Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 09-303002 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-131870 JP-A-11-200671

  The door handle device is usually attached to a door at the entrance of a large building such as a common door of a condominium, and the door is locked by locking devices at the upper and lower ends of the door.

  In recent years, this door handle device has come to be used in ordinary houses. In this case, a cylinder lock is provided in the lock box to lock the door, and the handle that overlaps the lock box is used. It becomes necessary to open a locking / unlocking hole for inserting a key for locking / unlocking the cylinder lock.

  However, simply opening the locking / unlocking hole on the handle usually damages the opening edge of the locking / unlocking hole of a soft material such as aluminum, and the internal mechanism viewed from the opening of the locking / unlocking hole by the tip of the key. It becomes easy.

  If a cylindrical cover, for example, is provided between the opening of the locking / unlocking hole and the front end (so-called key guide) of the cylinder lock viewed from the opening, this cylinder is determined depending on the thickness of the door to which the handle device is mounted. The length of the cover must be changed, or the cover must be shrunk. Not only the structure becomes complicated, but the management of parts in the manufacturing and distribution process becomes troublesome. There are inconveniences.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a door handle device in which a locking / unlocking hole is opened in the handle, and a cylinder lock can be locked / unlocked by a combined key inserted through the locking / unlocking hole. It aims at providing the cover of the cylinder lock which can respond also to.

  In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the upper and lower ends of the vertically long handle are brought close to the base fixed to the free side edge of the door surface via the guide mechanism. It supports and guides it so that it can be separated, and forms a storage cave that penetrates the handle and the pedestal and fits into the lock box. The key guide of the cylinder lock stored in this storage cave is connected to the opening of the storage cave in the handle. It is to be attached to the door handle device facing the locking / unlocking hole from the inside, and has a shallow funnel shape in general and a key insertion hole in which the key of the cylinder lock is loosely fitted in the center. It is made of an elastic material and is mounted so as to cover the locking / unlocking hole with the inner surface of the funnel facing outward.

  Since the cover of the cylinder lock according to the first aspect of the present invention configured as described above is made of an elastic material, the cylinder lock and the cylinder lock attached to the unlocking / unlocking hole according to a change in the thickness of the door are used. Even if it interferes with the cover, neither will be damaged.

  For the same reason, a cylinder lock cover having the same size and shape can be mounted on a handle device having a different door thickness without any adjustment process.

  In addition, since the cover of the cylinder lock covers the gap between the locking / unlocking hole of the handle and the tip of the cylinder lock, it is possible to prevent rainwater and dust from entering through this gap and mischief caused by inserting a rod, etc. There are various effects.

  Because the cover of the cylinder lock to be installed in the locking / unlocking hole of the door handle device has a shallow funnel shape in general, a key insertion hole in which the lock key of the cylinder lock is loosely fitted in the center and made of an elastic material, The members are hardly damaged, and can cope with different door thicknesses, and management in the manufacturing process or the distribution process becomes easy.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an indoor pedestal on the indoor side of the door handle device, and reference numeral 2 denotes an outdoor pedestal on the outdoor side. Attach to the free side edge of the door.

  Usually, a pair of the pedestals 1 and 2 is provided in the vertical direction (the paper surface direction in FIG. 1). Since the mounting manner is described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, further detailed description is omitted here.

  An inner handle 3 that is vertically long and extends in the vertical direction is mounted on the inner pedestal 1, and an outer handle 4 that is vertically long and extends in the vertical direction is mounted on the outer pedestal 2 so that the relative position with respect to the door can be changed. Yes.

  Specifically, in the normal state shown in FIG. 1, that is, when the door is closed and the latch mechanism of the lock box (not shown) is in the locked state, the inner handle 3 and the inner base 1 are separated from each other. By operating the inner handle 3 in the direction approaching the inner pedestal 1, in other words, by pushing the door open with the handle 3, the inner operation piece 5 moves in the paper surface direction, and the latch mechanism in the lock box Release the locked state.

  In this way, the latch mechanism is automatically released by holding the inner handle 3 to open the door, so that the pushing of the inner handle 3 is used both for releasing the latch mechanism and opening the door. .

  Similarly, by pulling the outer handle 4 away from the outer pedestal 2, the outer operation piece 6 moves in the direction of the paper surface to release the latch mechanism. The door is opened and it is easy to use.

  Since the functions and configurations of the door handle device described above are described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, further detailed description is omitted.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, an inner storage cave 7 that penetrates the inner handle 3 and the inner pedestal 1 and fits to a lock box (not shown) is formed on the indoor side.

  In this inner storage cave 7. An inner cylinder lock (not shown) is accommodated via the inner cylinder cylinder 8.

  The inner cylinder cylinder 8 is attached to a lock box (not shown) via locking rods 9 and 9, and the manner of attachment is described in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-72171 and is well known. Further detailed description is omitted.

