Definitions
- the present invention relates to a tubular handle for doors and windows according to the preamble of the main claim.
- the handle in question is classifiable within the industrial sector relating to the production of accessories for doors and windows and is intended to be mounted via fixing means on the sidewalls of doors and windows or on the leaves of doors, main entrances doors, French windows, windows or the like, formed by profiles made of metal, PVC or other materials.
- the boss piece B is mechanically mounted by means of screwing onto one end of the tubular body C of the handle D.
- the projecting part E consists of a threaded rod which passes through the profile F from one sidewall to the other through two holes which are aligned with each other, bearing against an end body N on one sidewall of the profile F and engaging in a locking manner with the ring nut G on the opposite sidewall.
- the threaded rod E has, screwed onto its free end, a pin H which has an annular recess I for insertion of a locking grub screw L inserted inside a first through-hole formed in the tubular end C of the handle D and inside a second through-hole aligned with the first hole formed in the boss piece B.
- the fixing means for the handles currently available on the market therefore usually require, in accordance with the above description, the provision of two holes formed in the two opposite sidewalls of the door or window. This is obviously to the detriment of the general aesthetic appearance of the door or window since the latter also has a hole in the sidewall not intended to receive the handle, such as that the threaded screw is visible from the exterior.
- the handles formed by a single tubular body with its ends bent and directed towards the sidewall of the door or window use boss pieces which are fixed by means of screwing onto the ends of the tubular body of the handle.
- the ends of the tubular body must be internally machined in order to form the inner threads needed to ensure engagement with the corresponding outer threads provided on the boss pieces.
- Locking of the handle to the door or window is performed by means of a grub screw which engages, passing through a hole formed in the end of the tubular body and in the boss piece, with a pin snugly fitted inside the boss piece and screwed onto the threaded rod fastened to the door or window.
- a drawback of the handles of the known type described above consists in the laborious machining which must be performed at the ends of the tubular body in order to form internally the threading for engagement with the boss piece. Furthermore, the need to provide internal threading at the ends of the tubular body of the handle requires the use of sufficiently large thicknesses of the tubular body in order to be able to provide the threading inside the tubular body by means of cutting and stock-removal.
- Handles with a tubular body formed as one piece are known, said handles housing, at each end of the tubular body, a boss piece which has a projecting sliding element which engages inside a track formed in the boss piece. The latter is then retained by means of a through grub screw engaging inside aligned holes formed in the tubular body and in the boss piece.
- Document EP 1695647 discloses a gripping or supporting element, comprising a shaped body provided with ends connected to a bearing structure, bushes applied to the bearing structure through first fastening means that project from the outer surface of the bearing structure and second fastening means that permanently connect said shaped body to the bushes.
- the gripping or supporting element comprises shaped inserts joined to the ends of the shaped body through third fastening means, said inserts being coupled to the bushes when the shaped body is positioned against the bearing structure.
- handles comprising a tubular gripping body connected to the door or window by two tubular spacer members which are fixed at right angles to the tubular gripping member.
- the spacing members are fixed to the tubular gripping part by means of a tie rod with its head fastened to the boss piece and its shank engaged inside a threaded hole formed in the tubular gripping body of the handle.
- the boss piece is automatically fixed to the end of the spacers so as to then be fastened in a conventional manner using a pin and grub screw to the threaded rod rigidly fastened to the door or window.
- boss piece must be firmly secured to the tubular body of the handle since it must be able to withstand the numerous mechanical stresses arising from opening and closing of the door or window using the handle grip.
- the object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the above-mentioned prior art by providing a tubular handle for doors and windows which may be easily fixed to the sidewalls of the doors and windows and which is operationally entirely reliable.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a tubular handle for doors and windows which is simple and inexpensive to produce.
- the fixture F may be of any type such as, for example a window, door, French windows or a main entrance door and may be formed with profiles made of metal, PVC or other materials.
- the handle 1 comprises a shaped tubular body 3 made of plastic or preferably metallic material such as, for example, aluminium, formed, in accordance with the example of embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3 , as a single piece with a gripping portion 3' connected continuously to two end portions 3" directed towards the sidewall P of the door or window to which they are to be connected.
- the gripping and end portions are formed as a single piece, for example by means of moulding or bending.
- the fastening device 1 comprises a threaded rod 4 which is fixed at right angles to the sidewall P of the door or window F and has a projecting portion 5 intended to be fixed to the handle 1.
- the threaded rod 4 may be fixed to the door or window in a manner conventional per se, as for example described in the patent PD2005A000238 in the name of the same applicant, or may be fixed by inserting the rod 4 inside a through-hole in the sidewall P such that the head 6 is kept in contact against a first face of the sidewall of the door or window by means of a nut screwed onto the opposite face of the same sidewall P.
