Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily confirm lighting of the indoor behind a door even at night or a dark place. SOLUTION: On a door 1 having a handle 3, an opening 20 for passing light in an indoor side 12 into an outdoor side 11 is formed so that it pierces the handle 3 or a seat 2 supporting the handle 3, and the opening 20 is blocked by a light transmission body 4. As the light in the indoor side 12 passes through the light transmission body 4 to the outdoor side 11, lighting of the indoor side can be confirmed in the door without a window as a toilet, for example, from the outdoor side even at night or a dark place.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a door having a handle such as a swing door, a sliding door, a handle for opening and closing, a handle, a lever handle, and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In conventional doors such as hinged doors and sliding doors,
As a means for indicating whether the room is in use, when a key such as a thumb turn is locked from inside the room, a color display such as red is generally displayed near the handle outside the room, At night or in a dark place, the display is difficult to see, which is inconvenient.

In some cases, a light bulb or the like is attached near a switch button of an electric light so that when the room is turned on, the light bulb is also turned on at the same time. You can tell whether the room is lit at night or in a dark place. When the power distribution unit breaks down, there is a problem that the lighting in the room cannot be recognized.

[0004]

The problem to be solved by the present invention is that it is difficult to confirm whether or not the room is in use at night or in a dark place with the conventional door. The switch is turned on because the structure is complicated, and if the light bulb in the switch portion does not turn on, the lighting in the room cannot be recognized.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, in the present invention, an opening for transmitting indoor light to the outdoor side is formed through a handle or a seat supporting the handle, and each of the openings is formed of a light-transmitting light. It is assumed that it is closed by the body.

[0006] When the light inside the room is transmitted to the outside of the room through the light transmitting body, it is confirmed that the room is turned on at a door without a window such as a toilet, even at night or in a dark place. it can.

Therefore, in addition to confirming that the interior of the room is lit, if the exterior or the interior is bright, the position of the door or the handle can be visually recognized even at night or in a dark place. It is possible to check if the user has forgotten to turn off the light from outside.

Further, if at least one of the light-transmitting members for closing the openings on the indoor side and the outdoor side is formed as a lens, the light is condensed, the luminance is improved, and the light is more easily recognized.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show an example of an embodiment of the present invention, and are embodied in a door 1 having no window, such as a toilet.

On both sides of the outside 1 and the inside 12 of the door 1,
Each of the long seats 2 and 2 is attached, and a handle 3 of a lever handle type is attached to an upper portion of the long seat 2, and a light transmitting body 4 made of a lens is fitted into a lower portion of the handle 3. Further, the door 1 is provided with a hollow portion 10 for installing the internal structure of the lock or for penetrating the support shaft of the handle 3, and the light transmitting body 4 is provided as shown in FIG. The light transmitting body 4 and the hollow portion 1 are fitted to close the outdoor side 11 and the indoor side 12 of the opening 20 penetrating the long seat 2, and from the indoor side 12 to the outdoor side 11 or in the opposite direction.
Light is allowed to pass through zero.

When the light transmitting member 4 is used for a toilet or the like in addition to the above-described lens, the light is diffused to make it impossible to see through by diffusing light, such as a mold glass or a frosted glass. Is preferred in terms of privacy protection. Further, a glass block having substantially the same thickness as the door 1 to be fitted from the outdoor side 11 to the indoor side 12 may be used, and the material is not limited to glass, but satisfies the above conditions such as acrylic resin. Anything can be used. Furthermore, by using a transparent body colored with red or green, for example, it is clearly distinguished from surrounding lights, and can be easily recognized even from a distance.

Further, depending on the indoor use, the light transmitting body 4 may be made transparent so that a part or the whole of the room and the outside can be seen through each other.

The handle 3 is not limited to the lever handle type.
It may be a grip ball or something else.

Further, when the present invention is applied to an existing door, the seat may be replaced, so that the object can be achieved with a simpler construction than when the door is once removed and a window for lighting is newly provided.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show an example of a different embodiment of the present invention, in which the present invention is applied to a sliding door 41. FIG.

The handle 5 has an exterior 11 and an interior 12 of the door 41.
Each handle 5, 5 is provided on both sides, and has a flange 52 on the periphery of the upper end of a box-shaped main body 51 formed in a U-shaped cross section. In addition, the door 41 is usually formed with a hollow portion 40 for the purpose of, for example, installing an internal structure of a lock. As shown in FIG. Light is passed through the light transmitting body 4 and the hollow portion 40 from the indoor side 12 to the outdoor side 11 or in the opposite direction by being fitted to close the opening 50 provided at the same position as the hollow portion 40 through the upper portion. Is allowed to pass.

When the door 41 is not formed with the hollow portion 40, the hollow portion 4 is formed by piercing a proper position.
0 is formed.

In this way, when the indoor side 12 is lit, light is transmitted to the outdoor side 11 through the light transmitting body 4 and can be visually recognized.

FIG. 5 shows still another embodiment of the present invention. The handle 5 is provided only on the outdoor side 11 of the door 61. As described above, even when the handle 5 is provided on only one of them, the hole 60 is opened at an appropriate position of the door 61 to match the position of the opening 50 provided on the flange 52 of the handle 5, and the handle 5 is provided. By inserting the light transmitting body 4 into the hole 60 on the side where is not provided, the same effect as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

It should be noted that, as a material of the light-transmitting member 4, a transparent member other than a lens, such as glass or acrylic resin, or a transparent member or a lens having a color such as red or green may be used. This is the same as the embodiment.

[0022]

According to the present invention, it is possible to clearly see whether or not a room partitioned by a door without a window is lit from the outside even in a dark place, without the need for electric wiring or the like, with a simple structure. Can be. In addition, since it is possible to make it impossible to see through even if light is allowed to pass, privacy can be protected.

The existing door can be easily mounted simply by replacing the handle or the seat.

Further, when the hallway is dark even in the daytime, such as in an apartment, if the room is turned on, the position of the door handle can be recognized without turning on the hallway. When it is dark, the outdoor light leaks from the translucent body, so that the position of the door handle can be instantly recognized in an emergency or the like.

Further, it is possible to confirm from the outside that the user has forgotten to turn off the light in the room, which contributes to energy saving.

In addition, depending on the indoor use, the light-transmitting body can be made transparent so that it can be seen through, or it can be made light-diffusing to make it impossible to see through. It can be applied in various ways, for example, to distinguish it from light to make it easier to see.

If at least one of the light transmitting members is a lens, the light is further condensed and the light is easily recognized.
