Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a knob cover for covering and decorating a knob.

Door knobs are usually made of metal and have spherical or other conventionally shaped heads, which do not create an aesthetically pleasing and warm color atmosphere.

In addition, during cold weather such as winter, when the door is opened or closed, a cold sensation is transmitted through the hands, giving a pleasant sensation.

For this reason, it has been conventional practice to cover the knobs.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-5888 describes a knob decoration in which a urethane platform is fixed on the inner surface of a disc-shaped cloth and squeezed rubber is sewn onto the inner surface.

Although the knob decoration allows the rotation of the knob to be relatively smooth due to the urethane foam, slippage is likely to occur between the knob decoration and the knob, and the knob is likely to deteriorate and wear out relatively quickly.

In addition, since the knobs are usually touched by hands, it is necessary to keep the cover clean, but the urethane foam that has been removed from the knob decoration is easily lost during cleaning, and it is necessary to reinstall it in the correct position.

The object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional knob covers described above, to provide a knob cover that is equipped with an interior material having high frictional resistance and that can be washed as is.

The knob cover of the present invention is a cover that covers the knob head and can be fastened to the knob body by sewing an interior fabric material dotted with one protrusion of fabric with high frictional resistance and a rubber member.

The knob cover of the present invention will be explained below according to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory view of the back side of one embodiment of the knob cover of the present invention, which is forcibly expanded.

The knob cover has an interior fabric material 2 with high frictional resistance dotted with protrusions 4 large enough to cover the knob head, sewn to the center part of the back surface of the fabric 1, and an exterior part 1 of the interior fabric material 2. The annular rubber member 3 is sewn in a stretched state, and when the tensile force from the outside is released, the annular rubber member 3 contracts to squeeze the fabric and keep the knob head covered.

The cloth 1 has a suitable decorative pattern on its surface, is preferably made of a thick cloth, and can be provided with a suitable border extension on its outer peripheral edge.

The interior fabric material 2 is made of soft rubber, low foaming vinyl chloride resin, or other suitable fabric material with high frictional resistance, and resin cotton may be interposed between the interior fabric material 2 and the fabric 1.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, it is preferable that the knob cover has a decorative string member 5 hooked to the outer side of the cloth tightening area formed by the annular rubber 1.

A fastening member 6 is attached to the decorative string member 5, and the decorative string member 5
An appropriately shaped end member 7 is attached to both ends of the .

The end member 7 may be a conical or cylindrical body formed by threading a metal wire.

The fastening member 6 is capable of fastening the decorative string member 5 hooked to the outer side of the fabric narrowing region using a suitable broach member such as a small plastic tube.

The knob cover having the above structure is shown in FIG.
When the annular rubber member 3 is extended, the fabric narrowing area is expanded, the knob head 8 is inserted, and the knob surface is brought into contact with the interior fabric material 2 to remove external force, the annular rubber member contracts and tightens the fabric. Knob body 9
The aperture knob is completely covered.

The knob cover can give an aesthetic appearance that matches the surrounding environment by the decorative pattern on its outer surface and the decorative string member 5.

The knob cover includes an interior fabric material 2 dotted with protrusions and a knob head 8
Due to the frictional resistance with the surface of the knob cover, you can smoothly rotate the knob and open/close the door from the top of the knob cover. Also, the cushioning effect of the protrusions 4 on the interior fabric material provides a good feel and prevents the door from feeling cold in cold weather. Even if other objects come into contact with the device during opening and closing, the risk of damage to other objects due to impact is reduced.

As described above, the knob cover of the present invention increases frictional resistance to facilitate the rotation of the knob, improves the buffering effect, and furthermore, if contaminated, the knob cover will be more taxy than the interior fabric material 2 and the annular rubber member 3. The knob head can be washed while it is sewn on, and after drying, the knob head can be wrapped again as it is, and is highly durable.
