Definitions
- the invention relates to handles, and particularly to high security handles for doors.
- High security handles for doors are well known, but are generally produced from cast stainless steel, which makes the handles relatively expensive for certain segments of the market.
- handles are produced from solid die cast aluminium, which is then machined, and although this is a reasonable product, it is not as secure as handles produced from cast stainless steel.
- GB 2 429 748 A , GB 2 360 546 A and DE 197 57 987 A1 each disclose handles with shrouds for protecting a lock cylinder, wherein the shroud is attached to the body of the handle.
- the invention according to claim 1 seeks to provide a handle which is not as expensive as a cast stainless steel handles, but is more secure than a solid die cast aluminium handle.
- the invention provides a handle comprising a body manufactured from a first material, reinforced with a back plate manufactured from a second, more robust material.
- the body is manufactured from die cast aluminium.
- the back plate is manufactured from steel.
- the body may be manufactured from some other material which is less robust than steel, for example plastics material.
- the steel plate reinforcement is deep drawn to give good protection, for example to a lock cylinder attached to the handle.
- the steel back plate may have a region which is deep drawn to project away from the plane of the back plate, providing a shroud which in use will surround a lock cylinder.
- Tapped insert bushes are used to fix the components together.
- the handle incorporates an integral spring loaded cassette, biasing an operating lever of the handles into a rest position.
- the body may be provided with a hollowed out region, for example by appropriate die casting, to provide room to accommodate the spring loaded cassette.
- the handle shown in Figures 1, 2, 3 and 7 comprises an aluminium die cast body 10 which forms the front face of the handle, and a deep drawn steel reinforcement back plate 11.
- an operating lever 11a which is biased into the rest or start position shown in the Figures by a spring cassette best shown in Figures 7 , 8a and 8b .
- the lever 11a has a boss 13 which is pivotally connected to the body 10 by a fixing insert 14 which passes through an aperture 15 in the body 10 then through a washer 16, and then into a shaped socket 17 in the boss 13.
- the fixing insert 14 is shaped to engage in the socket 17 such that the boss 13 and insert 14 rotate as one.
- the insert 14 is attached to the lever 11a by a fastener 18.
- the return spring cassette comprises two blocks 19 and each block receives within a pair of bores respective return compression springs 20.
- the insert 14 has flats 14a thereon.
- the blocks 19 abut against the flats 14a, under the action of the springs 20, and this gently holds the handle in the rest or start position.
- a pair of complementary handles will be fitted on the inside and outside of the door, as shown in Figures 4, 5 and 6 .
- the assembly will incorporate a locking cylinder 21.
- the plate 11 is deep drawn out at 22 to provide secure protection for the locking cylinder 21, reducing the risk that an intruder could drill out the locking cylinder.
- Deep drawn out portion 22 affords protection against cylinder manipulation attack. Without the shrouding effect of the deep drawn portion 22, an intruder could seek to apply lateral mechanical force to the cylinder 21, for example using a pair of mole grips, with the intention of snapping the lock cylinder in order to remove it from the locking assembly.
- the very robust steel shroud provided by the portion 22 makes such an attack much more difficult.
- the cylinder is also protected by a shroud 23 and an anti-drill cover 24.
- the back plate 11 is connected to the body 10 by tapped and drilled fixing bosses 25 and by self tapping screws 26.
- the main body 10 By manufacturing the main body 10 from die cast aluminium, the cost is reduced and it is also possible to cast a shape which leaves room to accommodate the spring return cassette. However the deep drawn steel back plate 11 increases the security of the handle.
- the fixing bosses 25 have a top hat section and clamp down onto counter bore details 28 in the steel back plate 11 thus locking the plate in place.
- the bosses 25 are internally tapped to receive through fixing machine screws which in use fix the handle to the door. This has the effect of clamping the handle rigidly to the main slab of the door.
- forward elements 25a of the bosses 25 that project through the counterbore detail 28 of the back plate 11 are externally threaded to be received in a correspondingly tapped part 25b of the faceplate 10.
- the bosses 25 secured to the faceplate 10 the back plate 11 and face plate 10 are held firmly together.
- the advantageous use of internal and external threads on the bosses 25 allows for a single part to be used to secure the back plate 11 to the faceplate 10 and to secure the handle to the door.
- the countersunk screws 26 bridge the weakest section of the handle, namely the lever assembly area, to ensure high strength throughout. This fixing method ensures that the body and the back plate act as one unit and has been found to provide high resistance to repeated attacks in security tests. It can therefore be predicted that the handle will provide high resistance to attack in a real life situation.
- Designing the reinforcing of the handle with a steel plate located at the rear of the handle means that the face plate can be hollowed out where strength is not required. This in turn enables a cavity to be introduced to accommodate the spring return cassette unit.
- die cast aluminium means that different finishes can be provided, for example with aesthetic cover plates, powder coatings, etc.
- the design also enables a different choice of operating levers to be offered with the same basic body and back plate construction.

Description
- The invention relates to handles, and particularly to high security handles for doors.
- High security handles for doors are well known, but are generally produced from cast stainless steel, which makes the handles relatively expensive for certain segments of the market.
- Other handles are produced from solid die cast aluminium, which is then machined, and although this is a reasonable product, it is not as secure as handles produced from cast stainless steel.
-
GB 2 429 748 AGB 2 360 546 ADE 197 57 987 A1 each disclose handles with shrouds for protecting a lock cylinder, wherein the shroud is attached to the body of the handle. - The invention according to
claim 1 seeks to provide a handle which is not as expensive as a cast stainless steel handles, but is more secure than a solid die cast aluminium handle. - The invention provides a handle comprising a body manufactured from a first material, reinforced with a back plate manufactured from a second, more robust material.
