In the accompanying drawings, in order to more clearly express the technical idea of the present invention, parts that are not related to the technical idea of the present invention or can be easily derived from those skilled in the art are simplified or omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 , the handle 10 for furniture according to an embodiment of the present invention may be fixed to a piece of furniture by means of a fastening part 140 so that a user can grip it.

For example, the fastening part 140 is a component for fixing the furniture handle 10 to furniture, and may be a screw, bolt, or anchor, but is not limited thereto, and can be changed in various ways from the standpoint of a person skilled in the art.

For example, the furniture may be a desk or a drawer, but is not limited thereto, and may be a home appliance.

Here, as an example, the handle 10 for furniture may include a main body 100 that forms an insertion space S into which fingers can be inserted and is fixed to the furniture, and a handle 200 that is rotated from a first position to a second position on the main body 100 by an external force and pulled by the fingers.

For example, the body part 100 may be fixed to the furniture by the fastening part 140 material.

For example, the handle part 200 may be disposed on the insertion space (S), and may be rotated while being fixed to the main body part 100 by an external force applied by a user.

For example, the first position may mean a position where the handle part 200 is located when no external force is applied to the handle part 200, and the second position may mean a position different from the first position when an external force is applied to the handle part 200 at the first position and the handle part 200 is rotated in one direction.

That is, the handle part 200 may be rotated from the first position and changed to the second position when an external force is applied while being located at the first position.

Here, the handle 10 for furniture may further include a torsion spring 300 that applies an elastic force to the handle 200 so that the handle 200 rotates from the second position to the first position when no external force is applied to the handle 200.

For example, the torsion spring 300 is configured to apply an elastic force to the handle part 200, and when an external force is no longer applied while the handle part 200 is located at the second position by an external force, the handle part 200 may be restored from the second position to the first position by the elastic force applied by the torsion spring 300.

For example, the torsion spring 300 may include one end 310 in contact with the body portion 100, the other end 320 in contact with the handle portion 200, and an intermediate portion 330 connecting the one end 310 and the other end 320.

The intermediate portion 330 may have a coil shape, and the one end 310 and the other end 320 may extend from the intermediate portion 330 .

When the position of the handle part 200 is changed from the first position to the second position, the torsion spring 300 is twisted by receiving an external force due to the movement of the position of the handle part 200, and the elastic force to return to its original shape may increase.

The elastic force of the torsion spring 300 is not expressed by torsion of any part of the one end 310, the other end 320, and the middle portion 330, but the entire torsion spring 300. In that it is expressed by torsional deformation, the durability of the torsion spring 300 is increased.

In addition, as an example, the body portion 100 may include a body portion 110 forming the insertion space S, a pin 120 preventing the handle portion 200 from being separated from the body portion 100, and a pin coupling portion 130 forming a space into which a portion of the pin 120 is inserted.

For example, at least a portion of the pin 120 may be coupled to and fixed to the pin coupling part 130 .

For example, the pin coupling part 130 may be formed extending from the body part 110 toward the insertion space (S).

Here, as an example, the handle part 200 may include a gripping part 210 pulled by a finger and a pin mounting part 220 forming a space into which a part of the pin 120 is inserted.

For example, the pin mounting portion 220 may be formed extending downward from the holding portion 210 .

For example, a part of the pin 120 may be coupled to the pin coupling part 130 and another part may be coupled to the pin mounting part 220 .

As a result, the pin mounting portion 220 may be rotated by an external force based on the pin 120 in a state of being coupled with the pin 120 .

Here, as an example, the torsion spring 300 may be disposed on the pin 120 between the pin coupling part 130 and the pin mounting part 220 to be prevented from being separated from the pin 120 .

To explain this in more detail, the pin coupling portion 130 and the pin mounting portion 220 may be disposed apart from each other by a predetermined distance, and at least a portion of the pin 120 coupled to the pin coupling portion 130 and the pin mounting portion 220 may be exposed to the outside in a space between the pin coupling portion 130 and the pin mounting portion 220.

Here, the torsion spring 300 may be disposed on the pin 120 in a space formed by separating the pin coupling part 130 and the pin mounting part 220 from each other.

