[0001] The present invention refers to a device for mounting a handle to a leaf of a door
or window.
[0002] The present invention also refers to a method for mounting a handle to a leaf of
a door or window by means of such a device.
[0003] In the field of windows and doors and fixtures it is known to use handles that are
applied to the profile that forms the side of the mobile panels (leaves) opposite
the one at which the hinges for articulating the mobile panel itself are fixed and
the rotation of which controls the sliding of one or more vertical shafts also housed
in the same profile by means of a suitable moving device.
[0004] These vertical shafts, in turn, can control or form closure elements of the window
or door.
[0005] The moving device - which, in the jargon, is called "mechanism" ("macchinetta") -
supports and contains a rotating element, which is provided with a coupling seat for
coupling in rotation with the pin of the handle (a pin that, in the jargon, is indicated
as "square spindle" or "square pin" given its right quadrangular cross section), and
a mechanism that makes it possible to transform the rotary motion of such a rotating
element into translation movement of one or two sliders in turn able to be coupled
with a respective said vertical shaft.
[0006] Known moving devices ("mechanisms") are encased in hollow seats formed in the profile
that forms a side of the leaf; this imposes limitations of the overall bulk of such
moving devices.
[0007] According to the prior art, handles which can be coupled with such moving devices
comprise an attachment washer or base on which the main body forming the lever, the
knob or the control handle in which the square pin is engaged is mounted in a rotary
manner.
[0008] The attachment washer or base is fixed to the profile through screws that engage
in corresponding threaded holes formed in the box of the moving device ("mechanism")
or in a contrast body. For this purpose, the attachment washer or base is crossed
by a plurality of holes that lie over corresponding holes formed in the profile itself
for the passage through them of the screws for fixing to the box of the moving device
or to the contrast body.
[0009] The attachment washer or base, moreover, contains reference members of the different
angular positions that the handle takes up in use (open, closed and/or overturned).
[0010] Such attachment washers or bases are an additional component of the control handles
that increase the production costs thereof and that require long and laborious operations
both for assembly to the remaining components forming the respective handle and for
mounting on the profile coupled with the moving device.
[0011] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art.
[0012] Within this general purpose, a purpose of the present invention is to provide a device
for mounting a handle to a leaf of a door or window that makes it possible to also
mount handles without attachment washers or bases on a leaf of a door or window, ensuring
the correct coupling with the respective moving device.
[0013] Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for mounting a handle
to a leaf of a door or window that makes it possible to securely mount a handle on
a profile forming a side of a leaf of a door or window whatever the material from
which such a profile is made and independently from the thicknesses of the walls of
such a profile.
[0014] Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for mounting a handle
to a leaf of a door or window that makes it possible to simplify the operations both
of assembling and of mounting the relative control handle.
[0015] Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for mounting a handle
to a leaf of a door or window that makes it possible to ensure stable and secure mounting
of the handle and precise and secure positioning of the handle itself in its different
use positions.
[0016] Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for mounting a handle
to a leaf of a door or window that is structurally simple, of reduced overall bulk
and applicable on profiles even of small section.
[0017] These purposes according to the present invention are achieved by providing a device
for mounting a handle to a leaf of a door or window as outlined in claim 1.
[0018] These purposes according to the present invention are achieved by providing a method
for mounting a handle to a leaf of a door or window as outlined in claim 13.
[0019] Further characteristics are provided in the dependent claims.

to a leaf of a door or window according to the present invention will become clearer

[0021] With reference to the attached figures, a device 10 for mounting a handle 100 on
a leaf of a door or window is shown.
[0022] It should be specified that in the present description adjectives such as "first"
and "second" are used only for greater clarity and should not be understood in a limiting
sense.
[0023] Adjectives such as "front" and "rear", "vertical" and "horizontal", on the other
hand, refer to the usual use conditions of a device 10.
[0024] The device 10 can be used, in particular, for mounting a handle 100 on a profile
200 defining a side of a leaf of a door or window.
[0025] The device 10 can be used, in particular, for mounting a handle 100 of the type comprising
a main body 101 and a pin 102 having polygonal cross section.
[0026] The main body 101 in turn comprises a first portion that defines a handgrip, for
example a handle or knob, and a second portion that defines a neck in which an axial
end segment of the pin 102 can be engaged.
[0027] The pin 102 has, in general, a right quadrangular cross section, in particular square
and, for this reason, it is also known in the field as "square pin".
