Description

本発明は、引戸用ハンドル装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a sliding door handle device.

近年、引き違いサッシ等の引戸障子は、複層ガラス化により重量が重くなっており、そのため引戸を勢いよく閉めたときに、引き手から手が離れて引戸が惰性で閉まり、戸先框と竪枠の間に指を挟んでケガをする危険性がある。これを防止するものとして、特許文献1には、引戸の戸先側に出没するストッパ部材を備え、引き手から手が離れて引戸が惰性で閉まろうとした際にストッパ部材が突出状態でロックされ、ストッパ部材により引戸の全閉が妨げられるようにした安全装置が記載されている。この安全装置は、引き手が引戸開閉方向にスライド可能に設けてあり、且つ反戸先側に向けてバネで付勢してあり、引き手に手指を掛けて引戸を閉じ側に引くと、引き手がバネの付勢力に抗して戸先側にスライドし、これに伴ってストッパ部材の没入を妨げる干渉部材がストッパ部材と干渉しない下方位置に退避するため、引き手に手指を掛けたまま引戸が閉まれば、ストッパ部材は引戸内に没入して引戸の全閉を妨げないようにしている。
なお、重い引戸の開き始めの初動操作をアシストするために、引戸にレバーハンドルと、レバーハンドルと連動して回動する開きアシスト部材を設けたものは、特許文献2などに記載されているように、公知である。

It can be tilted to the closing side, and is pivotally supported on the sliding door so that it returns to the standby position when the hand is released. The opening assist member works in conjunction with the tilting of the handle toward the sliding door opening side. When the handle returns to the standby position, the finger padding prevention member protrudes to the door end side of the sliding door in conjunction with the tilting of the handle to the sliding door closing side, and the handle moves to the sliding door closing side. When the handle is returned to the standby position when the finger padding prevention member protrudes, the stopper restrains the finger padding prevention member to the protruding position. It is characterized in.

請求項3記載の発明による引戸用ハンドル装置は、請求項2記載の構成に加え、ハンドルは、基端部を垂直軸で引戸に軸支した上下2本のアームと、上下のアームの先端部同士を連結する掴みバーとを有し、一方のアームの基端部に開きアシスト部材の作動部が設けてあり、他方のアームの基端部にはストッパーの作動部が設けてあり、ハンドルが引戸開き側に傾くと、一方のアームの作動部が開きアシスト部材に当接して開きアシスト部材を戸先側に動かし、ハンドルが引戸閉じ側に傾くと、他方のアームの作動部がストッパーに当接してストッパーを指詰め防止部材の拘束を解除する方向に動かすことを特徴とする。   The handle device for a sliding door according to the invention described in claim 3 has the structure described in claim 2, and the handle includes two upper and lower arms each having a base end pivotally supported on the sliding door by a vertical axis, and distal ends of the upper and lower arms. A grip bar for connecting them, an opening assist member actuating portion is provided at the base end of one arm, a stopper actuating portion is provided at the base end of the other arm, and the handle is When tilted to the sliding door opening side, the operating part of one arm contacts the opening assist member and moves the opening assist member to the door end side, and when the handle tilts to the sliding door closing side, the operating part of the other arm hits the stopper. The stopper is moved in a direction to release the restraint of the finger padding prevention member.

