FI115242B - Arrangement for holding a door, window or similar button in the selected operating position - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to an arrangement for holding a lever handle (1) of a door, a window or the like in a chosen operational position. The arrangement includes a control piece (4) installed between an escutcheon (2) of the lever handle and a door, a window or the like and having flexible control members (4a ... 4g), which are arranged to cooperate with a spindle (3) of the lever handle so, that they on the one hand are pressed against the spindle (3) of the lever handle and hold the lever handle (1) in a chosen operational position and on the other hand allow the lever handle (1) to turn from one operational position to another.

The invention relates to a push-button arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1.

10

The button is intended to remain in its operating position, be it horizontal or vertical, whether the door, window, or the like associated with the button is closed or open. Owing to the shape and mass of the button, it is naturally more difficult to hold the button horizontally. The problem can be solved by making the button shield and button fit so tight that the friction holds the button horizontally. The solution places high demands on machining accuracy. Further disadvantages are the possible rigidity of the button operation, the problem of wear and the high manufacturing costs. Projections and / or recesses may also be provided on the button and / or button shield to which elastic members may be added to maintain the button in a horizontal position. Such solutions are difficult and expensive to produce.

It is an object of the invention to provide a new solution for holding the button; as required, in its various operating positions, especially horizontal or vertical: 25 by harnessing the button spindle. The intention is that the solution is simple, reliable, and inexpensive and may be needed; easy to apply even after retrofitting.

I «*. . The object of the invention is achieved as set forth in claim 1 and other claims. The arrangement according to the invention comprises a control piece mounted between a button shield and a door, window or the like, with flexible control means arranged to cooperate with the button spindle: on the one hand, allow button to rotate-

. 35 from one operating position to another. The invention thus enables the normal push-button spindle to be exploited as such. Since a separate control cabinet 2 115242 is used, it can also be retrofitted and removed if required, if a feature is not required.

Advantageously, the control member is controlled by the inner surfaces of the button shield, which keeps the control member stationary. For this purpose, the control piece is merely shaped according to the inner surfaces of the respective button plate. Alternatively or additionally, the control member may be held stationary by utilizing fastening screws securing the button shield to a door, window or the like.

The guide means are preferably arranged to press the spindle of the button at its corners. In this way, the spindle of the button is pressed against each side. Thus, the guide body preferably has a different guide member for each side of the mandrel angle. In this case, the guiding means for the different sides of the mandrel angle can be shaped and si-15 spaced with a gap between them for receiving and guiding the mandrel angle. The controls are thus easy to shape and dimension so that they provide sufficient compression to hold the button in a horizontal position, but on the other hand are flexible enough so that the button can be easily rotated from one position to another.

If the entire guide member is made of a flexible material, such as plastic, it is easy to manufacture.

The invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which: - Figure 1 illustrates a side view of a button arrangement according to the invention. *: *. Figure 2 is a bottom view of the arrangement of Figure 1, viewed from the direction of the button spindle.

[In the drawing, 1 means a button on a door, window, or the like with a button spindle 3 attached to it and mounted on the button plate 2 using, for example, a lock ring as shown in Figure 1. The button plate has holes 2b for fastening screws, which allow the entire button arrangement to be secured. 35 can be mounted on a door, window or similar (not shown).

On the inside of the button shield 2 there is mounted a separate guide piece 4 made of flexible material, which is controlled by the shield inner surfaces 2a and which is caught between the shield 2 and the door, window or the like. Alternatively or additionally, the guide piece may be held stationary by utilizing mounting screws mounted in the holes 2b. This, of course, has to be taken into account in the design of the guide piece 4.

The guide member comprises guide members 4a to 4g arranged in pairs 10 such that slots 5a to 5d remain therebetween. The guide members 4a ... 4g and the slots 5a ... 5d are dimensioned to receive and guide the corners of the mandrel 3 so that the mandrel remains firmly in each of its operating positions as the guide members 4a ... 4g squeeze each edge of the mandrel 3. When the button 1 is rotated from one position to another, the control elements 4a ... 4g are flexible, thereby allowing the rotation movement.

15

The respective shape of the guide piece 4 is selected to correspond to the shape of the inner surfaces 2a of the button shield 2 so that the guide piece 4 stays firmly in place despite the turning movements of the button 1. The arrangement according to the invention thus enables retrofitting, and accordingly the control piece 4 can also be removed or replaced as required.

v: The invention is not limited to the embodiment shown, but a number of variations: are conceivable within the scope of the appended claims.
