Abstract

The invention relates to a door handle, comprising a handle located on the visible side of the door and a support (10) for said handle which is fixed onto the reverse side of the door. The handle has connecting elements at both extremities which penetrate recesses in the door, whereby one extremity is connected to a lever (13') which is mounted on a pivoting support (10). A housing which can contain a locking cylinder is inserted into the support (10) next to the handle. According to the invention, in order to simplify the assembly of the handle, a retaining element (25) is positioned between the support (10) and the lever (13') which, in its usual active retaining position, secures the lever in a defined pivoted position, pointing outwards. The handle can be connected easily to the lever in this pivoted position. However, when the housing is inserted into the support, the retaining element (25) is displaced into its inactive position, where it releases the lever (13').

Der in der Tür dargestellte Türaußengriff umfasst einen Träger 10, der durch nicht näher gezeigte Mittel auf der in Fig. 1 erkennbaren Rückseite 21 eines die Tür bestimmenden Türblechs 20 befestigt wird. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Schauseite 22 befindet sich ein Handgriff 30, der bügeiförmig ausgebildet ist und vorzugsweise aus einem Zieh-Klappgriff besteht. Dieser Handgriff 30, der in Fig. 2 nicht gezeigt ist, wird durch eine dort strichpunktiert angedeutete, hier geneigt verlaufende Scharnierachse 33 an den dort mit 1 1 sowie 12 gekennzeichneten Lagerlappen gelagert. Dies geschieht mindestens beim Lagerlappen 1 1 mittelbar, nämlich über einen dort schwenkbaren gelagerten Hebel 13. Der Hebel 13 ist hier als „Schwinge" ausgebildet. Im vorliegenden Fall befindet sich auch am anderen Lagerlappen 12 ein kurzer Hebel. Das Türblech 20 besitzt zunächst zwei Aussparungen 23, 24, durch welche der Handgriff 30 mit nicht näher gezeigten Anschlussteilen an seinen beiden Griffenden 31, 32 im Montagefall hindurchragt. Das eine Griffende 31 wird mit seinem Anschlussteil am freien Ende 14 des Hebels 13 befestigt, wofür die lochförmige Befestigungsstelle 15 im Arm in Fig. 2 zu erkennen ist. Eine andere, weiter vorn liegende Befestigungsstelle am Arm des Hebels 13 ist nicht erkennbar. Im vorliegenden Fall ist das andere Griffende 32 mit einem Anschluss am oben erwähnten kurzen Hebel des Lagerlappens 12 verbunden.The outer door handle shown in the door comprises a carrier 10 which is fastened by means (not shown in more detail) to the rear 21 of a door panel 20 which determines the door and which can be seen in FIG. 1. On the opposite side 22 there is a handle 30, which is designed in the shape of a bow and preferably consists of a pull-fold handle. This handle 30, which is not shown in FIG. 2, is supported by a hinge axis 33, indicated by dash-dotted lines and inclined here, on the bearing tabs identified there by 1 1 and 12. This takes place indirectly at least in the case of the bearing tab 11, namely via a lever 13 which can be pivoted there. The lever 13 is designed here as a “rocker arm”. The door panel 20 initially has two cutouts 23, 24, through which the handle 30 projects with connection parts (not shown in more detail) on its two handle ends 31, 32 in the event of installation. One end of the handle 31 is fastened with its connecting part to the free end 14 of the lever 13, for which purpose the hole-shaped fastening point 15 in the arm can be seen in FIG. 2. Another, further forward attachment point on the arm of the lever 13 is not visible. In the present case, the other handle end 32 is connected to a connection on the short lever of the bearing tab 12 mentioned above.
