Description

この発明は、冷蔵庫のドアハンドルに係り、特に、ハンドルボディーと透明なハンドルカバーとの間に意匠シートを挟んだ冷蔵庫のドアハンドルに関する。   The present invention relates to a refrigerator door handle, and more particularly, to a refrigerator door handle in which a design sheet is sandwiched between a handle body and a transparent handle cover.

従来の冷蔵庫のドアハンドルの構造は、透明なハンドルカバーの裏面に、意匠を印刷された平板状で薄膜の意匠シートが圧着、または適当な隙間を設けて結合され、上記ハンドルカバーがハンドルボディーに結合されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   The structure of a conventional refrigerator door handle is such that a flat, thin design sheet printed with a design is bonded to the back surface of a transparent handle cover by pressure bonding or an appropriate gap, and the handle cover is attached to the handle body. (For example, refer patent document 1).

実開昭62−171789号公報(第4−6頁、第1−2図)Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-171789 (page 4-6, Fig. 1-2)

従来の冷蔵庫のドアハンドルは、意匠性を備えた薄膜の意匠シートを透明なハンドルカバーの裏面に圧着、または適当な隙間を設けて結合し、ハンドルカバーをハンドルボディーに結合することで形成されている。通常、冷蔵庫のドアハンドルは手を掛けて使用することから長手の部品として成形されるため、これに合せて意匠シートは帯状に成形されるためにそれ自身に強度が無く、ハンドルカバーをハンドルボディーに結合する際に、帯状の意匠シートが変形、及び移動しやすく、意匠面の位置ずれや薄膜にしわが寄る等の問題があった。
また、一つのドアハンドルの構成において意匠シートの厚みが限定されるため意匠シートの素材選定に制約がある欠点があり、また、ユーザーが自由に意匠を変更できない問題があった。
The door handle of a conventional refrigerator is formed by pressing a thin design sheet with design properties on the back surface of a transparent handle cover, or by connecting with an appropriate gap, and connecting the handle cover to the handle body. Yes. Normally, the door handle of a refrigerator is molded as a longitudinal part because it is used with hands, so the design sheet is molded into a strip shape in accordance with this, so there is no strength in itself, and the handle cover is attached to the handle body. When they are bonded to each other, the belt-shaped design sheet is easily deformed and moved, and there are problems such as misalignment of the design surface and wrinkles on the thin film.
Further, since the thickness of the design sheet is limited in the configuration of one door handle, there is a drawback that the selection of the material of the design sheet is limited, and there is a problem that the user cannot freely change the design.

この発明は、上記のよう課題を解決するためになされたもので、第1の目的は帯状に成形された意匠シートが変形、移動することなく意匠性を保ったまま作業ができ、生産作業性に優れ、意匠性の良い冷蔵庫のドアハンドルを得るものである。   The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and a first object is to perform work while maintaining designability without deforming and moving the design sheet formed into a strip shape, thereby improving workability. The door handle of the refrigerator excellent in design and design is obtained.

また、第2の目的は意匠シートの素材を制約することなくユーザー自身によって好みの意匠シートに交換できる冷蔵庫のドアハンドルを得るものである。   The second object is to obtain a refrigerator door handle that can be replaced with a desired design sheet by the user without restricting the material of the design sheet.

この発明に係る冷蔵庫のドアハンドルは、冷蔵庫の扉に取り付けられたハンドルボディーと透明なハンドルカバーとの間に、意匠性を有する意匠シートを挟んだ冷蔵庫のドアハンドルにおいて、前記ハンドルカバーの背面に前記意匠シートがはめ込まれる溝を備えたものである。   The refrigerator door handle according to the present invention is a refrigerator door handle in which a design sheet having design properties is sandwiched between a handle body attached to the refrigerator door and a transparent handle cover, and on the rear surface of the handle cover. The design sheet is provided with a groove into which the design sheet is fitted.

この発明は、ハンドルカバーの背面に意匠シートがはめ込まれる溝を備えたので、意匠シートが変形、移動することなく意匠性を保ったまま組立作業ができ、生産作業性に優れ、意匠性の良いドアハンドルを得ることができる。   Since the present invention is provided with a groove into which the design sheet is fitted on the back surface of the handle cover, the design sheet can be assembled while maintaining the design without being deformed or moved, and the production workability is excellent and the design is good. You can get a door handle.

図において、冷蔵庫のドアパネル2にハンドルボディー3は取り付けられ、ハンドルボディー3の前面にハンドルカバー4が取り付けられる。ハンドルカバー4は、透明な樹脂成形品であり、内側に帯状の薄い意匠シート5(例えば0.1〜0.5mmの厚さ)がはめ込まれる溝4bが設けられ、両側面の端部にツメ4cが設けられている。また、ハンドルボディー3のハンドルカバー4が取り付けられる面にスボンジ状のクッション6(例えば、2mm位の厚さで、組み付け後の圧縮状態では1mm位)が糊付け等により固定され、両側面の端部にハンドルカバー4のツメ4cに係合するツメ3aが設けられている。そして、ハンドルカバー4はツメ4cがハンドルボディー3のツメ3aに係止されてハンドルボディー3と結合されてドアハンドル1を形成している。
1 is a front view of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view and a side view of the door handle of the refrigerator in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of the door handle shown in FIG. .
In the figure, a handle body 3 is attached to the door panel 2 of the refrigerator, and a handle cover 4 is attached to the front surface of the handle body 3. The handle cover 4 is a transparent resin molded product, and is provided with a groove 4b into which a strip-shaped thin design sheet 5 (for example, a thickness of 0.1 to 0.5 mm) is fitted, and is provided with tabs at both ends. 4c is provided. Also, a swung cushion 6 (for example, about 2 mm thick and about 1 mm in the compressed state after assembly) is fixed to the surface of the handle body 3 to which the handle cover 4 is attached, by gluing or the like. A claw 3a that engages with the claw 4c of the handle cover 4 is provided. The handle cover 4 has a claw 4 c locked to a claw 3 a of the handle body 3 and is coupled to the handle body 3 to form a door handle 1.