[0028] The engagement between the pin 102 and the main body 101 is made by means of couplings
and/or connection members configured to obtain a rigid, complete (i.e. such as to
eliminate any possibility of relative movement both by translation, and by rotation
between the pin 102 and the main body 101) and removable connection of the first in
the second. Such couplings and/or connection members are of the type known by those
skilled in the art and, for this reason, are not described in detail.
[0029] It should also be specified that the attached figures (figure 6) show a possible
embodiment of the connection members of the pin 102 to the main body 101, wholly indicated
with reference numeral 103, of the type of the one described in patent application
WO2012/045702A1, the description of which is referred to here; such an embodiment, however, is not
limiting for the purposes of the present invention, the connection members between
the pin 102 and the main body 101 could be different from those shown in the attached
figures. Purely as an example, the pin 102 could be inserted in a hollow seat formed
in the main body 101 and having a cross section matching that of the pin itself so
as to make a prismatic coupling with it, whereas the relative axial sliding between
the pin 102 and the main body 101 could be prevented through the use of at least one
threaded dowel that screws into a radial threaded through hole formed in the neck
of the main body 101.
[0030] As known, moreover, the axial end segment of the pin 102 opposite the one that engages
with the handle 100 can in turn be engaged in a moving device 300 for moving opening
and closing members of the door or window.
[0031] The moving device 300 is of the
per se known type by those skilled in the art and for this reason it is not described in
detail and is only partially illustrated in the attached figures.
[0032] In general terms and for what is relevant here, the moving device 300 is generally
housed in a recess 201 of the leaf or of the profile 200 that forms the leaf and is
provided with a rotating element 301 in which the pin 102 engages.
[0033] The rotating element 301 is set in rotation by the pin 102; the rotating element
301 is connected to the manoeuvring and closure members of the door or window (not
shown) by means of a mechanism adapted for transforming the rotary motion of the first
into a sliding motion of the second.
[0034] For the sake of clarity of description, the axial segment of the pin 102 that engages
with the moving device 300 is indicated as "first axial segment" 102a, whereas the
axial segment of the pin 102 that engages with the main body 101 is indicated as "second
axial segment" 102b.
[0035] Between the first axial segment 102a and the second axial segment 102b of the pin
102 an intermediate axial segment 102c is defined that, as detailed hereinafter, engages
with the device 10.
[0036] Finally, the shape of the profile 200 that defines a side of the leaf - the side
on which the handle 100 is mounted by means of the device 10 - could be different
from that shown in the attached figures.
[0037] In general terms, as far as what is relevant here is concerned, the profile 200 comprises
a wall 202 that is substantially coplanar or parallel to the plane of the leaf and
on which the handle 100 must be mounted. A slot 203 is formed in the wall 202 at the
recess 201 in which the moving device 300 is housed; the shape, size and position
of the slot 203 are such as to allow access at least to the rotating element 301.
[0038] As known to those skilled in the art, the rotation axis of the rotating element 301
is substantially orthogonal to the wall 202 and generally horizontal.
[0039] Having said all the above, the device 10 comprises:
- a base body 11 that is provided with connection members 12 for the rigid, complete
and removable connection of the base body 11 to a leaf of a door or window, i.e. to
the profile 200,
- a bush 13 that is supported by the base body 11 in a rotary manner around a rotation
axis R coinciding with the longitudinal axis of the bush 13, wherein the bush 13 is
crossed by a through hole 130 that is coaxial to the rotation axis R and that, along
at least one axial segment thereof, has a polygonal cross section substantially matching
that of the pin 102,
- first axial locking members 14 for locking the relative sliding of the base body 11
and of the bush 13 along the rotation axis R, and
- snap-stop means 15 for removably stopping the bush 13 in at least two different angular
positions and that are arranged between the base body 11 and the bush 13.
[0040] The base body 11 with the relative connection members 12, the bush 13 and the snap-stop
means 15 are assembled in a "pack" to form a single assembly constituting the device
10, the relative axial withdrawal of the base body 11, of the bush 13 and of the snap-stop
means 15 arranged between them being prevented by the first axial locking members
14.
[0041] The device 10 also comprises second axial locking members 16 for locking the relative
axial sliding of the bush 13 and of the pin 102 when inserted in it.
[0042] In greater detail, the base body 11 has a first face 11a, which constitutes a resting
face on the wall 202, and a second face 11b, which is opposite the first one.
[0043] A shaped protuberance 17 copying the shape of the slot 203 and able to be inserted
in the latter can project from the first face 11a.