Im Bereich neben dem Handgriff 30 wird ein aus Fig. 1 und 4 ersichtliches Gehäuse 34 montiert, welches im vorliegenden Fall auch einen nicht näher gezeigten Schließzylinder beinhaltet. Dieses Gehäuse wird, im Sinne des Einsteckpfeils 35 von der Türaußenseite aus in den Träger 10 eingeführt und dort befestigt. Dieses Gehäuse 34 nimmt den Raum 36 neben dem Handgriff 30 ein. In diesem Raum 36 können auch geeignete Abdeckteile am Gehäuse 34 sitzen, welche ein mit dem Handgriff 30 übereinstimmendes, konformes, gefälliges Aussehen des erfindungsgemäßen Türgriffs begründen. Zur Lagerung des Gehäuses 34 besitzt der Träger 10 eine in Fig. 2 erkennbare Aufnahme 16. Die Einstecklage des Gehäuses 34 in dieser Aufnahme 16 ist in Fig. 4 gezeigt. Dort ragt das Gehäuse 34 mit seinem Innenende 37 auf der Rückseite des Trägers 10 heraus und wirkt dabei mit einem besonderen Halteelement 25 zusammen, dessen Aussehen und Wirkungsweise auch in Verbindung mit den Fig. 2 und 3 zu erkennen sind.In the area next to the handle 30, a housing 34 shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 is mounted, which in the present case also contains a locking cylinder (not shown in more detail). This housing is, in the sense of the insertion arrow 35, inserted from the outside of the door into the carrier 10 and fastened there. This housing 34 occupies the space 36 next to the handle 30. In this space 36 there can also be suitable cover parts on the housing 34, which justify a conforming, pleasing appearance of the door handle according to the invention that matches the handle 30. For mounting the housing 34, the carrier 10 has a receptacle 16 that can be seen in FIG. 2. The insertion position of the housing 34 in this receptacle 16 is shown in FIG. 4. There, the housing 34 protrudes with its inner end 37 on the back of the carrier 10 and interacts with a special holding element 25, the appearance and mode of operation of which can also be seen in connection with FIGS. 2 and 3.
Bei bestimmungsgemäßer Betätigung des Handgriffs 30 wird der Handgriff um die hier geneigt zur Horizontalen verlaufende Scharnierachse 33 geklappt. Die Ruhelage des Handgriffs 30 ist in Fig. 1 veranschaulicht. In Betätigungslage ist der Handgriff 30 vom Türblech 20 weiter weggeklappt, wird aber durch nicht näher gezeigte Federn wieder in seine Ruhelage zurückgeführt. Wie bereits erwähnt wurde wird diese Bewegung von dem Hebel 30 bestimmt, der bei dieser Klappbewegung zwischen seiner aus Fig. 4 erkennbaren Einschwenkstellung in eine entsprechende nach außen geschwenkte Stellung überfuhrt wird. Diese nach außen gerichtete Endstellung oder zumindest eine ihr nahe kommende, aus Fig. 3 ersichtliche Ausschwenkstellung 13 ' ist erforderlich oder zumindest nützlich, wenn der Handgriff 30 von außen an dem bereits an der Tür sitzenden Träger 10 montiert werden soll. In dieser Ausschwenkstellung 13' von Fig. 3 liegen die am Hebel vorgesehenen Befestigungsstellen 15 günstig. Das kann auch für den Anschluss am erwähnten kurzen Hebel beim Lagerlappen 12 gelten. Dafür sorgt das bereits erwähnte besondere Halteelement 25, und zwar selbsttätig.When the handle 30 is operated as intended, the handle is folded about the hinge axis 33, which is inclined here to the horizontal. The rest position of the handle 30 is illustrated in FIG. 1. In the actuation position, the handle 30 is folded further away from the door panel 20, but is returned to its rest position by springs, not shown in detail. As already mentioned, this movement is determined by the lever 30, which during this folding movement is transferred between its pivoting position, which can be seen in FIG. 4, into a corresponding position pivoted outwards. This outward-facing end position or at least a swiveling position 13 'that comes close to it and can be seen in FIG. 3 is necessary or at least useful if the handle 30 to be mounted from the outside on the carrier 10 already seated on the door. In this pivoting position 13 'of FIG. 3, the attachment points 15 provided on the lever are favorable. This can also apply to the connection to the short lever mentioned in the bearing tab 12. This is ensured by the already mentioned special holding element 25, automatically.
