Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cover plate arrangement.
  • the cover plate arrangement refers to an arrangement intended for covering, for example, an opening in a door face, located at a lock, and, possibly, at a lever handle or a turn knob.
  • a door lock is installed inside a door. If the door is a wooden door, the door is provided with a fitting cavity for the lock. Metal doors as such may have a fitting space inside of them. Besides, both faces of the door are usually provided with openings, at the position of the lock, the openings allowing a lever handle or a turn knob, or a cylinder lock, to be connected to the lock, also called a lock case, recessed inside the door.
  • the opening in the door face is covered by a cover plate arrangement.
  • a cover plate arrangement an underplate is used on each side of the door, tightened against the door by screws/bolts.
  • fixing screws includes fixing bolts as well because both the designations are often used to refer to the same fixing members.
  • the cover plate is fitted on the underplate.
  • the cover plate may have small projections against the underplate, thus creating a so-called snap-in joint between the cover plate and the underplate.
  • Both the cover plate and the underplate can be provided with a center opening for a spindle and a lever handle to be mounted thereon. It is also possible that the lever handles mounted on the spindle, on each side of the door, hold the cover plate against the underplate.
  • cover plate arrangements are known from e.g. DE 296 05 522 U1 or EP 0 984 120 A1 .
  • the cover plate is provided with through-holes or projecting screw fittings for fixing screws.
  • the cover plates are tightened against the door face by the fixing screws interconnecting the cover plates on opposite sides of the door.
  • This embodiment allows a lever handle to be fixed to the cover plate by using a fixing ring.
  • the invention aims at eliminating the drawbacks of the prior art.
  • the independent claim describes how to achieve this.
  • the dependent claims disclose different embodiments of the invention.
  • the invention is based on the idea of installing the underplate already at the door factory, and, of quickly installing the cover plate firmly, unsupported by a lever handle or a turn knob.
  • the cover plate arrangement comprises a screw-mounted underplate and a cover plate to be fitted thereon.
  • the cover plate comprises a front plate and a lateral portion.
  • the lateral portion of the cover plate comprises an inward-projecting wing at the edge of the lateral portion opposite to the edge between the front plate and the lateral portion.
  • a lateral groove is left between the inner wing and the front plate.
  • the underplate comprises at least one projection transverse to the diameter of the underplate, being open at one end and connected to the rest of the underplate at the other end.
  • the inner face of the front plate comprises a first recess, a second recess and a ridge between the first recess and the second recess.
  • the first recess is arranged to be positioned at the first end of the transverse projection of the underplate.
  • the projection is arranged to yield elastically, with the first, that is, open end of the projection moving over the ridge, and, once the open end of the projection has moved over the ridge, the second recess is arranged to be positioned at the first end of the transverse projection of the underplate.
  • an edge of the underplate is arranged to move, at least partly, into the lateral groove.
  • Figure 1 shows an example of the cover plate 1 of a cover plate arrangement according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a lateral view of the cover plate of Figure 1 .
  • the cover plate of this embodiment is rectangular in shape.
  • the cover plate comprises a front plate 2 and a lateral portion 3.
  • the front plate may comprise an opening 4 for a lever handle and for the spindle thereof and/or an opening 5 for a lock cylinder.
  • the lateral portion may comprise an internally threaded hole 6 for a locking screw that may be present.
  • Figure 3 shows an example of the cover plate arrangement according to the invention, with the cover plate 1 and the underplate 7 fitted on top of each other.
  • Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the cover plate arrangement of Figure 3 .
  • the underplate is screw-mountable to a second underplate provided on the opposite side of the door.
  • the underplate comprises through-holes 8 for fixing screws.
  • the underplate also comprises a central opening 4A for a lever handle spindle and a lever handle.
  • the cover plate arrangement comprises a screw-mountable underplate 7 and a cover plate 1 to be fitted thereon.
  • the cover plate comprises a front plate 2 and a lateral portion 3.
  • the lateral portion 3 of the cover plate comprises an inward-projecting wing 9 at the edge 10A of lateral portion opposite to the edge 10B between the front plate 2 and the lateral portion 3.
  • a lateral groove 11 is left between the inner wing 9 and the front plate 2.
  • the underplate 7 comprises at least one projection 12 transverse to the diameter of the underplate, being open at one end 12A and connected to the rest of the underplate at its other end 12B.
  • the example shown in Figure 3 includes two the transverse projections but they can also be three or more in number, for instance.
  • Figure 3 also shows the cover plate arrangement in a partial cross-sectional view the boundary of which is designated by a dashed line C.
