[0001] The invention relates to an installation arrangement for a pull, a support element
or the like, according to the preamble of claim 1.
[0002] Pulls, handles or the like supports for doors, windows and other places for fastening
are generally manufactured of a solid material and are fastened to the place of operation
by means of a fastening pin, which is installed between said parts and tightened by
threads, see for example US 4 499 629 A. The arrangement is simple and easy to install.
[0003] There has not been available any corresponding simple, durable and/or easily installable
way of fastening so far for hollow pulls or handles made of metal. According to known
arrangements i.a. inner sleeve elements have been used, which are fastened to the
tube-formed pull by welding or by riveting from outside. Thus, the aim of the invention
is to provide for this purpose a novel arrangement, which has an advantageous and
simple construction and which can be easily installed.
[0004] The aim of the invention can be achieved as is disclosed in claim 1 and in other
claims. According to the invention the fastening element comprises a plug, which is
locked to the inner surface of the pull or the like by means of a locking ring or
the like and the turning-of which with regard to the pull or the like is prevented.
In addition an inner space of the plug is provided with means for supporting the fastening
pin so that the movement of the fastening pin axially out from the plug and thus from
the pull or the like is prevented. Hereby it is possible to install a fastening pin
in an analogous way as provided for pulls made of solid material. The solution is
simple and advantageous as to its costs and makes sure that the fastening element
cannot detach from the pull. Hereby it is also secured that the fastening pin can
be turned relative to the fastening element during the installation phase and thus
the fastening element is not turned along, which makes an easy installation to the
place for fastening.
[0005] The fastening pin comprises a control arrangement for tightening the pull or the
like to its place of fastening. Hereby it is not necessary to make separate tightening
arrangements to the pull itself or to its body. Then the fastening pin can additionally
with advantage be supported at its either end to fastening elements installed to pulls
or the like located on different sides of a door or the like.
[0006] In the following the invention is described, by way of example, with reference to
the attached drawing, in which
- Fig. 1 shows as a general view a possible application for the invention, in which
a pull or the like may be installed on either side of an object, for instance a door,
- Fig. 2 shows an installation arrangement for a pull according to the invention, taken
in section and aimed to be placed on the inner side of an object, and
- Fig. 3 shows the arrangement according to fig. 2, which is supplemented to correspond
to the situation of fig. 1.
[0007] In the drawing reference numerals 1a and 1b indicate a pull for a door or the like.
In figs. 1 and 3 two pulls 1a and 1b are fastened to each other. This embodiment is
applicable in a situation, in which pulls are needed on either side of the place of
installation. However, the installation and especially the arrangement according to
fig. 2 can be utilized also as such. Implemented like this the invention can be adapted
apart from the actual pulls also for many other purposes like different supports,
handles, brackets etc. In the figures the actual place for installation is not shown.
[0008] The reference numeral 2 indicates a fastening pin, by means of which the pull 1a
can be fastened either directly to its place for installation or to another pull 1b,
which, thus, is installed on the other side of the place for installation. The fastening
pin 2 is tightened to its place by a tightening nut 3, which includes a counter surface
3a for a tool. The arrangement includes also a fastening element 4 to be installed
inside the tube-like pull 1a, 1b and which is axially or in the direction of the fastening
pin 2 locked to its place by means of a locking ring 5 or the like, so that in practice
it cannot be detached from the pull without breaking it.
[0009] In addition the arrangement includes an installation nut 6, which; in accordance
with figs. 2 and 3, as installed is by means of threads supported to threads 4b in
an inner space 4a of the fastening element 4 and is then in connection with an extended
head 2c of the fastening pin 2 preventing detaching of the fastening pin 2 and the
pull 1a from each other. The arrangement includes further means 7, which prevent turning
of the fastening element 4 during installation phase of the fastening pin 2. The means
7 may in practice be implemented for instance by making use of gluing or in the form
of separate grooves and protrusions arranged to be mutually engaged.
[0010] Installation of the fastening pin 2 to the fastening element 4 occurs in a fully
analogous way in comparison with the previously known arrangement by means of which
a similar fastening pin is installed to a pull made of solid material for fastening
thereof to its place of operation. The installation arrangement of the pull 1a according
to fig. 2, aimed for inner side of the place of installation, can be accomplished
as follows. After the fastening element 4 is fastened by means of the locking ring
5 and the means 7 inside the pull 1a, the fastening pin 2 is moved together with the
installation nut 6 at the position of the inner space 4a of the fastening element
4. The installation nut 6 is turned to engage the threads 4b in the fastening element
by making use of protrusions or corresponding members 2a arranged in the fastening
pin 2 and affecting the installation nut 6 only during the installation phase. Thus,
when the installation nut 6 is turned to its place to the position of fig. 2, its
force transmitting connection with the protrusions 2a and thus with the fastening
pin 2 is broken off by pulling the fastening pin 2 outward from the pull 1a into a
position shown in fig. 2. Thereby the extended head 2c of the fastening pin 2 hits
the installation nut 6, which prevents detaching of the fastening pin 2 from the pull
1a. At the same time the protrusions 2a are located at the position of the tightening
nut 3, so the fastening pin 2 is thus in force transmitting connection with the tightening
nut 3 respectively.
[0011] In the position of fig. 2 a narrow part 2b in the fastening pin 2 is located at the
position of the installation nut 6, whereby the fastening pin 2 can be turned with
regard to the installation nut 6 and thus the entire pull 1a by means of the tightening
nut 3 for fastening the fastening pin 2 by means of second threads 2d to its place
of operation or for instance to some wall or to another pull 1b as shown in fig. 3.
In the latter case also a second fastening element 4 is availed of, but departing
from the pull 1a to be installed on the inner side in this case the installation nut
8 can be preinstalled by threads to the fastening element 4 and thereafter the fastening
pin 2 can be fastened by threads to the installation nut 8 by turning the tightening
nut 3. So in contrast to the installation nut 6 the installation nut 8 includes both
outer and inner threads.
[0012] Thus the invention can be availed of in several different places of operation and
it is not limited to the embodiments disclosed, but several modifications are feasible
within the scope of the attached claims.
