R H. DEAN DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY Filed Noin. 24 1941 Patented Aug. 22, 1944 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFlCE stedt Manufacturing Company, Detroit, Mich.
a corporation of Michigan Application November 24, 1941, Serial No. 420,183
1 Claim.
This invention relates to door handle assemblies.
It is the object of the invention to provide a simple, effective door handle assembly which may be easily anchored in place and easily removed and which is Cheap to construct.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a cross-section of a door.
Fig. 2 is a cross-section of a modified form.
Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
I designates the handle spindle, 2 the handle and 3 is an escutcheon with a fillet 20 and a bushing 13. The handle is mounted in the escutcheon by means of spring 4 bearing against washer 5 which in turn bears against the struckout portions 6 of the handle spindle. The handle is assembled into the escutcheon in this way before the escutcheon is assembled in the door.
The escutcheon is assembled in the door by means of a spring key 1. This key is inserted from the jamb face of the door through the opening 8 which is underneath the sponge rubber Weatherstrip 9. The key 1 is constructed of spring metal. This key has a wavy body portion and a turned-over end ill which is adapted to lie on the outside of the jamb face of the door. A bayonet slot 1 I has a narrow portion and an enlarged circular portion 12. The spring key is inserted in place before the handle assembly. The key is held only part way in so that the enlarged circular portion l2 of the slot in the key can permit the passage of the main body of the bushing I3. The key is pushed home and slides into the groove I 4 in the side of the bushing and locks the bushing in place, thereby assembling the handle unit neatly into the job. The spring is somewhat straightened in driving the key home and thereby exerts pressure between a portion of the bushing and the inside face of the outside panel so as to put the parts under spring stress and prevent rattling.
The construction shown in Fig. 2 involves the same structure as that shown in Fig. 1 except here the handle is rotatably held in the bushing by means of a rubber sleeve l5 and a bushing l6 such as described and claimed in the Barnes Patent No. 2,104,217, January 4, 1938. This permits a slight relocating of the position of the bearing portion of the handle in the escutcheon to accord with conditions brought about by irregularities in the door construction or the lock construction or the location of the lock structure with respect to the door.
In the handle assembly shown in 'Fig. 1, the semi-spherical bearing [1 is used to allow universal tilting of the handle spindle to irregularitiesin the position of the opening in the lock roll-back (not shown) in which the end of the spindle seats.
What I claim is:
A handle assembly having in combination with a sheet metal door having outer and inner panels joined by a jamb face having a slot therein, an escutcheon provided with a bushing having a groove in the exterior of the bushing, a handle, a handle spindle, the latter rotat'ably supported in the escutcheon and the bushing, means for holding the handle spindle in the bushing and a spring key having a bayonet slot through the enlarged end of which the said bushing is insertable, said key having a wavy body portion insertable through the slot in the jamb face of the door and engaging in the groove in the bushing after the bushing has been inserted in the en larged end of the slot of the key and after the key has pushed further into the door to bring the restricted end of the bayonet slot into the said groove, said key also engaging the inside face of the outside panel of the door to; deform the key and draw the escutcheon yieldably against the outside face of the outer panel of the door and secure the escutcheon in place in the door, the outside end of the key being bent to prevent it passing through the slot in the jamb face of the door.