- the fixing means 2 are preferably designed in an identical manner for each end 8 of the tubular body 3 and comprise two metal boss pieces 7 with a substantially cylindrical form provided internally with a coaxial seat 9 and each able to be engaged mechanically inside one end of the tubular body 3.
- a pin 10 can be screwed onto the free end of the threaded rod 4, being provided for this purpose with a counter-threaded coaxial hole.
- the pin 10 is screwed so as to keep the rod 4 rigidly fixed to the sidewall P of the door or window F, if necessary with the aid of a washer or flat insert 25.
- the end of said pin directed towards the sidewall P has a hexagonal shaped widened base for engagement with an operating tool, usually consisting of a spanner.
- the pin 10 can be mechanically connected with a form fit to the inner seat 9 of the boss piece 7.
- the pin 10 is furthermore fixed to the boss piece 7 by means of a grub screw 11 passing through a first threaded hole 12 formed in the thickness of the tubular body 3 at its end 8 and a second threaded hole 13 aligned with the first hole 12 and formed in the boss piece 7 so that the grub screw reaches the inner coaxial seat 9 housing the pin 10 and engages inside an annular recess 14 of the latter.
- the tapered shape of the recess 14 and the corresponding tip 15 of the grub screw 11 allow, when engaged in contact with each other, the handle 1 to be forced against the sidewall of the door or window F.
- the end of the pin 10 intended to come into contact against the sidewall P of the door or window F is also provided with a hexagonal shaped widened base for fitting an operating tool such as, for example, a spanner, during assembly of the device 1 on the door or window F.
- the fixing means 2 furthermore comprise a sliding element 16 projecting from the inner surface of the tubular body 3 and engaging inside a track 17 formed externally on the boss piece 7 with an end-of-travel stop 18 where the first hole and the second hole 13 are aligned with each other.
- the sliding element 16 acts transversely against the walls of the track 17, producing the mechanical resistance necessary to ensure securing of the boss piece 7 to the tubular body 3.
- the sliding element 16 is in the form of an annular projection provided around the first hole 12, as indicated in the cross-section of Figure 3 formed diametrically through said hole 12, and is obtained by means of punching or moulding of the tubular body 3.
- the second hole 13 is provided at the end of the track 17 so that, when the sliding element 16 reaches the end-of-travel stop 18, the two holes 12, 13 are aligned.
- the track 17 extends with one portion 17', directed in an axial direction along the axis of the boss piece 7 so as to allow insertion of the latter inside the tubular body 3, and with one portion 17" directed circumferentially, i.e. transversely with respect to the axial direction so as to help constrain mechanically the boss piece 7 to the tubular body 3.
- the above-mentioned track 17 has a first longitudinal section 17', arranged parallel along the axis of the boss piece 7, and a second section 17", extending along a circumference of the boss piece 7 from the inner end of the longitudinal section 17'.
- the track thereby assumes an L shape which offers numerous advantages.
- the first longitudinal section 17" is intended for insertion of the boss piece 7 inside the tubular body 3 until it reaches a slightly inset position so as to avoid coming into contact with the glass sidewall P of the door when the handle is mounted.
- the second circumferential section 17" exerts a reactive force perpendicular to that exerted by operation of the handle and transmitted by the grub screw and the projecting sliding element 16.
- the second circumferential section 17" performs the function of retaining the boss piece 7 inside the tubular body 3.
- At least one projecting nib 60 is provided in the vicinity of the end-of-travel stop 18 of the second circumferential section 17" of the track, said nib being able to be deformed by the passing movement of the projecting sliding element 16 when the boss piece 7 is forcibly inserted inside the tubular body 3.
- two opposite nibs are provided on the sides of the track 17 as shown in Figure 4 .
- the projecting sliding element 16 is retained in the end-of-travel position 18, allowing the elimination of play and preventing the boss piece 7 from coming out of the tubular body 3 during assembly.
- force may be applied using a spanner engaged on the hexagonal shaped portion of the coaxial seat 9.
- the tubular body 3 is formed by a column, in particular with a straight shape, acting as a grip 3', and with two or more end portions 3" acting as spacers for fixing, at a distance, the straight column onto the sidewall P of the door or window.
- the two spacers 3" have a first, circular, end profile and a second, shaped, end profile for resting against the outer surface of the column 3'.
- Each spacer 3" is fixed to the column 3' by means of a screw 61 which has its shank 62 inserted inside a through-hole 63 formed on the boss piece 7 and its head 64 bearing against a shoulder 65 formed on the bottom of the coaxial seat 9.
- the end of the shank 62 of the screw 61 engages inside a female thread 66 integral with the column 3' and preferably formed by an internally threaded bush welded so as to project from the outer surface of the said column 3'.
- the invention thus conceived therefore achieves the predefined objects.