請求項1記載の発明による引戸用ハンドル装置は、引戸に軸支したハンドルを掴んで操作することで、引戸に力を伝えやすく、重い引戸の開閉を容易にすることができる。ハンドルは、待機位置から引戸閉じ側に傾けることができると共に、手を離すと待機位置に復帰するように引戸に軸支したものであり、引戸を閉じる際にはハンドルが待機位置から引戸閉じ側に傾いて引戸の閉鎖操作を自然に行うことができ、そのように自然にハンドルを操作するだけで、指詰め防止部材による指詰め防止機能が働くので、操作性が優れている。指詰め防止部材は、ハンドルが引戸閉じ側に傾くのと連動して引戸の戸先側に突出し、突出したときにハンドルが待機位置に復帰するとストッパーにより突出位置で拘束されるため、ハンドルから手が離れて引戸が惰性で閉じたときには、指詰め防止部材により戸先側での指詰めを防止できる。また指詰め防止部材は、ハンドルが引戸閉じ側に傾いたままで没入方向に押されると没入するので、ハンドルから手が離れずに引戸が正常に閉じられたときには、引戸の全閉を妨げない。さらに本発明の引戸用ハンドル装置は、ストッパーが、没入した指詰め防止部材を没入位置に拘束するため、引戸が開いた状態で指詰め防止部材に指や衣服等が引っ掛かることを防止できる。   The handle device for a sliding door according to the first aspect of the invention can easily transmit and receive a force to the sliding door and easily open and close the heavy sliding door by grasping and operating the handle pivotally supported on the sliding door. The handle can be tilted from the standby position to the sliding door closing side, and is pivotally supported on the sliding door so that it returns to the standby position when the hand is released. When closing the sliding door, the handle is moved from the standby position to the sliding door closing side. The sliding door can be closed naturally by tilting it, and the finger padding preventing function by the finger padding preventing member works just by operating the handle naturally. Thus, the operability is excellent. The finger padding prevention member protrudes to the door end side of the sliding door in conjunction with the tilting of the handle toward the sliding door closing side, and when the handle returns to the standby position, it is restrained at the protruding position by the stopper. When the sliding door is closed due to inertia, the finger padding prevention member can prevent finger padding on the door end side. Further, the finger padding preventing member immerses when pushed in the immersing direction while the handle is tilted toward the sliding door closing side, and therefore does not prevent the sliding door from being fully closed when the sliding door is normally closed without removing the hand from the handle. Further, in the sliding door handle device of the present invention, the stopper restrains the immersive finger padding prevention member at the immersing position, so that it is possible to prevent a finger, clothes or the like from being caught by the finger padding prevention member when the sliding door is open.

請求項2記載の発明による引戸用ハンドル装置は、引戸に軸支したハンドルを掴んで操作することで、引戸に力を伝えやすく、重い引戸の開閉を容易にすることができる。ハンドルは、待機位置から引戸開き側及び引戸閉じ側に傾けることができると共に、手を離すと待機位置に復帰するように引戸に軸支したものであり、引戸の開閉操作に伴ってハンドルが待機位置から引戸開き側又は引戸閉じ側に傾いて引戸の開閉操作を自然に行うことができ、そのように自然にハンドルを操作するだけで、引戸を開く際には開きアシスト部材が戸先側に突出して開き始めの初動操作をアシストし、引戸を閉じる際には指詰め防止部材が指詰めを防止するので、操作性、機能性が極めて高い。指詰め防止部材は、ハンドルが引戸閉じ側に傾くのと連動して引戸の戸先側に突出し、突出したときにハンドルが待機位置に復帰するとストッパーにより突出位置で拘束されるため、ハンドルから手が離れて引戸が惰性で閉じたときには、指詰め防止部材により戸先側での指詰めを防止できる。また指詰め防止部材は、ハンドルが引戸閉じ側に傾いたままで没入方向に押されると没入するので、ハンドルから手が離れずに引戸が正常に閉じられたときには、引戸の全閉を妨げない。   In the sliding door handle device according to the second aspect of the present invention, it is possible to easily transmit force to the sliding door and to easily open and close the heavy sliding door by grasping and operating the handle pivotally supported on the sliding door. The handle can be tilted from the standby position to the sliding door opening side and the sliding door closing side, and is supported by the sliding door so that it returns to the standby position when the hand is released. The sliding door can be opened and closed naturally by tilting from the position to the sliding door opening side or sliding door closing side, and when opening the sliding door just by operating the handle naturally, the opening assist member is moved to the door tip side. When the sliding door is closed and the initial movement operation is started and the sliding door is closed, the finger padding prevention member prevents finger padding, so that operability and functionality are extremely high. The finger padding prevention member protrudes to the door end side of the sliding door in conjunction with the tilting of the handle toward the sliding door closing side, and when the handle returns to the standby position, it is restrained at the protruding position by the stopper. When the sliding door is closed due to inertia, the finger padding prevention member can prevent finger padding on the door end side. Further, the finger padding preventing member immerses when pushed in the immersing direction while the handle is tilted toward the sliding door closing side, and therefore does not prevent the sliding door from being fully closed when the sliding door is normally closed without removing the hand from the handle.

