Definitions
- the invention relates to handles, for example to handles for windows and doors.
- Such handles commonly comprise a handle portion rotatable on a base portion.
- the base portion is attached to a window or door and the handle portion is provided with a spindle which passes through the base portion and into an operating mechanism so that rotation of the handle with respect to the base portion operates the mechanism and opens or closes the window or door.
- One typical form of handle is manufactured by forming the handle with a projecting boss that is passed through a hole in the base portion and is then deformed by a spin-riveting procedure to secure the handle portion and base portion together while still permitting rotation of the handle portion with respect to the base portion. The spindle is then inserted into the boss in a subsequent step
- Another type of handle uses a handle body that is made of plastics material with a metal spindle, a neck section of which can pass through an opening in a base portion. A body section of the spindle is too wide to pass through the opening in the base portion. The neck section of the spindle protruding through the opening in the body is secured in a socket of the handle by a friction fit. Disadvantages arise with this arrangement, because the engagement of the spindle in the plastic socket can degrade over time due to heavy use. The handle can then work loose from the spindle and cause the handle to malfunction.

- By way of example, a specific embodiment of the invention will now be described, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
Figure 1 is an exploded side view of an embodiment of a handle according to the invention; -
Figure 2 is a cross-sectional side view of the handle; -
Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the handle; - The principle components of the handle shown in the
Figures 1 to 3 are ahandle portion 10, abase portion 11 and aspindle 12. In use thehandle portion 10 has to be rotatably mounted on thebase portion 11 with thespindle 12 projecting from thehandle portion 10, through thebase portion 11, and into a window or door such that rotation of thehandle portion 10, with respect to thebase portion 11, causes rotation of thespindle 12 within the window or door, thus operating a mechanism of the window or door. - This embodiment of the invention is principally concerned with the way in which the
components - The handle does however include a
latch assembly 13, alocking barrel 14 and acover cap 15. - When the handle is in use, the
locking barrel 14 can be operated to lock thehandle portion 10 in position with respect to thebase portion 11, thus locking the window or door. - The
components Spindle 12 and lockingbarrel 14 are made of metal. - The
handle 10 is made of two components: abody section 10a and aspindle retainer 10b. Thebody section 10a is made of plastics material, such as ABS that is overmoulded onto thespindle retainer 10b. The plastics material may also be polyamide (PA) or polyoxymethylene (POM).The process of overmoulding is technically difficult to achieve, because thebody section 10a must be injection moulded in the presence of thespindle retainer 10b. - The
spindle retainer 10b has a projectingcircular cross-section boss 16a which projects from thebody section 10a. In addition thespindle retainer 10b hasprojections 16b that are used to ensure good retention of thespindle retainer 10b in thebody section 10a. Theboss 16a projects from thebody section 10a and through holes in thelatch assembly 13 and thebase portion 11. The location of theboss 16a within the hole in thebase portion 11 guides the handle portion for rotation with respect to thebase portion 11. - The
spindle retainer 10b is hollow with a bore sized to receive thespindle 12 in the boss 16 in an interference fit. - The
metal spindle 12 is manufactured from a length of square cross-section metal which is turned down to provide acylindrical portion 17 that is sized to engage in the bore of thespindle retainer 10b by an interference fit. Thecylindrical portion 17 retains four flat side sections corresponding to the flat sides of the square cross-section of thespindle 12. The orientation of the flats on thecylindrical portion 17 must match the orientation of the correspondingly shaped bore of the spindle reatiner10b. In addition the orientation of the square cross section of themetal spindle 12 must match the orientation of a corresponding square opening of the window or door mechanism to which the handle is fitted.
The turning down of theportion 17 provides asquare cross-section shoulder 19. - The handle is provided with a
washer 22 which has an inner diameter slightly larger than theportion 17 of thespindle 12 such that the washer can slide over theportion 17 of thespindle 12 until the washer comes to rest against thesquare cross-section shoulder 19. - The
washer 22 has an outer diameter which is too large for the washer to pass right through thehole 20 in thebase portion 11 but can fit within the larger diameter portion of the hole provided by theshoulder 21. - The main components are very simply secured together by passing the
spindle 12 through thewasher 22, through thebase portion 20, through the hole in thelatch sub-assembly 13, and into theboss 16a. The size of theportion 17 is selected to be an interference fit within theboss 16a. - To facilitate the forcing of the
portion 17 into the socket in theboss 16a, theportion 17 may be provided with a slight taper angle, for example from 0.5° to 0.75°. - In other words, the
portion 17 of thespindle 12 is forced into theboss 16a and cannot subsequently be withdrawn therefrom. Theportion 17 is securely gripped within theboss 16a and it is the grip provided by this interference fit which retains the components together, while still permitting thehandle portion 10 to rotate with respect to thebase portion 11, unless it is locked in position by operation of the lockingbarrel 14. - The way in which the locking
barrel 14 andlatch sub-assembly 13 fit within thehandle 10 is shown in the cross-sectional view ofFigure 2 but will not be described in detail, since these components are conventional. - The
base portion 11 hasholes 23 therein for mounting the base portion on a window or door. In use, one of the fixing holes 23 is concealed by thehandle 10, as shown inFigure 2 , and to make the assembly aesthetic, theother hole 23 is covered by clipping on acover cap 23a. - The
body section 10a ofhandle portion 10 andbase portion 11 may be made of any suitable plastics material, polycarbonate (PC) or ABS being preferred, alternatively PA or POM can be used. ABS has the advantage that it can be electroplated. - The
base portion 11 may be made of similar material, or may be a zinc die casting. - The
spindle 12 is preferably made from mild steel. - The cover caps 15 and 23a may also be of PC or ABS.
- The
latch assembly 13 may be of ABS or PA or POM. - The locking
barrel 14 may be of any suitable metal.
The advantageous combination of a handle body section made of plastics material and an inset section thereof made of metal allows for a lower manufacturing cost to be obtained with the cheaper plastics material body section, whilst also allowing the longevity of a metal/metal interface between the spindle and inset section. Thus the high wear area of the handle is made of metal and the body section is made of plastics material. The advantageous use of an overmoulded handle body section on the inset section allows the benefits to be fully realised.