Fig. 2 zeigt die Einbaustellung des Trägers 10 um diesen, wie bereits erwähnt wurde, an der Rückseite 21 des Türblechs 20 zu befestigen. Die Befestigung des Trägers 10 erfolgt über die in Fig. 2 mit 19 gekennzeichneten Befestigungsstellen. Das Halteelement 25 besteht aus einer Blattfeder, die in den Fig. strichpunktiert hervorgehoben und mit einer V-förmigen Verkröpfung 26 versehen ist. Die Blattfeder ist mit ihrem einen, festen Ende 27 im Träger 10 befestigt und wirkt mit ihrem gegenüberliegenden freien Federende mit dem Hebel 13 zusammen. Sie ist in ihrem Endbereich mit einem Ausschnitt 28 versehen, der von einer Kante 17 begrenzt ist. Der Hebel 13 besitzt dazu eine Schulter 18, die in der Einbaustellung des Trägers 10, am Türblech 20 von der Türvorderseite aus gesehen, hinter der Blattfeder- Verkröpfung 26 liegt. Die Verkröpfung 26 kann sich federnd am horizontalen Arm des Hebels abstützen oder neben dem Arm des Hebels 13 zu liegen kommen.FIG. 2 shows the mounting position of the carrier 10 in order to fasten it to the back 21 of the door panel 20, as has already been mentioned. The carrier 10 is fastened via the fastening points marked 19 in FIG. 2. The holding element 25 consists of a leaf spring which is shown in dash-dot lines in the figures and is provided with a V-shaped offset 26. The leaf spring is fastened with its one fixed end 27 in the carrier 10 and interacts with the lever 13 with its opposite free spring end. In its end region it is provided with a cutout 28 which is delimited by an edge 17. For this purpose, the lever 13 has a shoulder 18 which, in the installed position of the support 10, on the door panel 20 as seen from the front of the door, lies behind the leaf spring offset 26. The offset 26 can be supported resiliently on the horizontal arm of the lever or come to rest next to the arm of the lever 13.
Die Fig. 3 zeigt eine Montagestellung des Trägers 10. In diesem Fall ist die bereits erwähnte besondere Ausschwenkstellung 13 ' des Hebels durch die Blattfeder gesichert. Dies geschieht, indem die federnde Blattfeder mit ihrer am Ausschnitt 28 vorgesehenen Kante 17 die bereits erwähnte Schulter 18 vom Hebel hintergreift. Diese Schulter 18 ist einfach von der hinteren Fläche des in Ausschwenkstellung 13' befindlichen Hebels gebildet. Die Blattfeder hintergreift eine vom Vorsprung 17 gebildete aus Fig. 3 erkennbare Schulter 18. Die Blattfeder befindet sich in ihrer wirksamen Halteposition. In dieser Montagestellung von Fig. 3 ist die Ausschwenkstellung 13 ' des Hebels dadurch gesichert. In dieser Ausschwenkstellung 13' lässt sich, wie bereits erwähnt wurde, der Handgriff 30 bequem auf der Schauseite 22 des Türblechs 20 an den Armen des Hebels 13' bzw. des erwähnten kleinen Hebels montieren. Die Anschlussstellen dieser Hebel ragen durch die Aussparungen 23, 24 heraus und sind für die Befestigungsvorgänge bequem zugänglich. Nach der Befestigung des Handgriffs 30 am Hebel 13 kommt es darauf an die Blattfeder unwirksam zu setzen, damit der Hebel 13 wieder ungestört seine Schwenkbewegung ausführen kann. Dies geschieht bei der Erfindung selbsttätig, durch das bereits beschriebene Einstecken des Gehäuses im Sinne des Pfeils 35 von Fig. 1 und 4. Diese Einsteckbewegung 35 erfolgt regelmäßig nach der Montage des Handgriffs 30. Die Blattfeder greift nämlich mit ihrer Verkröpfung 26 in diesen Einsteckweg im Inneren der trägerseitigen Aufnahme 16 hinein, wie noch aus Fig. 3 zu erkennen ist. Der von der Verkröpfung 26 liegende Bereich der Blattfeder dient als „Auflauframpe" für das Gehäuse 34. Beim Einstecken drückt aber das Gehäuse- Innenende gemäß Fig. 4 gegen den verkröpften Bereich der Blattfeder und drückt diese in ihre aus Fig. 4 ersichtliche unwirksame Position. Die Feder wird zunehmend gestreckt und die Haltekante 17 gibt die Schulter 18 an den immer noch in seiner Ausschwenkstellung 13 ' befindlichen Hebel frei. Der Hebel 13 wird dann durch nicht näher gezeigte Rückstellfedern in seine dortige Einschwenkstellung überführt.Fig. 3 shows an assembly position of the carrier 10. In this case, the already mentioned special pivoting position 13 'of the lever is secured by the leaf spring. This is done in that the resilient leaf spring with its edge 17 provided on the cutout 28 engages behind the already mentioned shoulder 18 from the lever. This shoulder 18 is simply formed by the rear surface of the lever in the