Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement for a lever handle in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.
- extensions and/or recesses may be arranged in the lever handle and/or the escutcheon of the lever handle, and also flexible parts may be inserted thereto for keeping the lever handle horizontal. Solutions of these kinds are awkward and expensive to manufacture. (An example of such a solution is shown in DE 2 046 809 B.)
- An aim of the invention is to provide a novel solution for retaining a lever handle according to need in its separate operational positions, especially in the horizontal or vertical position, by making use of the spindle of the lever handle.
- An aim is that the solution is simple, reliable and advantageous as to its costs and it can also easily be adapted to be retrofitted when needed.
- the arrangement according to the invention includes a control piece installed between an escutcheon of the lever handle and a door, a window or the like and having flexible control members, which are arranged to cooperate with a spindle of the lever handle so, that they on the one hand are pressed against the spindle of the lever handle and hold the lever handle in a chosen operational position and on the other hand allow the lever handle to turn from one operational position to another.
- the invention makes it possible to utilize a normal spindle of a lever handle as such. Since a separate control piece is utilized, it can also be retrofitted, when needed, and correspondingly also removed from its place, in case there is no need for the arrangement.
- the control piece receives with advantage its guidance from the inner surfaces of the escutcheon of the lever handle, which retain the control piece immovable in its position.
- the control piece is only designed according to the inner surfaces of the escutcheon of the lever handle in each case.
- the control piece can be retained immovable in its position by making use of fixing screws for the escutcheon of the lever handle, by means of which the escutcheon of the lever handle is fixed to the door, window or the like.
- control members are with advantage arranged to press the spindle of the lever handle at the edges thereof.
- the control piece preferably includes a separate control member for each side of the edge of the spindle.
- the control members for separate sides of an edge of the spindle can be formed and mutually positioned so that a slot remains between them for receiving and guiding the edge of the spindle.
- the control members can easily be formed and dimensioned so that they provide a sufficient pressure for retaining a lever handle also in a horizontal position, but on the other hand they are sufficiently flexible so that the lever handle can without difficulties be turned from one position to another.
- control piece is of an elastic material, preferably plastic, it is easy to manufacture.
- FIG. 1 indicates a lever handle for a door, a window or the like, to which a spindle 3 of the lever handle is attached and which is installed to an escutcheon 2 of the lever handle by making use of a locking ring, for example, as shown in Fig. 1.
- the escutcheon of the lever handle includes holes 2b for fixing screws, by means of which the whole lever handle arrangement is fixed to a door, a window or the like (not shown).
- a separate control piece 4 made of elastic material, is installed receiving its guidance from the inner surfaces 2a of the escutcheon and which remains between the escutcheon 2 and the door, window or the like.
- the control piece can be retained immovable in its position by making use of the fixing screws installed into the holes 2b. This must naturally be taken account of when designing the control piece 4.
- the control piece comprises control members 4a ... 4g, which are arranged pair wise so that slots 5a ... 5d remain between them.
- the control members 4a ... 4g and the slots 5a ... 5d are dimensioned to receive and to guide the edges of the spindle 3 so that the spindle remains firmly in its place in its each operational position.
- the control members 4a ... 4g bend elastically allowing thus the turning movement.
- control piece 4 in each case is selected to correspond the form of the inner surfaces 2a of the escutcheon 2 of the lever handle, so that the control piece 4 remains firmly in its place irrespective of the turning movements of the lever handle 1.
- the arrangement according to the invention thus, makes it possible to provide retrofittings, and correspondingly the control piece 4 may also be removed or replaced when needed.

Claims (6)
- An arrangement for holding a lever handle (1) of a door, a window or the like in a chosen operational position, said arrangement including a control piece (4) to be installed between an escutcheon (2) of the lever handle and a door, a window or the like, which means in cooperation with a spindle (3) of the lever handle on the one hand hold the lever handle (1) in a chosen operational position and on the other hand allow the lever handle (1) to turn from one operational position to another, characterized in that the said control piece (4) has flexible control members (4a ... 4g) for each side of the spindle (3) arranged to be pressed against the spindle (3) of the lever handle (1).
- An arrangement for holding a lever handle according to claim 1, characterized in that the control piece (4) receives its guidance from the inner surfaces (2a) of the escutcheon of the lever handle, which retain the control piece (4) immovable in its position.
- An arrangement for holding a lever handle according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the control piece (4) is retained immovable in its position by making use of fixing screws for the escutcheon (2) of the lever handle.
- An arrangement for holding a lever handle according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the control members (4a ... 4g) are arranged to press the spindle (3) of the lever handle at its edges.
- An arrangement for holding a lever handle according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the control members (4a ... 4g) for separate sides of the spindle are formed and mutually positioned so that a slot (5a ... 5d) remains between them for receiving and guiding the edge of the spindle.