次にこの発明の実施の形態を示す冷蔵庫のドアハンドルの組立及び動作について説明する。
まず、ハンドルボディー3のハンドルボディー3の前面側にクッション6を固着し、これをドアパネル2に取り付ける。一方、透明なハンドルカバー4の溝4bに帯状の薄膜シートとなっている意匠シート5をはめ込む。溝4bは樹脂成形品であるので弾性により意匠シート5が挟みこまれ固定される。このためドアハンドル組立作業において前組しておくことが可能となり、また、意匠シート5が変形、移動することなく意匠性を保ったまま組立作業ができる。次に、意匠シート5を取付けたハンドルカバー4をハンドルボディー3にはめ込むと、ハンドルカバー4はツメ4cがハンドルボディー3のツメ3aに係止されドアハンドル1が形成される。
Next, assembly and operation of the refrigerator door handle showing the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
First, the cushion 6 is fixed to the front surface side of the handle body 3 of the handle body 3 and attached to the door panel 2. On the other hand, the design sheet 5, which is a strip-shaped thin film sheet, is fitted into the groove 4 b of the transparent handle cover 4. Since the groove 4b is a resin molded product, the design sheet 5 is sandwiched and fixed by elasticity. For this reason, it becomes possible to pre-assemble in the door handle assembling work, and the assembling work can be performed while maintaining the design without the design sheet 5 being deformed and moved. Next, when the handle cover 4 to which the design sheet 5 is attached is fitted into the handle body 3, the claw 4c of the handle cover 4 is locked to the claw 3a of the handle body 3, and the door handle 1 is formed.

ドアハンドル1が形成された状態において、意匠シート5はハンドルボディー3に設けられたクッション6の弾力によってハンドルカバー4に密着する。
ハンドルカバー4はツメ4cを起こすことによりユーザーの手でハンドルボディー3から取り外しが可能である。
In the state where the door handle 1 is formed, the design sheet 5 is brought into close contact with the handle cover 4 by the elasticity of the cushion 6 provided on the handle body 3.
The handle cover 4 can be detached from the handle body 3 by the user's hand by raising the claw 4c.

以上のように、ハンドルカバー4の背面に意匠シート5がはめ込まれる溝4bを備えたので、意匠シート5が変形、移動することなく意匠性を保ったまま組立作業ができ、生産作業性に優れ、コストが低減でき、意匠性の良い冷蔵庫のドアハンドルを得ることができる。   As described above, since the back surface of the handle cover 4 is provided with the groove 4b into which the design sheet 5 is fitted, the assembly work can be performed while maintaining the design without the design sheet 5 being deformed and moved, and the production workability is excellent. Cost can be reduced, and a refrigerator door handle with good design can be obtained.

また、ハンドルボディー3の前面にクッション6を備え、意匠シート5はクッション6により押さえ付けられてハンドルカバ4ーの溝に密着するので、意匠シート5はクッション6の弾力によってハンドルカバー4の溝に密着し、意匠シートの厚みや素材を自由に選ぶことが可能となり、意匠シート5の厚みの制約を緩くすることができる。   Further, a cushion 6 is provided on the front surface of the handle body 3, and the design sheet 5 is pressed by the cushion 6 and is in close contact with the groove of the handle cover 4, so that the design sheet 5 is brought into the groove of the handle cover 4 by the elasticity of the cushion 6. The thickness and material of the design sheet can be freely selected, and the restriction on the thickness of the design sheet 5 can be relaxed.

また、ハンドルボディー3とハンドルカバー4にそれぞれ係合するツメ3a、4aを備え、ハンドルカバー4をハンドルボディー3から取り外して、意匠シート5を交換可能にしたので、ユーザー自身の手によって意匠シート5の形状に合せて包装紙等を加工することによりユーザーの好みの意匠シート5を作成して意匠シート5を取り替えることでドアハンドル1の意匠を変更することができ、ユーザー好みの冷蔵庫に仕立てることができる。
また、ハンドルカバー4はハンドルボディー3の前面側に位置するので、ユーザーが外しやすい。
Also, the handle body 3 and the handle cover 4 are respectively provided with claws 3a and 4a, and the handle cover 4 is removed from the handle body 3 so that the design sheet 5 can be exchanged. The design of the door handle 1 can be changed by creating the design sheet 5 of the user's preference by processing the wrapping paper or the like according to the shape of the product, and replacing the design sheet 5, and tailoring the refrigerator to the user's preference Can do.
Further, since the handle cover 4 is located on the front side of the handle body 3, the user can easily remove it.
