Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-1236

  The structure of Patent Document 1 is excellent in that the handle main body is selectively used on both sides of the plate-shaped body (joint), but the handle main body is located in the opening of the plate-shaped body (mounting frame) as a non-use mode. The handle body cannot be pulled out to the front side by rotating operation with one end as a fulcrum when used, so the handle body has a shape that protrudes outside the plate-like body (mounting frame) opening. It must be worsened when not in use. In addition, the handle main body is thicker or heavier than the other end that protrudes forward and backward compared to the one end that serves as a rotation fulcrum. It was difficult to give or hold at a neutral position in the mounting frame with an appropriate restriction force.

  Therefore, the present invention has been devised to solve the above problems. Its main purpose is to improve the appearance characteristics and usability by allowing it to be placed almost flush with the plate when not in use and by allowing the corresponding part to protrude forward from the plate by pressing when in use. There is to do.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a handle device that is disposed on a plate-like body and can be operated from both sides of the plate-like body. It has a handle body that can be rotated in a seesaw manner with the fulcrum as a fulcrum, and when not in use, the handle body is substantially flush with the plate-like body, and when used, the handle body is pushed to one end side. The other end side is switched to a state protruding forward by rotation with the intermediate portion as a fulcrum.

As shown in FIG. 6, the holding portion 12 is configured by arcuate cylindrical pieces 12 a and 12 b that are positioned substantially in the middle of the handle body 1 and face each other vertically. Two regulating grooves 14a and 14b extending in the longitudinal direction along both edges are provided on the inner periphery of the lower cylindrical piece 12b. Each regulation groove 14a, 14b is an engagement location for screwing in one end 5a or the other end 5b of a coil spring 5 described later. A through hole 15 is provided at the center of the inner end surface 13 of the holding portion 12, and one cam portion 26 constituting the cam mechanism 3 is integrally formed on the peripheral end surface of the through hole 15. One end 4a of the shaft member 4 is inserted into the through hole 15 in a skewed state from the holding portion 12 side. In terms of design, it is possible to reduce the weight by changing the shape of the end pieces 10a, 10b, the intermediate piece 11 or the like, or by forming the recesses 17 added to FIG. Sometimes it is planned.

  The base 2 includes a case 20 that rotatably supports the handle body 1 via the shaft member 4, and a cover 25 that is detachably attached to the case 20, and is substantially in a state where the cover 25 is attached to the case 20. It becomes a disk shape. That is, the case 20 and the cover 25 are resin molded bodies, and have openings 20a and 25a that are set to a thickness corresponding to the handle body 1 and are formed in a substantially U shape or E shape. In addition, the case 20 is provided with support portions 21 and 22 that are opposed to each other across the opening space at an intermediate position of the opening 20a, and a plurality of locking piece portions 23. Of the two support portions, the support portion 21 protrudes from the substantially central portion of the case, and is located on the opening 20a side and has a large-diameter hole 21a that holds the rear portion of the cam member 30 in a slidable and non-rotatable manner. A small-diameter hole 21b (see FIG. 3) that is located on the back side of the large-diameter hole 21a and engages with the other end 4b of the shaft member 4 is formed. The support portion 22 is provided on the same axis as the small-diameter hole 21 b and forms an engagement hole 22 a that engages with the one end 4 a of the shaft member 4. The locking piece 23 is provided with a rectangular locking hole 23a for locking an elastic claw 28 (see FIG. 2B) provided on the cover 25 side. On the other hand, the cover 25 has, in addition to the elastic claw 28, for example, a portion 27 that is provided at an intermediate portion of the opening 25a and engages with a protruding portion that forms the small-diameter hole 21b of the support portion 21. Then, it is attached to and detached from the case 20 through the engagement between the elastic claw 28 and the locking hole 23a. Note that the case 20 and the cover 25 may be integrated by a connecting tool such as a screw, for example, in addition to being integrated by an engagement structure as in the embodiment.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the cam mechanism 3 includes a cam member 30 that is supported around the shaft of the shaft member 4 together with the cam portion 26 described above. The cam member 30 includes a front cylinder part 30a having a small diameter and a rear cylinder part 30b having a large diameter. The front cylinder portion 30 a forms a central shaft hole 31 through which the shaft member 4 is inserted, and a cam portion 32 that is located on the tip surface and fits with the cam portion 26. The cam portion 26 and the cam portion 32 of the cam member 31 have, for example, two peaks and valleys that mesh with each other, and the peaks and valleys are rotatably fitted. The rear cylinder part 30b forms a cutout part 33 in which a part of the periphery is cut out in a substantially L shape, and an extension part 34 in which a part of the rear end side is elongated. When the notch 33 is disposed in the rear cylinder 30b with the coil spring 5 supported by the shaft member 4 as shown in FIG. 7, one end 5a of the notch 33 from the corresponding part of the notch 33 is removed from the front cylinder 30a. It can be arranged along the outer periphery. A pair of protrusions 35 are provided on the outer periphery of the extension 34. The extension portion 34 is non-rotatable through the projection 35 and the like and is slidable in the axial direction when fitted in the large-diameter hole 21a of the support portion 21. The coil spring 5 has one end 5a bent further forward from the front end and the other end 5b bent forward from the rear end along the coil portion.

