Definitions

  • the present invention belongs to the field of opening equipment, for example joinery openings.
  • the invention relates to a kit of element for gripping an opening and a gripping element formed by said kit.
  • joint designates here a door, a window, a French window, etc., intended for the equipment of a building.
  • the gripping element can designate a handle, a farrier's stick or any other member allowing the operation of an opening.
  • the gripping elements of an opening of joinery, furniture or any other object are generally made in one piece, that is to say they are manufactured so as to form a single piece. .
  • the evolution of the design of a gripping element is particularly necessary during the renewal of a range of products, for example to match the aesthetic appearance of the gripping element with that of the opening.
  • a product range can be developed specifically to be associated with a range of carpentry sash frames.
  • the fixing of this covering element on the gripping element is for example carried out by gluing or by elastic interlocking.
  • the gripping element must therefore necessarily have a simple geometric shape.
  • None of the current systems can meet the need to provide a modular gripping element, that is to say whose aesthetic appearance can be modified, with a long life.
  • the present invention aims to remedy all or part of the drawbacks of the prior art, in particular those set out above, by proposing a kit making it possible to form a gripping element of an opening in an evolutionary manner in the sense that gripping elements having a different aesthetic appearance (in their shapes, dimensions, materials, etc.) can be formed from said kits.

  • the gripping element kit further comprises a fixing member adapted to bind together the junction member and the gripping member when they cooperate with each other so as to prevent any relative mobility in translation of said connecting and gripping organs.
  • Such arrangements advantageously make it possible to modify the junction member and/or the gripping member, in order to change the aesthetic appearance of the gripping element.
  • the present invention advantageously makes it possible to retain the aesthetic appearance of the junction member while changing that of the gripping member and vice versa, for example by modifying the material constituting said members.

  • the joining and gripping members comprise cavities emerging through the male-female cooperation profiles and being intended to be aligned to receive the fixing member.
  • This characteristic advantageously allows the fixing member, by introducing itself through the cavities, to align the joining and gripping members with each other so that they are systematically positioned in an adequate manner. for their assembly.
  • the gripping member can be formed reliably.
  • the fixing member is formed by a bolt comprising a screw and a nut provided with a base, and in which the gripping member and the joining member comprise a through cavity through which said screw is adapted to be engaged in order to be fixed to the nut, the base being adapted to bear against the gripping member.
