- Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , a face plate and door handle assembly embodying the present invention is shown to include a face plate 1 and afirst fixing plate 2 attached to the face plate 1 on an inner surface of the face plate 1. Preferably, the face plate 1 is provided with a plurality of hollow posts 12 (only one is shown inFIG. 2 ) projecting inwardly from an inner surface of the face plate 1 and each having afemale screw hole 121. Thefirst fixing plate 2 is formed with a plurality ofslotted parts 23 havingrespective slots 231 in alignment with the respectivehollow posts 12. Eachslotted part 23 protrudes from the first fixing plate 1 to cover the corresponding one of thehollow posts 12, and is fastened to the correspondinghollow post 12 through a fastener or screw 24. The face plate 1 further includes aface plate hole 11 which is surrounded by thehollow posts 12. Thefirst fixing plate 2 further includes ahole 21 aligned with theface plate hole 11, and a substantially L-shapedspring retaining element 22 projecting inwardly from the inner side of thefirst fixing plate 2 opposite to the face plate 1. - A sleeve member 3 is provided for insertion into the
face plate hole 11 and thehole 21, and includes anannular shoulder 31 abutting an outer surface of the face plate 1, and anannular groove 32 formed between theannular shoulder 31 and anend 33 of the sleeve member 3. Aretaining ring 6 is received in theannular groove 32 at the inner surface of the face plate 1 opposite to theannular shoulder 31. - A rotary first handle which may be a handle lever designated at 4 has a
connection part 40 for insertion into the sleeve member 3. Theconnection part 40 of thehandle lever 4 is hollow and has aprotrusion 41 and anaperture 42. - A
first returning mechanism 5 for returning thehandle lever 4 includes atubular member 51 having one end connected to aspring support 50 holding atorsion spring 55. Thetorsion spring 55 has twospring ends 551 that project at two sides of atab 53 of thespring support 50. Another end of thetubular member 51 extends through theface plate hole 11 and thehole 21 and is inserted into theconnection part 40. Anengaging member 52 is provided in thetubular member 51 and is biased by aspring 521 to project resiliently outward to engage theaperture 42 of thefirst connection part 40 so that thetubular member 51 is rotatable along with thehandle lever 4. Since theengaging member 52 is conventional, it will not be detailed hereinafter. Thetubular member 51 further has anaxial groove 54 to receive slidably theprotrusion 41 of thehandle lever 4. - In assembly, the
first fixing plate 2 is fastened to the face plate 1, the sleeve member 3 is inserted into theface plate hole 11 and thehole 21, theconnection part 40 is inserted into the sleeve member 3, and thetubular member 51 is inserted into the sleeve member 3 and theconnection part 40 and engages therewith through theengaging member 52. Thetab 53 of thespring support 50 is aligned with thespring retaining element 22 of thefirst fixing plate 2 so that the two spring ends 551 extend on two sides of thespring retaining element 22. - When the
handle lever 4 is turned, thetubular member 51 and thespring support 50 turn along with thehandle lever 4 so that one of thespring ends 551 engages thespring retaining element 22 and theother spring end 551 moves away from thespring retaining element 22. After thehandle lever 4 is released, thehandle lever 4 is returned to its original position by the restoring force of thetorsion spring 55. - As mentioned above, the
first fixing plate 2 is of a separate piece from the face plate 1 and is fastened to an inner surface of the face plate 1. Furthermore, the sleeve member 3 is also a separate piece from the face plate 1 and is inserted into theface plate hole 11. As the face plate 1 can be fabricated independently of thefirst fixing plate 2 and the sleeve member 3, the construction of the face plate 1 is simple and does not have any means for cooperation with thetorsion spring 55. - While the
handle lever 4 is used in this embodiment, ahandle knob 4′, which has a substantially spherical shape as shown inFIG. 3 , may be used in place of thehandle lever 4. - Referring to
FIGS. 4, 5 and 6, another face plate and door handle assembly embodying the present invention is shown to include a face plate 1, asecond fixing plate 2′, abearing ring 35, a rotarysecond handle 4A and a second returningmechanism 5′. The rotary second handle is ahandle lever 4A. Thesecond fixing plate 2′ differs from thefirst fixing plate 2 in that thefixing plate 2′ is provided with an additionalannular collar 25 and two spring retaining elements in the form ofbosses 26. Theannular collar 25 and the spring retaining elements orbosses 26 project from the inner side of thesecond fixing plate 2′ oppositely of the face plate 1. Theannular collar 25 is formed around thehole 21, whereas thebosses 26 are provided on two sides of thehole 21. - The second returning
mechanism 5′ includes atorsion spring 55′ disposed around and held by theannular collar 25. Two spring ends 551′ of thespring 55′ engage respectively the spring retaining elements or bosses 26 (seeFIG. 6 ). Thebosses 26 are hollow and may be used to receive fasteners (not shown) which pass throughholes 13 of the face plate 1. - A
spring support plate 50′ is provided to cover thetorsion spring 55′ and theannular collar 25. Thespring support plate 50′ includes ahole 501′, for alignment with theface plate hole 11, two substantially oppositecurved apertures 57′ on two sides of thehole 501′, twoopposite protrusions 56′ between thecurved apertures 57′, and twoopposite prongs 58′ on two sides of thecurved apertures 57′ Eachprong 58′ engages one of the spring ends 551′ in a conventional manner. - The
handle lever 4A includes aconnection part 40A which includes an annular shoulder 41A, two oppositecurved ends 42A and two diametricallyopposite notches 44A each defined between the curved ends 42A. Eachcurved end 42A has a retaininggroove 43A. - In assembly, the bearing
ring 35 is fitted in theface plate hole 11 and abuts with thesecond fixing plate 2′, and thehandle lever 4A is inserted into the bearingring 35 and thehole 21. The twocurved ends 42A of thehandle lever 4A respectively extend through thecurved apertures 57′ of thespring support plate 50′, and the twoprotrusions 56′ project into thenotches 44A of thehandle lever 4A, respectively. The retainingring 6 is received in the retaininggrooves 43A of the curved ends 42A. Awasher 61 is provided between the retainingring 6 and thespring support plate 50′. - The construction of the face plate 1 is used in either one of the assembly shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2 and the assembly shown inFIGS. 4 and 5 . For assembly with the rotary first handle or handlelever 4 and the first returningmechanism 5, the face plate 1 is used in association with thefirst fixing plate 2, the sleeve member 3 and the retaining 6. For the rotary second handle or handlelever 4A and the second returningmechanism 5′, the face plate 1 is associated with thesecond fixing plate 2′, the bearingring 35 and the retainingring 6. Therefore, the face plate 1 can be assembled selectively with either one of the handle levers 4 and 4A. - While the present invention has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiments, itis understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretations and equivalent arrangements.