(Assembly) Each of the above members is assembled in the following procedure example or attached to the plate-like body 6. First, as an assembling operation, first, the shaft member 4, the cam member 30, and the coil spring 5 are assembled into the handle body 1. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, one end 4 a of the shaft member 4 is inserted into the through hole 15 from the holding portion 12 and protrudes to the outer surface of the intermediate piece portion 11. Then, the handle body 1 is pivotally supported with respect to the shaft member 4. Next, the cam member 30 is pivotally supported with respect to the shaft member 4 in a state where the other end 4 b is inserted into the central shaft hole 31. As shown in FIG. 7, the coil spring 5 is inserted into the cylinder of the rear cylinder part 30b by inserting the shaft member 4 into the coil part before or after the cam member 30 is pivotally supported by the shaft member 4, and 5a is arrange | positioned ahead along the cylinder outer surface of the front cylinder part 30a from the notch part 33. FIG. Then, the other end 5b of the coil spring 5 is projected forward from the inner surface of the extension portion 34 along the outer surface of the rear cylinder portion 30b. From the above state, the handle main body 1 engages the case 20 with one end 4 a of the shaft member 4 in the engagement hole 22 a of the support portion 22 and the other end 4 b of the shaft member 4 with the large diameter hole 21 a of the support portion 21. And engages with the small diameter hole 21b (see FIG. 3). In this case, the shaft member 4 has one end 4a protruding longer from the engagement hole 22a, and the other end 4b is disposed at a normal position when engaging the small diameter hole 21b. Is attached to the case 20, the movement in the axial direction is restricted.

  In this structure, when the handle body 1 is assembled on the case 20 side, the coil spring 5 is compressed in the axial direction, as can be inferred from FIG. 7, and the cam member 30 is moved to the intermediate piece 11 side by the compression force. As a result, the cam portion 32 of the cam member 30 and the cam portion 26 of the intermediate piece portion 11 are fitted in the initial state, and are held horizontally by the cam operation or fitting force between the cam portions (that is, the handle body). 1 is held in a non-use state that is substantially flush with the base 2 and the plate-like body 6. In this structure, the case 20 assembled with the handle main body 1 and the like and the cover 25 are brought close to each other so as to face the upper and lower sides of the opening on the plate-like body 6 side, thereby engaging the elastic claw 28 and the locking hole 23a. At the same time, the opening edge on the plate-like body side is sandwiched between the corresponding portions of the case 20 and the cover 25 and attached by a one-touch operation as shown in FIG. In the attached state, the handle main body 1 is arranged substantially flush with the base 2 and the plate-like body 6, so that the appearance of the appearance when not in use can be improved. Further, in this structure, since the handle main body 1 and the base 2 are unitized, the assemblability and handleability are excellent, and the base 2 is composed of the case 20 and the cover 25, so that the mounting property to the plate-like body 6 is also simple. Easy to convert.

(Operation) The handle device described above can selectively use the handle body 1 from both sides of the plate-like body 6, that is, from the upper and lower sides or from the left and right, while being attached to the plate-like body 6. In other words, in this structure, as schematically illustrated in FIG. 4, the handle body 1 is rotated in a seesaw manner with the shaft member 4 pivotally supported at the intermediate portion as a fulcrum. More specifically, when the other end piece 10b is pushed in the X direction and moved downward as indicated by a one-dot chain line, the one end piece 10a is moved upward as shown in FIG. Similarly, when one end piece 10a is pushed in the Y direction and moved downward as indicated by a broken line, the other end piece 10b is moved upward. Therefore, the handle body 1 has the end piece 10a or 10b as the base 2 or the plate-like body 6 when operated on the upper side of the plate-like body 6 or when operated on the lower side of the plate-like body 6. If the other end piece 10b or 10a is pushed out from the corresponding surface and switched to a use state as a handle, it is rich in novelty.

 In this structure, for example, in FIG. 4 and FIG. 7, from the non-use state where the handle body 1 is flush with the base 2 and the plate-like body 6, the other end piece 10 a is pushed downward to form a shaft member. 4 is rotated counterclockwise (X direction) as a fulcrum, the cam member 30 is within the range of angle a in FIG. 4 (the range of the first rotation angle, which is set to about +40 to −40 degrees). The cam portion 26 on the handle body side is rotated against the pressing force between the cam portions while displacing the fitting state with respect to the cam portion 32 (the shape of the peaks and valleys). Note that the handle main body 1 is automatically returned to the original non-use state by the cam operation when the operator releases the hand from the handle main body 1 in the middle of rotation (within the range of angle a). In addition, in this structure, as described above, in the process in which the handle body 1 is further rotated counterclockwise around the shaft member 4 as a fulcrum, the range of the b angle (the second rotation angle range in FIG. 6 and 7), the other end 5 b is engaged with the inner surface of the extension portion 35, and the one end 5 a is caught in the regulating groove 14 b. 14b is screwed in the counterclockwise direction (the end 5a is screwed along the notch 33 of the cam member 30). As a result, the handle body 1 is rotated against the twisting force of the coil spring 5 together with the cam operation between the cams in the range of the b angle. When the operator releases his hand from the handle body 1 during rotation, the handle body 1 is returned to the range of the a angle by the torsional force and cam operation stored in the coil spring 5, and thereafter, as described above, Automatically returned to use. Further, in this structure, when the handle body 1 is rotated clockwise (Y direction), the other end 5b is caught in the restriction groove 14a while the one end 5a is engaged with the corner of the notch 33, and the restriction It will be screwed in while storing the twisting force clockwise together with the groove 14a. For this reason, when the handle body 1 is released from the use state, the handle body 1 is rotated to the a angle by the urging force of the coil spring 5 and then switched to the non-use state that is substantially flush with the plate-like body 6 by the cam mechanism. Therefore, usability, product value and novelty can be further improved.

  In addition, the handle apparatus of this invention should just be equipped with the technical element specified by Claim 1, and a detail can be variously changed as needed, without being restrict | limited to the above example of a form. Applications include, for example, a plate-like body that is detachably covered in a storage section recessed in the floor of an automobile trunk room, a plate-like body that detachably separates a car compartment from a luggage room, and a housing such as a switchboard. It can be widely used as a handle device for a body door plate.