  • the inner face 13 of the lateral portion 3 of the front plate that is, the face directed towards the middle area of the cover plate and the opening 4 possibly provided for a spindle, comprises a first recess 14, a second recess 15 and a ridge 16 between the first recess and the second recess.
  • the lateral groove 11, the first recess and the second recess can be of equal depth.
  • the first recess 14 and the second recess 15 are at least somewhat deeper than the lateral groove 11.
  • the first recess and the second recess are recesses on each side thereof and adjacent thereto.
  • Figure 3 is a view from the rear, that is, from the door, in an installation situation, giving the impression that the underplate is on top of the cover plate.
  • the underplate is installed, during installation, against the door by means of fixing screws extending to the underplate provided on the opposite side of the door. Sockets for the fixing screws are provided in connection with either of the underplates on opposite sides of door (see Figure 13 ).
  • the fixing screws and the sockets are known per se. It is also possible that the fixing stubs with internally threaded holes are integrated with the underplate.
  • the cover plate 1 fitted on the underplate 7 can be turned.
  • Figure 5 shows the cover plate arrangement in a situation where the cover plate is turned with respect to the underplate.
  • Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of the example of Figure 5 .
  • the transverse projection 12 is arranged to yield elastically, with the open end 12A of the projection moving over the ridge 16, and, once the open end 12A of the projection has moved over the ridge, the second recess 15 is arranged to be positioned at the first end 12A, that is, the open end of the transverse projection of the underplate.
  • the moving of the first end 12A of the projection over the ridge 16 is due to a mutual change of position of the underplate 7 and the cover plate 1, caused by turning the cover plate in an installation situation.
  • the same move can also be caused by turning the underplate with respect to the cover plate where the underplate is not installed on the door, for example.
  • the moving of the first end 12A of the transverse projection is not tied to which one of the plates is turned but can be caused by turning either the underplate or the cover plate.
  • Turning the underplate is especially relevant where it is desired to demonstrate the operation in a non-installation situation, while turning the cover plate is relevant in an installation situation.
  • an edge 17 of the underplate is arranged to move, at least partially, into the lateral groove 11.
  • the lateral portion 3 of the cover plate can be provided with several holes 6 for retaining screws.
  • the lateral groove 11 and the wing 9 of the cover plate can be provided at the positions to which the edge 17 of the underplate moves as the cover plate is locked against the underplate.
  • the lateral groove 11 can also be provided at the second recess 15, thereby also positioning the first end of the transverse projection 12 under the wing, as illustrated in the Figures. Consequently, the projection or projections 12 hold, for their part, the cover plate against the underplate, similarly to the edge of the underplate received into the lateral groove.
  • the lateral groove can also be formed into an endless loop. However, for installation, it is convenient to have no wing 9 at the first recess 14. As appears from the Figures, the first end 12A of the transverse projection, in addition, may have an extension away from the middle area of the underplate.
  • the lever handle/handles and the spindle can be installed, independently of the cover plate arrangement, by using the spindle and lever handle openings 4, 4A provided in the cover plate and the underplate. If it is desired to later remove the cover plate 1 from the underplate 7, firstly, if there is a lever handle present, it is removed, and, then, the cover plate is turned in the second direction opposite to the above-mentioned first direction. Now, the transverse projection 12 yields elastically, allowing the first end 12A of the projection to move over the ridge 16, into the first recess 14. After this, the cover plate can be removed from top of the underplate.
  • Figure 7 and Figure 8 show another example of the cover plate, and of the underplate, of the cover plate arrangement according to the invention, respectively. Even this embodiment is substantially rectangular in shape.
  • Figure 9 shows the cover plate arrangement of this embodiment, with the underplate and the cover plate fitted on each other.
  • Figure 10 shows the cover plate arrangement of Figure 9 , with the cover plate and the underplate locked to each other.
  • Figure 11 is a cross-sectional view of the example of Figure 9
  • Figure 12 is a cross-sectional view of the example of Figure 10 .
  • the cover plate and the underplate shown in Figures 7 to 12 comprise the same features as the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 6 .
  • the cover plate has no wing 9 at least at the first recess 14. If the embodiment includes several first wings (two in number in the embodiments described above) and a transverse projection, there may be no wing at any of the first recesses.
  • the underplate 7 comprises an elevated portion 20.
  • the elevated portion gives the underplate 7 a depth, eliminating any clearance in the height direction H of the lateral portion of the cover plate, as shown in Figure 4 . Consequently, the cover plate arrangement is more steadily fitted against the door face.