請求項3記載の発明による引戸用ハンドル装置は、ハンドルを、基端部を垂直軸で引戸に軸支した上下2本のアームと、上下のアームの先端部を連結する掴みバーとで構成したので、引戸の開閉時に掴みバーが傾かないため、重い引戸の開閉がより一層容易に行える。また、一方のアームの基端部に開きアシスト部材の作動部を設け、他方のアームの基端部にストッパーの作動部を設けることで、簡単な構造によって開きアシスト部材とストッパーを引戸開閉時のハンドルの動きにそれぞれ連動させることができる。   In the sliding door handle device according to the invention described in claim 3, the handle is composed of two upper and lower arms whose base end is pivotally supported on the sliding door by a vertical axis, and a grip bar connecting the distal ends of the upper and lower arms. Therefore, since the grip bar does not tilt when the sliding door is opened and closed, the heavy sliding door can be opened and closed more easily. In addition, by providing an opening assist member actuating part at the base end of one arm and a stopper actuating part at the base end of the other arm, the opening assist member and the stopper can be opened and closed with a simple structure. Each can be linked to the movement of the handle.

次に、図1に即して本引戸用ハンドル装置の動作を説明する。引戸1が全閉しハンドル2が待機位置にある状態では、図1(a)に示すように、開きアシスト部材8はねじりバネ22の付勢力により没入位置に保持され、指詰め防止部材3はストッパー4の没入時用係止部6が没入時用被係止部25に係止して没入位置に拘束されている。
引戸1を開ける際にハンドル2が引戸開き側に傾くと、図1(b)に示すように、上側のアーム9aの作動部11が開きアシスト部材8を戸先側に押して動かし、開きアシスト部材8が台座の窓20aから引戸1の戸先側に突出して竪枠21に取付けたプレート31を押圧し、その反力によって引戸1が開き側に押されることから、開き始めが軽くなる。ハンドル2から手を離すと、ハンドル2は待機位置に復帰するので、開きアシスト部材8は台座15内に没入する。この間、指詰め防止部材3は、ストッパー4により没入位置で拘束されたままである。
引戸1を閉じる際にハンドル2が引戸閉じ側に傾くと、図1(c)に示すように、下側のアーム9bの作動部12がストッパー4の係合部29と当接してストッパー4を時計回りに回転させ、これにより没入時用係止部6が指詰め防止部材3から離れるため、指詰め防止部材3がねじりバネ27の付勢力により反時計回りに回転し、鎌状部24が引戸1の戸先側に突出する。その後、ハンドル2に手を掛けたまま引戸1が正常に閉じられると、ハンドル2が引戸閉じ側に傾いた状態で維持され、ストッパー4の没入時用係止部6が指詰め防止部材3から離れた位置にあるため、指詰め防止部材3は竪枠21のプレート31に当たって台座15内に没入し、引戸1の全閉を妨げない。その後、ハンドル2から手を離すと、ハンドル2が待機位置に復帰するのに伴ってストッパー4がねじりバネ30の付勢力によって反時計回りに回転し、ストッパー4の没入時用係止部6によって指詰め防止部材3が没入位置に拘束される。
引戸1を閉じる途中でハンドル2から手が離れ、ハンドル2が待機位置に復帰すると、図1(d)に示すように、ストッパー4が下側のアーム9bの作動部12に当接した状態で反時計回りに回転し、ストッパー4の突出時用係止部7に指詰め防止部材3の突出時用被係止部26が係止して、指詰め防止部材3が突出位置で拘束される。これにより戸先框13と竪枠21との間に2〜3センチの隙間が形成されることから、指詰めを未然に防止できる。指詰め防止部材3を引っ込めるには、ハンドル2を引戸閉じ側に傾ければストッパー4が時計回りに回転して突出時用係止部7が指詰め防止部材3から離れるので、その状態で引戸1を全閉すればよい。
Next, the operation of the handle device for a sliding door will be described with reference to FIG. In the state where the sliding door 1 is fully closed and the handle 2 is in the standby position, as shown in FIG. 1A, the opening assist member 8 is held in the immersive position by the urging force of the torsion spring 22, and the finger jamming prevention member 3 is The locking portion 6 for immersing the stopper 4 is locked to the locked portion 25 for immersing and is restrained at the immersing position.

