulded on which is a plastic material, to form a single body.
  • the aforesaid core is designated by 8 and is preferably constituted by a body shaped like a generally flat and elongated plate, made of metal material.
  • the core 8 is formed via shearing and shaping of a metal strap, for example made of steel or iron, having an adequate thickness for bestowing sufficient structural stiffness on the support element 6 as a whole.
  • a core 8 made of a plastic material of adequate strength, for example a thermoplastic material with suitable filler or, again, the case of a support element 4 made entirely of one or more plastic materials.
  • the plastic material moulded over the core 8 is designated by 9.
  • the overmoulded plastic material 9 coats the majority of the metal core 8. This solution is particularly advantageous in so far as it affords the possibility of providing numerous aesthetic variants of the support elements, in terms of outer shapes and colours.
  • the overmoulded material 9 practically constitutes the entire visible outer surface of the element 6, in the assembled condition of the handle 4, thereby avoiding the need for a treatment of surface finish of the core 8.
  • the metal core 8 has, in the proximal end region thereof, a through hole that can be engaged by a member for fixing the support element 4.
  • a through hole is, for example, designated by 8a in Figures 4-7 .
  • the fixing member may, for example, be a screw or the like that is to engage in a corresponding threaded hole provided on the side 3a of the door 3.
  • the plastic material 9 is overmoulded on the metal core 8 so as to define a housing seat, designated by 9a in Figures 5 and 8 , for a head portion of the aforesaid fixing member.
  • the seat 9a may be for example closed, for aesthetic purposes, by a purposely provided cover, for example fixed by snap action.
  • the core 8 is shaped, in the proximal end portion, in such a way that a stretch of its surface is directly exposed also following upon overmoulding of the plastic material 9.
  • This stretch of surface is preferably plane and is designed to rest on the side 3a of the door in order to guarantee precise fixing of the support element 6.
  • the hole 8a and the seat 9a are provided at the aforesaid shaped stretch of the core 8.
  • the grip element 5 is open at its two opposite ends and has, at each longitudinal end region, an axial cavity 5a, visible for example in Figures 5-7 .
  • the grip element 5 may be entirely axially hollow, i.e., have a tubular structure, but not excluded from the scope of the invention is the case of a full element 5, in which two blind cavities are defined at its two open ends.
  • the element 5 may, for example, be formed starting from a tubular body made of plastic or metal material, for example extruded aluminium.
  • the cross section of the element 5 is not circular, but this possible shape is not excluded from the scope of the invention.
  • the element 5 has an axial lateral slot 5b.
  • the slot 5b extends starting from the open end of the element 5, but not excluded is the case of a slot in the form of an eyelet, i.e., one that terminates at a short distance from the open end.
  • the cavity 5a and the slot 5b have the function of receiving the coupling portion 7 of a respective support element 6 in such a way that the coupling portion will extend in a transverse direction in the cavity 5a, as may be seen, for example, in Figure 7 .
  • the handle 4 further comprises a pair of retention inserts, each of which is designed to secure the coupling portion 7 of a support element 6 to the grip element 5.
  • One of the aforesaid positioning inserts is designated in the figures by 10.
  • Each insert 10 is designed to be inserted at least partially in the respective axial cavity 5a of the grip element 5, through the corresponding open longitudinal end, and hence inserted in a direction generally transverse - in particular substantially orthogonal - to the direction of extension of the coupling portion 7.
  • Each insert 10 has an outer or peripheral profile shaped for obtaining a shape coupling with at least part of the respective axial cavity 5a of the grip element, as well as a transverse slot, which defines an inner profile of the insert 10 and is shaped in such a way as to obtain a shape coupling with at least part of the lateral profile of the coupling portion 7 of the respective support element 10.
  • the insert 10 has a body - for example made of moulded plastic material - having a head portion 10a extending from which are two vertical portions 10b, generally parallel or in any case set alongside one another at a certain distance, to delimit between them the aforesaid transverse slot, designated by 11.
  • Each vertical portion 10b has an outer surface, which defines a respective portion of the peripheral profile of the insert 10, and an inner surface, which defines a respective portion of the inner profile of the insert 10, the aforesaid inner surfaces facing each other at a distance from one another so as to define the transverse slot 11.
  • the lateral profile of the coupling portion 7 is shaped and comprises one or more grooves 7a, which extend in an axial direction of the grip element 5, i.e., of the insert 10.
  • these grooves 7a are defined on both opposite major sides of the coupling portion 7.
  • the transverse slot 11 of the insert 10 comprises one or more reliefs 11 a, which extend in the same direction as the reliefs 7a.
  • the reliefs 11 a are defined in both of the facing surfaces of the slot 11, i.e., in the inner surfaces of the insert 10.
  • the reliefs 11 a and the grooves 7a contribute to rendering the ensemble more stable and to eliminate any possible play.
  • the coupling portion 7 and the insert 10 may be interfaced more simply with one another via at least one pair of plane and continuous opposite surfaces.
  • the groove or each groove 7a of the coupling portion 7 of a support element 6 is delimited laterally by plastic material 9a moulded over the core 8.
  • the bottom of the grooves 7a can be defined directly by the material of the core 8, as in the case represented in the figures, which makes it possible to reduce the amount of the overmoulded material. There is nothing in any case to rule out defining the grooves 7a completely in the overmoulded material 9.
  • the coupling portion 7 can have a length such that its front will bear upon the inner surface of the grip element 5 or else a smaller length so that the front of the portion 7 and the grip element will remain set at a distance from one another.