  • the elevated portion and the rest of the underplate can also be separate components intended to be fitted on top of each other, as shown in Figure 13 , for example. This is preferable in terms of manufacture.
  • the separate components can be bound together by glue, for instance, to form an integrated component.
  • the cover plate arrangement can be made any appropriate material, such as metal.
  • the cover plate is usually made of metal.
  • the underplate can be made of metal, or, of any appropriate plastic or composite material. If the underplate consists of two separate plates, or, of a combination of two plates, one plate can be made of metal, for example, while the other plate is made of a plastic or composite material.
  • the underplate comprises through-holes for fixing screws.
  • the underplate may also comprise a center opening 4A for a lever handle and a spindle.
  • the underplate may comprise at least one alignment opening 21, as shown in Figures 8 to 10 .
  • the alignment openings are intended for alignment pins 22, provided, for example, on the rear face of the front plate 1 of the cover plate, that is, on the face that is intended to rest against the underplate.
  • the cover plate and the underplate can be rectangular or circular in basic shape.
  • Figure 13 is a view of still another example of the cover plate arrangement according to the invention, also showing the lever handles 23 to be installed on each side of the door.
  • the Figure also shows the fixing screws 24 and the sockets 25 for tightening the underplates 26, intended for each side of the door, against the door.
  • the lock case not shown in the Figures, is positioned between the plates, inside the door.
  • the underplate consists of two plates 26A, 26B, of which one 26B forms the above-mentioned elevated portion while the other 26B comprises the transverse projections 12.
  • the plates can also be bound together in order to create an integrated underplate.
  • This underplate similarly to the underplates of the previous examples, can be formed, right at the beginning, as an integrated component. Because this embodiment comprises the same features as the embodiments above, this embodiment mostly uses the same reference numerals as the preceding embodiments. Likewise, in this embodiment, the cover plate is fitted on the underplate 26 and turned in order to lock it to the underplate.
  • Figure 14 is a closer view of the cover plate 1 and the underplate 26 of the cover plate arrangement shown in Figure 13 .
  • Figure 15 is a lateral view of the cover plate 1 shown in Figure 14 .
  • Even this embodiment may comprise at least one lateral threaded fixing-screw hole 6 in the cover plate.
  • the circular underplate 26 of Figures 13 to 14 comprises at least one engaging tab 27 at its edge 17 and the cover plate has no wing at a given position or positions in order to allow the cover plate to be fitted on the underplate.
  • the elevated portion 26B of the cover plate may have a lateral projection 26C providing an extra support surface in an installation situation, with the edge 26D of the elevated portion positioned against the wing 9.
  • a similar lateral projection or projections 27A can be provided on the plate 26A comprising the transverse projections, in order to give additional support when installed.
  • Figure 16 shows the cover plate and the underplate of Figure 14 as fitted on each other, with the cover plate not turned to a locking position.
  • Figure 17 shows the cover plate and the underplate of Figure 16 as locked to each other.
  • Figure 18 is a cross-sectional view of the example shown in Figure 16 while Figure 19 is a cross-sectional view of the example shown in Figure 17 .
  • the first end 12A of the transverse projection is received into the first recess 14 as the cover plate is fitted on the underplate.
  • An engaging tab, or tabs, 27 are received into a tab receiving cavity 28 provided at the edge of the cover plate.
  • FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view of the situation shown in Figure 16.
  • Figure 19 is a cross-sectional view of the situation shown in Figure 17 , with the engaging tab 27 received into the lateral groove 11 between the wing 9 and the front portion 2.
  • the Figures also show that a collar member 100 can be provided on the periphery of the center opening 4 of the cover plate.
  • the invention allows for fast installation. Retrofitting is quick as well. It is possible that no tool is needed.
  • the lever handle is now less tied to the cover plate arrangement and can be chosen more freely than before.
  • the edge of the cover plate secured into the lateral groove results in a firm fitting which can be improved if the first end 12A of the transverse projection 12 also is positioned under the wing covering the lateral groove.
  • the resulting interlocking of the cover plate and the underplate prevents the pulling of the cover plate, in a direction transverse to the lateral face 2 of the cover plate (such as in the direction of the spindle of the lever handle), away from top of the underplate, and, in addition, prevents the free turning of the cover plate in order to prevent the cover plate from turning freely in a normal situation.
  • a normal situation refers to an installation situation not subjecting the cover plate to any major forces tending to turn the cover plate.