During this time, the finger filling preventing member 3 remains restrained at the immersive position by the stopper 4.
When the handle 2 is tilted toward the sliding door closing side when the sliding door 1 is closed, the operating portion 12 of the lower arm 9b comes into contact with the engaging portion 29 of the stopper 4 as shown in FIG. By rotating clockwise, this causes the immersive locking portion 6 to move away from the finger padding prevention member 3, so that the finger padding prevention member 3 rotates counterclockwise by the biasing force of the torsion spring 27, and the sickle-shaped part 24 It protrudes to the door end side of the sliding door 1. Thereafter, when the sliding door 1 is normally closed while the hand is held on the handle 2, the handle 2 is maintained in a state tilted toward the sliding door closing side, and the locking portion 6 for immersing the stopper 4 is removed from the finger plugging prevention member 3. Since it is in a distant position, the finger padding prevention member 3 hits the plate 31 of the collar frame 21 and is immersed in the pedestal 15 so as not to prevent the sliding door 1 from being fully closed. Thereafter, when the hand is released from the handle 2, the stopper 4 is rotated counterclockwise by the biasing force of the torsion spring 30 as the handle 2 returns to the standby position, and the stopper 4 is inserted by the locking portion 6 for immersion. The finger padding prevention member 3 is restrained at the immersion position.
When the hand is released from the handle 2 in the middle of closing the sliding door 1 and the handle 2 returns to the standby position, the stopper 4 is in contact with the operating portion 12 of the lower arm 9b as shown in FIG. Rotating counterclockwise, the protrusion locking portion 26 of the finger pad preventing member 3 is locked to the protrusion locking part 7 of the stopper 4, and the finger pad preventing member 3 is restrained at the protruding position. . As a result, a gap of 2 to 3 cm is formed between the door toe bar 13 and the bar frame 21, so that finger padding can be prevented in advance. In order to retract the finger padding prevention member 3, if the handle 2 is tilted to the sliding door closing side, the stopper 4 rotates clockwise and the protruding locking portion 7 is separated from the finger padding prevention member 3, so that the sliding door is in that state. 1 should be fully closed.

図8は、本発明の引戸用ハンドル装置の第二実施形態を示している。ハンドル2は、室内外方向の軸32回りに回動するレバーハンドル形式のものとなっており、通常は引戸内に内蔵した付勢部材(図示省略)により実線で示す待機位置に保持され、引戸の開閉操作時には二点鎖線で示すように引戸開き側及び引戸閉じ側に傾き、手を離すと待機位置に復帰する。ハンドルの軸32には、開きアシスト部材8の作動部11とストッパーの作動部12とが設けてあり、引戸開閉時にハンドル2が引戸開き側及び引戸閉じ側に傾くのに連動して、開きアシスト部材8と指詰め防止部材3とストッパー4とが、先に述べた第一実施形態のものと同じように作動する。   FIG. 8 shows a second embodiment of the sliding door handle device of the present invention.