  • each support element 6 has, substantially at an intermediate area thereof, from which the coupling portion 7 extends, one or more shaped portions, to obtain a shape coupling with at least one from among:
  • the aforesaid portion or portions are defined by the material 9 overmoulded on the core 8.
  • one of the aforesaid shaped portions is designated by 9b and is defined in the lower part of the support element 6 so as to provide a shape coupling and a closure with respect to the edge of the bottom of the corresponding axial slot 5b of the grip element 5, as well as an end-of-travel position for the movement of insertion of the element 6 into the axial slot 5b.
  • Designated by 9c is one of two lateral portions of the element 9, configured for providing a shape coupling in regard to the vertical edges of the axial slot 5b.
  • Designated by 9d is an upper portion of the element 9, defined on the side opposite to the portion 9b, configured for providing a shape coupling in regard to a respective part of the peripheral profile of the upper portion 10a of the insert 10.
  • each support element 6 is inserted in a transverse direction into the respective axial cavity 5a of the grip element 5, via the corresponding axial slot 5b, and then the corresponding retention insert 10 is inserted into the cavity 5a itself with an axial movement, through the open end of the grip element 5.
  • the outer surface of the portions 10b of the insert 10 co-operates with the peripheral surface of the cavity 5a, whereas the opposite surfaces of the slot 11 - provided with the reliefs 11a - mate with the opposite lateral surfaces of the coupling portion 7 - provided with the grooves 7a.
  • the relative dimensions between the parts involved are chosen in such a way that coupling of the insert 10 with the cavity 5a and the coupling portion 7 will occur with at least a slight interference.
  • Use of the retention inserts enables recovery in an extremely simple and precise way of any possible production and/or assembly tolerances.
  • the insert 10 fills the gap between the coupling portion 7 and the grip element 5, thus guaranteeing stable fixing between the support element 6 and the grip element 5 so as to eliminate any possible mutual play, even minor relative rotation that might otherwise occur following upon application of a pulling force on the grip element 5 in order to open the door 3.
  • the insert 10 is first fitted on the coupling portion 7, and next the insert and portion 7 are inserted axially into the cavity 5a, exploiting the end opening of the grip element 5 and the corresponding axial slot 5b.
  • each insert 10 hence also provides a function of plug in regard to the open ends of the grip element 5, thus preventing accessibility to the space inside the grip element 5.
  • the presence of the retention insert 10 enables fixing of the support elements 6 with respect to the grip element 5 to be obtained, via an outer shape coupling (in regard to the cavity 5a) and an inner shape coupling (in regard to the coupling portion 7 of the element 6).
  • Figure 9 illustrates a variant embodiment of the invention, according to which the body of the retention insert 10 has a lateral extension, provided with at least one coupling element that can be engaged with a corresponding coupling element defined in the respective support element 6.
  • the aforesaid lateral extension 12 extends from the upper portion 10a of the body of the insert 10 in order to follow the upper profile of a part of the support element 6 and has, at its lower surface, a longitudinal groove 12a, designed for coupling with a corresponding engagement portion 13 defined along a part of the upper profile of the element 6, in particular by the overmoulded material 9.
  • the extension 12 may include also a lateral engagement tooth 12b, designed for engagement in a corresponding seat defined laterally in the element 6, in particular by the material 9.
  • a lateral engagement tooth 12b designed for engagement in a corresponding seat defined laterally in the element 6, in particular by the material 9.
  • the slot 11 of the insert 10 traverses the body of the latter in a transverse direction, but this does not constitute a characteristic that is essential for the purposes of implementation of the invention, it being possible for the slot to be closed at one end.
  • Figures 10 and 11 illustrate a variant embodiment in this sense, whereby the body of the retention insert 10 comprises a wall 10c, in a position generally opposite to the lateral slot 5b of the grip element 5, where the wall 10c joins together the two vertical portions 10b and closes the transverse slot at an end thereof.
  • the wall 10c may have a limited thickness, for example 2 mm.
  • the presence of the wall 10c makes it possible to increase further the extension of the shape coupling between the body of the insert and the peripheral surface of the cavity 5a and moreover renders the insert 10 structurally sturdier.
  • the inside of the wall 10c may include an axial relief or groove designed to mate with a relief or groove, respectively, defined at the front end of the coupling portion 7.
  • the characteristics of the present invention emerge clearly, as likewise do its advantages, amongst which in particular the simplicity and low cost of the handle proposed, in terms of production of the components and their assembly.
  • the retention insert is inserted into a corresponding axial cavity of the grip element, its presence does not constitute further encumbrance of the structure of the handle.
  • the support elements, on one side, and the retention inserts, on the other side may be identical to one another at the two ends of the grip element, there is obtained an advantage as regards the number of components to be provided. Since the retention insert is fitted in the grip element, there is obtained a very stable coupling that enables use of minimal thicknesses for the grip element, when this has a tubular structure.
  • the support elements 6 may be entirely made of plastic material, in particular moulded plastic material, even in the absence of a core.
  • the support elements could on the other hand also be entirely made of metal material.
  • the overmoulded material does not necessarily have to coat the majority of a core of the support elements.
  • the overmoulded part may be limited to the coupling portion 7 alone and to the possible portions 9b-9d, in which case the remaining part of the core 8 will be preferably provided with a surface finish, in so far as it is directly in view.
  • the handle according to the invention may be applied to electrical household appliances other than refrigerating appliances, such as for example cooking ovens.
  • the proximal end of the support elements which is preferably substantially rectilinear, may be fixed to the front of the door in the proximity of its upper edge.
  • the support elements may be entirely made of metal material, for example aluminium or steel.
