As viewed from the user facing the sliding door, the handle is narrower at a location closer to the user. Therefore when the user places the hand on the handle 13 in order to open the sliding door, even if the user erroneously pulls the sliding door toward himself or herself, the user cannot apply sufficient force to the handle 13 due to the shape of the same, which makes the user impossible to pull the sliding door toward himself or herself. Thus fasteners and rails of the sliding door are prevented from being broken. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a sliding door handle used when opening and closing a sliding door, and a sliding door provided with the handle.

Sliding doors are installed and used in various places. An example of a generally used sliding door is shown in FIG.
In FIG. 4, the sliding door 50 is an upper hanging door suspended from a rail 51, and a handle 53 is attached to one end of a door plate 52. A wheel fixing portion 54 is provided above the door plate 52, and a wheel 55 is disposed in the wheel fixing portion 54 so as to be in contact with the rail 51. A person who wants to open the sliding door 50 places his / her hand on the handle 53 and moves the sliding door 50 along the rail 51 in the direction indicated by the arrow.

  However, if the handle 53 is a U-shaped one like the one shown in the figure, it is possible to accidentally pull it to the side where it is standing, instead of the direction indicated by the arrow, so the sliding door is in this direction. If 50 is pulled, the fastener of the sliding door 50 and the rail 51 will be damaged. Since the sliding door 50 is usually made without assuming such a situation, there is a situation in which it is easily damaged by being used by mistake. From the user's perspective, if you have visited several times, the direction of pulling is less likely to be wrong, but if you are in the first place, or if you are in a hurry, you may be surprised. You may make a mistake.

  Various improvements have been made with respect to the sliding door, and as one of them, an example of a technique for efficiently storing is described in Patent Document 1.

However, there has not yet been an example in which the above-described measures are taken assuming that the drawing direction is wrong.
The present invention has been made in consideration of such circumstances, and when the user tries to pull the sliding door in the wrong direction, the sliding door is prevented from being damaged and opened and closed in an appropriate direction. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sliding door handle and a sliding door provided with the sliding door handle.

  In order to solve the above problems, the sliding door handle of the present invention is a sliding door handle of a columnar body attached to the sliding door, and the columnar body has the widest mounting surface to the sliding door, from the mounting surface. It is characterized by being formed so as to become narrower as the distance increases.

Because the sliding door handle has such a columnar shape, when the user tries to open the sliding door and the user places a hand on the handle, the user accidentally tries to pull the sliding door to the side where he / she is located. Because the handle has a shape that makes it difficult to apply force, the sliding door cannot be pulled to your side with great force. Therefore, the sliding door fasteners and rails are not damaged. On the other hand, in order to normally pull the sliding door along the rail direction, it is only necessary to hold the handle by hand, and there is no problem in moving in the normal direction.
Moreover, since the attachment surface of a handle is formed so that it may become the widest, the area required in order to attach to a doorplate is fully ensured, and fixation to the doorplate of a handle is strong.

Such a columnar body can be formed by making the upper surface or the lateral surface of the columnar body a triangular shape, a trapezoidal shape, or a tip portion having an arc shape.
Columnar bodies of these shapes are easy to manufacture, and when the sliding door is pulled in the normal direction along the rail direction, the side surface formed on the columnar body may be pushed by hand, and the operability is good.

  In addition, the present invention is a sliding door to which the sliding door handle having the above-described configuration is attached, and can be prevented from being pulled in a wrong direction, so that it is not easily damaged.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a sliding door handle and a sliding door that can prevent the sliding door from being damaged even when the user tries to pull the sliding door in the wrong direction.

Below, this invention is demonstrated based on the embodiment.
FIG. 1 shows a sliding door according to an embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, the sliding door 10 is an upper hanging door suspended from a rail 11, and a handle 13 forming a columnar body is attached to one end of a door plate 12. A wheel fixing portion 21 is provided above the door plate 12, and a wheel 22 is disposed in the wheel fixing portion 21 so as to contact the rail 11. A person who wants to open the sliding door 10 places his hand on the handle 13 and moves the sliding door 10 along the rail 11 in the direction indicated by the arrow. In addition, the semi-automatic type in which the upper hanging sliding door is opened by a human hand and the door plate 12 is returned to the original position by the function of the retracting spring is widespread, and the present invention also has such a semi-automatic type. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is widely applicable to sliding doors other than the semi-automatic type or sliding doors other than the upper sliding door.