[0044] As can be seen from the attached figures, the shaped protuberance 17 has one or more
radial projections 17' that are adapted for inserting in corresponding radial notches
203' of the slot 203 so as to prevent the relative rotation of the base body 11 (and
with it of the entire device 10) with respect to the wall 202. With reference to the
embodiment shown in the attached figures 1 to 7a, the shaped protuberance 17 consists
of a framework of circular shape that projects from the first face 11a and that has
a plurality of radial projections 17' of lobed shape; the shape of the slot 203 being
analogous.
[0045] The base body 11 is crossed by a through hole 18 that extends between the first face
11a thereof and the second face 11b thereof and in which the bush 13 is rotatably
supported with interposition of an anti-friction element of the type of a flanged
bush or washer 19 made of anti-friction material.
[0046] The device 10 comprises a covering element 20 of the base body 11, i.e. of the second
face 11b of the base body 11 and of the thickness thereof that, in mounting configuration,
projects from the wall 202.
[0047] The covering element 20 is crossed by a through hole 21 that surrounds the bush 13
and can be removably coupled on the base body 11 for example with an interlocking,
snap or shape coupling.
[0048] The shape and size of the base body 11 and/or of the covering element 20 can change
depending on the requirements of the case; in a preferred embodiment, the dimensions
in the plane (width and length, i.e. diameter) of the base body 11 and/or of the covering
element 20 are selected so as to substantially correspond with the plane dimensions
(width and length, i.e. diameter) of the neck of the handle 100, as for example shown
in figures 1 to 7a-7f, or in any case such as to cover the slot 203, as for example
shown in figures 8 to 13a-13d.
[0049] The connection members 12 can be of the obstacle and/or friction type.
[0050] In the first embodiment shown in the attached figures, the connection members 12
comprise at least one pair of clamping plates 22 that are supported by the base body
11 by means of respective screws 23 inserted in corresponding through holes 24 formed
in the base body 11. The clamping plates 22 are guided in corresponding seats 25 that
are formed in the base body 11 and that are shaped so as to prevent the rotation of
the clamping plates 22 together with the screws 23.
[0051] The seats 25 are defined by a tongue 25a (figure 3) or by a pair of tongues 25a,
25b (figure 6A) that project from the first face 11a in a direction substantially
orthogonal to it, respectively at one flank or at both opposite flanks of each clamping
plate 22, so as to prevent the rotation of the clamping plates 22 in one or both directions
of rotation with respect to the axis of the respective screw 23, except for clearances
and construction and mounting tolerances.
[0052] The screws 23, and with them the respective plates 22, are liable to make an oscillating
movement on a plane orthogonal to the first face 11a and that contains the axis of
the screw 23 and the rotation axis R. Such an oscillating movement is due to the clearances
and to the construction and mounting tolerances and can be useful in the mounting
step of the device 10 on the profile 200.
[0053] As described hereinafter, the clamping plates 22 can be inserted in the slot 203
below the wall 202 and, by means of the screws 23, are brought towards the base body
11 so as to clamp the wall 202 between them and the base body 11.
[0054] The insertion of the clamping plates 22 in the slot 203 takes place without the clamping
plates 22 being rotated together with the screws 23, such a rotation moreover being
obstructed or prevented in one or both directions of rotation.
[0055] This first embodiment is particularly suitable for mounting a handle 100 on a profile
200 of a new leaf, in which to thus form the slot 203 for the first time in the desired
shapes and sizes.
[0056] Advantageously, the clamping plates 22 are provided with clamping teeth 26 adapted
for engaging with the wall 202.
[0057] In the second embodiment shown in the attached figures, the connection members 12
are of the threaded type and comprise at least one pair of screws 28 able to engage
in corresponding threaded holes formed in the body of the moving device 300 or in
a contrast body housed in the leaf (profile 200) below the wall 202.
[0058] The screws 28 can be inserted through corresponding through holes 204 formed in the
wall 202.
[0059] This second embodiment is suitable, in particular, in the case in which an existing
handle must be replaced and, therefore, the existing slot 203 and through holes 204
must be used.
[0060] The bush 13 comprises in succession along its axial extension:
- a first end segment 13a at which the first axial locking members 14 are arranged,
- an intermediate segment 13c, along which the axial segment of the through hole 130
that has polygonal cross section substantially matching that of the pin 102 (in the
depicted case square) extends at least in part, and
- a second end segment 13b, at which the second axial locking members 16 are arranged.