pivoting position 13 '. The leaf spring engages behind a shoulder 18 formed by the projection 17 and can be seen in FIG. 3. The leaf spring is in its effective holding position. In this mounting position of Fig. 3, the pivoting position 13 'of the lever is thereby secured. In this swiveled-out position 13 ', as already mentioned, the handle 30 can be conveniently mounted on the front side 22 of the door panel 20 on the arms of the lever 13' or the small lever mentioned. The connection points of these levers protrude through the recesses 23, 24 and are easily accessible for the fastening processes. After attaching the handle 30 to the lever 13 it is important to put the leaf spring ineffective so that the lever 13 can carry out its pivoting movement again undisturbed. This is done automatically in the invention, by inserting the housing as already described in the direction of arrow 35 in FIGS. 1 and 4. This insertion movement 35 occurs regularly after the assembly of the handle 30. The leaf spring engages with this offset 26 in this insertion path Inside the carrier-side receptacle 16, as can still be seen from FIG. 3. The area of the leaf spring located from the offset 26 serves as a "run-up ramp" for the housing 34. When plugged in, however, the housing inner end according to FIG. 4 presses against the cranked area of the leaf spring and presses it into its ineffective position, which can be seen in FIG. 4. The spring is increasingly stretched and the holding edge 17 releases the shoulder 18 on the lever which is still in its swiveled-out position 13 '. The lever 13 is then moved into its swiveled-in position by return springs (not shown).
Sofern der Türgriff wieder von der Tür 20 demontiert und z.B. durch einen neuen ersetzt werden sollte, wird das Gehäuse 34 wieder im Gegensinne zum Einsteckpfeil 35 aus dem Träger 10 herausgezogen. Dann ist die Blattfeder wieder frei und geht, aufgrund ihrer Elastizität automatisch in ihre wirksame Position gemäß Fig. 2 über. Wird dann der Hebel 13 wieder in seine aus Fig. 3 ersichtliche Ausschwenklage 13 ' gebracht, so hintergreift die rückseitige Schulter 18 vom Hebel die Ausschnittkante 17 in der Blattfeder. Das geschieht wieder völlig selbsttätig. Die Blattfeder ist dann ohne weiteres wieder für eine neue Montage des Handgriffs 30 nutzbar. Besondere Handhabungen für die Sicherung des Hebels 13 in der Ausschwenklage 13' sind bei der Erfindung entbehrlich.If the door handle is removed from the door 20 and e.g. Should be replaced by a new one, the housing 34 is pulled out of the carrier 10 in the opposite direction to the insertion arrow 35. Then the leaf spring is free again and, due to its elasticity, automatically changes into its effective position according to FIG. 2. If the lever 13 is then brought back into its swiveling position 13 'shown in FIG. 3, the rear shoulder 18 of the lever engages behind the cut-out edge 17 in the leaf spring. This happens completely automatically again. The leaf spring can then easily be used again for a new assembly of the handle 30. Special manipulations for securing the lever 13 in the swiveled-out position 13 'can be dispensed with in the invention.
Es versteht sich, dass anstelle einer Blattfeder das Halteelement 25 auch in anderer Weise ausgebildet sein könnte. Es könnte z.B. aus Rastnasen und Rastvorsprüngen bestehen, die gegebenenfalls mit dem Träger 11 einerseits und dem Hebel 13 andererseits einstückig ausgebildet sind. Statt federnder Zungen od. dgl. könnte man auch elastisch längsverschiebliche Elemente, wie einen federbelasteten Schieber, verwenden, der in einer mit Fig. 3 vergleichbaren Montagestellung den Hebel 13 in seiner Ausschwenklage sichert und der andererseits, beim Einschieben des Gehäuses 34 von diesem unwirksam gesetzt wird. It goes without saying that instead of a leaf spring, the holding element 25 could also be designed in a different way. It could consist, for example, of locking lugs and locking projections, which are optionally formed in one piece with the carrier 11 on the one hand and the lever 13 on the other. Instead of resilient tongues or the like, one could also use elastically longitudinally displaceable elements, such as a spring-loaded slide, which, in a mounting position comparable to FIG secures its pivoting position and which, on the other hand, is set ineffective by the housing 34 when it is inserted.