- In a preferred embodiment, the body is manufactured from die cast aluminium. According to the invention, the back plate is manufactured from steel.
- However, the body may be manufactured from some other material which is less robust than steel, for example plastics material.
- The steel plate reinforcement is deep drawn to give good protection, for example to a lock cylinder attached to the handle.
- According to the invention, the steel back plate may have a region which is deep drawn to project away from the plane of the back plate, providing a shroud which in use will surround a lock cylinder.
- Tapped insert bushes are used to fix the components together. Preferably the handle incorporates an integral spring loaded cassette, biasing an operating lever of the handles into a rest position.
- The body may be provided with a hollowed out region, for example by appropriate die casting, to provide room to accommodate the spring loaded cassette.
- By way of example, a specific embodiment of the invention will now be described, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
Figure 1 is a front elevation of an embodiment of a high security door handle according to the invention; -
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the handle, to a reduced scale; -
Figure 3 is a cross sectional view of the handles, taken on line A-A ofFigure 1 ; -
Figure 4 is a front elevation of a handle assembly comprising an inner door handle and an outer door handle, which in use will be connected respectively to the inside and outside of a door, only the outer door handle being visible inFigure 4 ; -
Figure 5 is a side elevation of the assembly ofFigure 4 , showing both the inner and outer door handles; -
Figure 6 is a cross sectional view on line B-B ofFigure 4 ; -
Figure 7 is an exploded perspective view of the handle according to this embodiment; and -
Figures 8a and 8b illustrate the operation of a return spring cassette of the handle. - The handle shown in
Figures 1, 2, 3 and7 comprises an aluminiumdie cast body 10 which forms the front face of the handle, and a deep drawn steelreinforcement back plate 11. - Fitted to the body is an
operating lever 11a which is biased into the rest or start position shown in the Figures by a spring cassette best shown inFigures 7 ,8a and 8b . - The
lever 11a has aboss 13 which is pivotally connected to thebody 10 by afixing insert 14 which passes through anaperture 15 in thebody 10 then through awasher 16, and then into ashaped socket 17 in theboss 13. - The
fixing insert 14 is shaped to engage in thesocket 17 such that theboss 13 and insert 14 rotate as one. Theinsert 14 is attached to thelever 11a by afastener 18. - The return spring cassette comprises two
blocks 19 and each block receives within a pair of bores respectivereturn compression springs 20. - As best seen in
Figures 8a and 8b , theinsert 14 hasflats 14a thereon. In the rest or start position shown inFigure 8a , theblocks 19 abut against theflats 14a, under the action of thesprings 20, and this gently holds the handle in the rest or start position. - When the handle is depressed to operate the assembly the
insert 14 rotates to the position as shown inFigure 8b , and theblocks 19 are forced apart against the action of thesprings 20. This means that when the handle is released the action of the spring loadedblocks 19 causes theinsert 14 to rotate in the opposite direction until the handle is returned to its rest or start position. - In use, a pair of complementary handles will be fitted on the inside and outside of the door, as shown in
Figures 4, 5 and 6 . The assembly will incorporate alocking cylinder 21. - As best shown in
Figure 7 , theplate 11 is deep drawn out at 22 to provide secure protection for thelocking cylinder 21, reducing the risk that an intruder could drill out the locking cylinder. Deep drawn outportion 22 affords protection against cylinder manipulation attack. Without the shrouding effect of the deep drawnportion 22, an intruder could seek to apply lateral mechanical force to thecylinder 21, for example using a pair of mole grips, with the intention of snapping the lock cylinder in order to remove it from the locking assembly. The very robust steel shroud provided by theportion 22 makes such an attack much more difficult. The cylinder is also protected by ashroud 23 and ananti-drill cover 24. - The
back plate 11 is connected to thebody 10 by tapped and drilledfixing bosses 25 and by self tappingscrews 26. - By manufacturing the
main body 10 from die cast aluminium, the cost is reduced and it is also possible to cast a shape which leaves room to accommodate the spring return cassette. However the deep drawnsteel back plate 11 increases the security of the handle. - The
fixing bosses 25 have a top hat section and clamp down ontocounter bore details 28 in thesteel back plate 11 thus locking the plate in place. Thebosses 25 are internally tapped to receive through fixing machine screws which in use fix the handle to the door. This has the effect of clamping the handle rigidly to the main slab of the door. In addition,forward elements 25a of thebosses 25 that project through thecounterbore detail 28 of theback plate 11 are externally threaded to be received in a correspondingly tappedpart 25b of thefaceplate 10. Thus, with thebosses 25 secured to thefaceplate 10, theback plate 11 andface plate 10 are held firmly together. The advantageous use of internal and external threads on thebosses 25 allows for a single part to be used to secure theback plate 11 to thefaceplate 10 and to secure the handle to the door. - The countersunk screws 26 bridge the weakest section of the handle, namely the lever assembly area, to ensure high strength throughout. This fixing method ensures that the body and the back plate act as one unit and has been found to provide high resistance to repeated attacks in security tests. It can therefore be predicted that the handle will provide high resistance to attack in a real life situation.
- Designing the reinforcing of the handle with a steel plate located at the rear of the handle means that the face plate can be hollowed out where strength is not required. This in turn enables a cavity to be introduced to accommodate the spring return cassette unit.
- The use of die cast aluminium means that different finishes can be provided, for example with aesthetic cover plates, powder coatings, etc.
- The design also enables a different choice of operating levers to be offered with the same basic body and back plate construction.