[0061] Advantageously, the through hole 130 has polygonal cross section substantially matching
that of the pin 102 along the entire axial extension of the bush 13, extending along
the first end segment 13a, the intermediate segment 13c and the second end segment
13b.
[0062] The first end segment 13a projects for at least one segment beyond the first face
11a of the base body 11.
[0063] Such a first end segment 13a is interrupted by longitudinal notches 131 that define
respective tongues having a certain degree of elasticity.
[0064] On the outer lateral surface of such a first end segment 13a an annular throat 132
is formed that receives a stop ring 29 of the elastic type (Seeger) that helps to
form the first axial locking members 14.
[0065] As detailed hereinafter, the stop ring 29 cooperates with a shoulder 30 of the bush
13 against which the base body 11 rests, directly or indirectly.
[0066] The first axial locking members 14 are of the obstacle type. However, this does not
rule out alternative embodiments of the first axial locking members 14.
[0067] The intermediate segment 13c is received in the bush or washer 19.
[0068] The second end segment 13b projects from the second face 11b of the base body 11;
the cross section of said second end segment 13b is greater than the cross section
of the intermediate segment 13c and of the first end segment 13a so as to form the
shoulder 30 that helps to form the first axial locking members 14 to prevent the axial
withdrawal of the various elements that form the device 10.
[0069] Between the shoulder 30 and the base body 11 the flange 190 of the possible flanged
bush or washer 19 is arranged.
[0070] The second axial locking members 16 comprise at least one dowel 31 (headless screw
with conical tip) engaged in a radial threaded through hole 32 formed in the bush
13 and, in particular, in the second end segment 13b thereof so as to be able to be
accessible from the outside during the mounting steps.
[0071] However, this does not rule out alternative embodiments of the second axial locking
members 16.
[0072] The snap-stop means 15 make it possible to removably stop the bush 13, and with it
the pin 102 and thus the main body 101 of the handle 100, in different possible positions
that the handle 100 can take up in use: open, closed and/or overturned.
[0073] The snap-stop means 15 comprise:
- a plurality of notches 33, which are formed on the outer lateral surface of the bush
13 (at its first end segment 13a) or in a collar 34 fitted onto the bush 13 (at its
first end segment 13a) and that are distributed along a circumference concentric to
the rotation axis R, and
- at least one pair of projections 35, which cooperate with the notches 33 and which
are housed in the base body 11 in a mobile manner between an engagement position with
the notches 33, so as to stop the rotation of the bush 13 and with it of the pin 102,
and a disengagement position with the notches 33, so as to allow the rotation of the
bush 13 and with it of the pin 102, in contrast to elastic thrusting means 36.
[0074] The notches 33 are distributed at an angular distance apart (90°) corresponding to
the different positions that the handle 100 can take up in use: open, closed and/or
overturned.
[0075] In the embodiment shown in the attached figures, the notches 33 consist of nicks
formed along the perimeter edge of a collar 34 that is fitted (for example by interference)
on the first end segment 13a of the bush 13 and that is arranged between the base
body 11 and the stop ring 29.
[0076] The projections 35 consist of balls that are pushed against the collar 34 by elastic
thrusting means 36 consisting of springs arranged between each ball and the base body
11.
[0077] The balls are in rolling contact along a circular crown of the collar 34 and, pushed
by the elastic thrusting means 36, engage with the notches 33, locking the collar
34, and with it the bush 13, in the relative angular position.
[0078] This does not rule out alternative embodiments of the snap-stop means 15: thus for
example the notches 33 could be formed on the bush 13, the elastic thrusting means
could act in the radial direction and could have a different configuration from the
one depicted.
[0079] The operation of the device 10 according to the present invention can be immediately
understood by those skilled in the art in light of the description given above and
the attached figures.
[0080] As already stated above, the various elements that form the device 10 are assembled
so as to form a single assembly that, as such, is provided as an accessory for windows
and doors for mounting handles 100.
[0081] In assembled configuration, the device 10 (without the respective covering element
20) is as shown in figures 2 to 5 and 8 to 12, in which the pin 102 is also shown
that, in itself, is not part of the device 10.
[0082] Figures 7a to 7f schematically show the mounting steps of a handle 100 on the profile
200 of a leaf by means of a device 10 according to the first embodiment shown in figures
1 to 6, 6A.