For example, the pin 120 may be located on the intermediate portion 330 of the torsion spring 300 through which the pin coupling portion 130 and the pin mounting portion 220 are disposed on both sides of the intermediate portion 330. As a result, the torsion spring 300 is restricted from being moved in a height direction by the pin 120, and the pin coupling portion 130 and the pin mounting portion 220 are disposed. 0), it can be prevented from being separated from the pin 120 by limiting its movement in the lateral direction.

Also, as an example, the body part 100 may further include a fastening part 140 to which the fastening part 140 is fastened.

For example, the fastening part 140 may be formed extending from the body part 110 toward the handle part 200, that is, into the insertion space (S).

Here, as an example, the fastening part 140 may limit the rotation range of the handle part 200 from the second position to the first position.

To explain this in more detail, the fastening part 140 extends from the body part 110 in the direction of the handle part 200, and when the handle part 200 is moved from the second position toward the first position by the elastic force of the torsion spring 300, the gripping part 210 of the handle part 200 contacts the fastening part 140 so that the handle part 200 is no longer in contact with the second position. The rotation range of the handle part 200 may be limited so that it cannot be moved from the position toward the first position.

Here, as an example, the body part 100 is disposed at the upper end of the fastening part 140 to reduce noise generated due to the contact between the handle part 200 and the fastening part 140. It may further include a noise reduction unit 150.

That is, since the handle part 200 is rotated by the elastic force of the torsion spring 300 and contacts the noise reduction part 150 first before coming into contact with the fastening part 140, the noise generated due to the contact between the handle part 200 and the fastening part 140 can be reduced.

For example, the noise reduction unit 150 may be made of an elastic material, such as rubber or sponge.

In addition, as an example, the main body part 100 extends from the body part 110 in the direction of the handle part 200 from the first position of the handle part 200 to the second position. It may further include a limiter 160 for limiting a rotation range.

For example, the limiting portion 160 extends from the body portion 110 toward the handle portion 200, that is, into the insertion space S, and may be formed spaced apart from the fastening portion 140.

Here, as an example, the limiter 160 may limit a rotation range of the handle part 200 from the first position to the second position.

To explain this in more detail, the limiting part 160 extends from the body part 110 toward the handle part 200, and when the handle part 200 overcomes the elastic force of the torsion spring 300 by an external force and moves in a direction from the first position to the second position, the handle part 200 contacts the limiting part 160 so that the handle part 200 no longer moves from the first position to the second position. It is possible to limit the rotation range of the handle part 200 so that it cannot be moved in the direction toward the position.

Here, as an example, the one end 310 of the torsion spring 300 may be disposed between the fastening part 140 and the limiting part 160 .

That is, the one end 310 of the torsion spring 300 is disposed in a space in which the fastening part 140 and the limiting part 160 are spaced apart from each other, and the positional movement can be limited by the fastening part 140 and the limiting part 160.

As a result, the one end 310 of the torsion spring 300 can be fixed in position without being separated from the space between the fastening part 140 and the limiting part 160 .

Here, as an example, the main body part 100 transmits an external force between the fastening part 140 and the limiting part 160 so as to increase durability of the fastening part 140 and the limiting part 160. An external force transmission unit 170 may be further provided.

For example, when an external force is applied to the fastening part 140, the external force transmitter 170 may receive external force from the fastening part 140 and transmit the external force to the limiting part 160, and conversely, when an external force is applied to the limiting part 160, it may receive an external force from the limiting part 160 and transmit the external force to the fastening part 140.

As a result, the fastening part 140 and the limiting part 160 may not be easily damaged even when a strong external force is applied by the external force transmitting part 170 .

Also, as an example, the handle part 200 may further include a contact part 230 extending from the pin mounting part 220 and contacting the limiting part 160 .

For example, since the pin mounting portion 220 may be damaged when the pin mounting portion 220 directly contacts the limiting portion 160, it is possible to prevent the pin mounting portion 220 from being damaged due to contact of the contact portion 230 with the limiting portion 160.

In addition, the handle part 200 may further include an area increasing part 240 for increasing a contact area between the pin mounting part 220 and the gripping part 210 so as to increase durability of the pin mounting part 220.

As a result, when an external force is applied to the pin mounting portion 220 , the area increasing portion 240 may receive the external force from the device of the pin 120 and transfer the external force to the holding portion 210 .

Furniture according to another embodiment of the present invention may include the handle 10 for furniture.

In the above, the configuration and characteristics of the present invention have been described based on the embodiments according to the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and various changes or modifications can be made within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