  Normally, a thumb turn is attached to a portion where the inner cylinder tube 8 is attached, and the thumb turn shaft of the thumb turn is connected to a locking member 11 called a dharma in the lock box.

  Then, the Dharma 11 is rotated by turning the thumb turn (not shown) from the indoor side in the locking direction or the unlocking direction, and for example, a dead bolt (not shown) is moved in and out of the front plate of the lock box to perform locking and unlocking.

  However, in the illustrated embodiment, a cylinder lock is also provided on the indoor side, and a connecting member called a tail piece of the inner cylinder is linked to the dharma 11.

  In this case, if the key 12 is inserted into the cylinder lock on the indoor side, the key 11 is rotated by turning the knob of the key to rotate the dharma 11 via the tail piece, while the key 12 is removed. When going out, for example, it is possible to completely prevent unauthorized unlocking by breaking the glass part attached to the door, putting the hand inside the room, and turning the thumb turn.

  As described above, in the illustrated embodiment, the cylinder lock is mounted on the indoor side for some other purpose. However, the cylinder lock on the indoor side is not an essential component of the present invention.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, an outer storage cavity 13 that penetrates the outer handle 4 and the outer pedestal 2 and fits to a lock box (not shown) is also formed on the outdoor side.

  In this outer storage cave 13. An outer cylinder lock (not shown) is accommodated via the outer cylinder cylinder 14.

  The tail piece of the inner cylinder of the outer cylinder lock (not shown) is connected to the dharma 11 in the lock box as in the inner cylinder lock.

  And it is the same as in the other locks that the locking mechanism in the lock box can be controlled by turning the unillustrated key inserted into the outer cylinder lock.

  In the door handle device configured as described above, the cylinder lock cover 16 described below is mounted in the inner and outer storage cavities 7 and 13 and the locking and unlocking holes 15 and 15 which are openings of the storage cavities in the handle. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the cylinder lock cover 16 has a hollow frustum having an upper surface and a bottom surface, in other words, a shallow funnel shape. For example, rubber, synthetic rubber, synthetic resin, etc. It is made of an elastic material.

  And the trace which pulled the upper surface of the center, ie, a hollow truncated cone, becomes the key insertion hole 20 in which the key which is not illustrated loosely fits.

  Further, the cover 16 of the cylinder lock in the illustrated embodiment is set so that the outer diameter of the outer peripheral surface 17 of the large-diameter opening can be fitted into the locking / unlocking hole 16 as shown in FIG. Yes.

  Further, in the vicinity of the outer peripheral surface 17, a first protrusion 18 projecting radially outward and a second projecting projecting in the direction from the large diameter of the truncated cone toward the small diameter portion in the central axis direction of the truncated cone. The protrusion 19 is integrally formed, and an annular recess 21 is formed between the second protrusion 19 and the shallow funnel-shaped cover main body.

  Correspondingly, as shown in FIG. 2, a cylindrical portion 22 having a chamfered inner peripheral surface of the outer end opening edge is provided in the handles 3, 4. The outer peripheral surface is fitted to the locking / unlocking hole 15 and attached to the handles 3 and 4 in a state where the annular recess 21 and the outer end opening of the cylindrical portion 22 are engaged.

  In other words, the cover 16 of each cylinder lock is attached to the handle with the large-diameter portion sandwiched between the opening edge of the locking / unlocking hole 15 and the opening of the cylindrical portion 26.

  The cover of the handle lock according to one embodiment of the present invention constructed as described above covers the gap between the lock / unlock hole 15 of the handle and the tip of the cylinder lock, as is apparent from FIG. As described above, it is possible to prevent rainwater, dust intrusion, and mischief caused by inserting a rod or the like.

  Further, in FIG. 2, reference numeral 22 denotes a center plane in the thickness direction of the door, the right side (outside) of the center plane 22 indicates a case where the door is thick, and the left side indicates a case where the door is thin. The case where the door is thick and the case where the door is thin is shown in one figure.

  2 shows a case where the cover 16 of the cylinder lock interferes with the cylinder lock or the cylinder cylinder 8. In this case, the cover 16 is elastically deformed in a direction in which the key insertion hole moves outward. Therefore, since the cover 16 is softer than the metal, neither the cover 16 nor the cylinder lock is damaged.

  Further, when the inner handle 3 is pushed outward, the cover 16 of the cylinder lock is further elastically deformed, and thus it is possible to cope with a change in the door thickness.

  On the other hand, on the right side of the center plane in FIG. 2, there is already a gap between the cover 16 of the cylinder lock and the cylinder lock. However, as the door becomes thinner, the change in the door thickness can be accommodated in a direction in which the gap becomes smaller.