[0083] The leaf, or rather the profile 200 that forms a side of the leaf, has a recess 201,
in which a moving device 300 of the type described above is housed, and a wall 202
in which, at the recess 201, a slot 203 is formed; the rotating element 301 of the
moving device 300 is accessible through the slot 203.
[0084] Advantageously, the slot 203 can be of a shape and size substantially corresponding
to those of the shaped protuberance 17 that projects from the first face 11a of the
base body 11.
[0085] The device 10 is arranged, by itself (i.e. without handle 100) on the outer surface
of the wall 202 at the slot 203 so that the rotation axis R is substantially orthogonal
to the wall 202 and coaxial to the axis of the rotating element 301.
[0086] The first face 11a of the base body 11 rests on the wall 202.
[0087] The device 10 thus arranged is then fixed to the wall 202 by means of the connection
members 12.
[0088] In this case, the clamping plates 22 are inserted below the wall 202 and, by means
of the respective screws 23, are brought towards the base body 11 so as to clamp the
wall 202 against it.
[0089] After having fixed the device 10 to the wall 202, only the pin 102 is inserted in
the through hole 130 of the bush 13.
[0090] The pin 102 is inserted in the through hole 130 so that its first axial end segment
102a penetrates in the recess 201 and engages for at least one segment in the rotating
element 301.
[0091] The second axial end segment 102b of the pin 102 projects from the device 10 on the
opposite side with respect to the wall 202.
[0092] The intermediate axial segment 102c of the pin 102 makes a prismatic coupling with
a corresponding portion of the through hole 130 of the bush 13.
[0093] The pin 102 thus rotates as a unit with the bush 13.
[0094] After having adjusted the axial position of the pin 102 with respect to the wall
202 and to the moving device 300, the axial position of the pin 102 with respect to
the device 10 (with respect to the bush 13) is fixed by means of the second axial
locking members 16.
[0095] In the case depicted, the dowel 31 is screwed in the hole 32 until it interferes
with the pin 102.
[0096] Before or after the pin 102 is mounted it is possible to apply the covering element
20 on the base body 11.
[0097] After having mounted the pin 102, the main body 101 of the handle 100 is mounted
on it, or rather on the second axial end segment 102b thereof.
[0098] The mounting takes place by means of couplings and/or connection members configured
to make a rigid, complete and removable connection between the pin 102 and the main
body 101 and of the
per se known type.
[0099] The second embodiment shown in figures 8 to 13a-13d differs from the first solely
for the connection members 12 that, in this case, comprise screws 28.
[0100] The mounting takes place in a totally similar way to that described above with reference
to the first embodiment, with the difference that in this case the wall 202 also has
holes 204 able to be crossed by the screws 28, which engage in corresponding holes
formed in the body of the moving device 300.
[0101] The device 10 is fixed to the wall 202 by screwing the screws 28 in the respective
holes.
[0102] Otherwise the mounting steps, as can be clearly seen from the attached figures, are
totally analogous to those described above.
[0103] The device for mounting a handle to a leaf of a door or window according to the present
invention has the advantage of allowing a handle to be mounted at a door or window
leaf irrespective of the type of moving device that the leaf is equipped with and/or
the type of profile that forms the side of the leaf, be it made of aluminium, plastics
or even wood and of even small thicknesses.
[0104] The device according to the present invention makes it possible to mount handles
of the type without its own base, ensuring stable and secure mounting thereof.
[0105] The device according to the present invention makes it possible to mount handles
of the type without its own base, ensuring the positioning thereof in the different
use positions (open, closed and/or folded away). The device according to the present
invention, indeed, incorporates inside it removable stop means of the bush and, therefore,
with it of the handle pin in the different angular positions corresponding to the
different use positions.
[0106] The device according to the present invention makes it possible to mount handles
of the type without its own base with a limited number of operations able to be carried
out in a quick and simple manner.
[0107] The device for mounting a handle to a leaf of a door or window, thus conceived, can
undergo numerous modifications and variants, all within the scope of the invention;
moreover, all of the details can be replaced by technically equivalent elements. In
practice, the materials used, as well as the dimensions, can be whatever according
to the technical requirements.
1. Device (10) for mounting a handle (100) on a leaf of a door or window, wherein said
handle (100) comprises a main body (101) defining a handgrip and a pin (102) having
polygonal cross section engageable with a moving device (300) for moving opening and
closing members of said door or window, wherein said moving device (300) is housed
in a recess (201) of said leaf and is controlled by said pin (102),
characterised in that it comprises:
