Description

[0001] The invention relates to a recreational vehicle, in particular a mobile home or a caravan, as well as a sliding door and a handle and / or locking device for a sliding door.

[0002] In UV-resistant furniture construction, push-lock locks can be used for swing doors or drawers. Drawers with snap locks that are activated by pressure can also be used in furniture construction. Sliding doors can also be designed with push-locks or push-operated locks.

[0003] The object of the invention is to provide a handle and / or locking device for a sliding door of recreational vehicles, a sliding door for a recreational vehicle and a recreational vehicle, which enable an improved design and functioning.

[0004] The object is achieved by a handle and / or locking device having the features of independent patent claim 1, by a sliding door having the features of patent claim 9, and by a recreational vehicle having the feature of patent claim 10. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

[0005] The object is achieved by a handle and / or locking device for a sliding door of recreational vehicles, in particular mobile homes or caravans, with a handle shell, an actuating element and a mounting plate, wherein the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the handle shell relative to the handle shell, wherein the actuating element is pivotally mounted between the handle shell and the mounting plate and wherein the handle shell has a recess which enables actuation of the actuating element.

[0006] Furthermore, the object is achieved by a sliding door for a recreational vehicle, in particular a mobile home or caravan, comprising a door leaf having a recess and a handle and / or locking device of this type, which is inserted into the recess of the door leaf and connected to the door leaf. Furthermore, the object is achieved by a recreational vehicle, in particular a mobile home or caravan, comprising at least one such sliding door.

[0007] Specifically, a symmetrically designed lock or handle for a sliding door can be realized using the handle and / or locking device. A very flat design is possible, thus opening up a field of application for such cases. The handle and / or locking device can be designed so that it can be used on both the left and right. Furthermore, a simple structure without complex mechanics can be realized. Furthermore, a low weight can be achieved. This makes the handle and / or locking device particularly suitable for lightweight construction, in particular interior fittings made of lightweight panels, for a recreational vehicle. Furthermore, a small number of parts can be realized. Furthermore, simple assembly is possible.

[0008] In an advantageous embodiment, one or more components of the handle and / or locking device can be designed as injection-molded parts. A door leaf to which the handle and / or locking device is mounted can be constructed from a lightweight panel. This can enable low costs and simple assembly.

[0009] It is advantageous that the handle shell has an outwardly opening recess, and that the actuating element extends through the recess in the handle shell into the recess of the handle shell, at least when not actuated. This allows for convenient operation by a user. Furthermore, a particularly flat design can be realized.

[0010] It is advantageous for the actuating element to be pivotably mounted on a pin provided on the handle shell. Specifically, the actuating element can be pivotably mounted on a pin formed on the handle shell. This results in a design with a small number of components. The pin can, in particular, be formed on a handle shell designed as an injection-molded part.

[0011] It is advantageous that the mounting plate is connected, in particular screwed, to the grip shell via the grip shell's pin. This allows the pin to also serve as a fastening element for the mounting plate.

[0012] It is advantageous to provide at least one spring element, which is connected on one side to the handle shell and on the other side to the actuating element, and that the spring element is preloaded such that the unactuated actuating element is held in the unactuated position. Specifically, locking can be ensured in the unactuated position. The locking can then be released by actuating the actuating element against the spring force.

[0013] It is advantageous for the spring element to be connected to a pin provided, in particular formed, on the handle shell. This pin can also be used to attach the mounting plate to the handle shell, in particular by screwing. The pin can be molded onto the handle shell in a corresponding manner. Specifically, the handle shell can be designed as an injection-molded part, with the pin also molded onto the handle shell.

[0014] It is advantageous that a recess is provided on the mounting plate, in which a counterholder is arranged when the sliding door is closed, and that a locking piece, in particular a locking lug, of the actuating element engages with the counterholder when the sliding door is closed. The counterholder can be attached, for example, to a piece of furniture, in particular to a profile of the furniture. This enables simple installation. Furthermore, universal applicability is achieved.

[0015] It is advantageous that the locking piece is designed so that when the sliding door is closed, the actuating element can be pivoted back and forth so that the locking piece engages with the counter-holder in the closed state. This allows for self-locking when the sliding door is closed.

[0016] In a preferred application, the sliding door is part of a piece of furniture. In this case, one or more sliding doors can be provided on a piece of furniture.

[0017] Depending on the design, one or more of the following features and advantages can be realized. In particular, a symmetrically designed lock or a symmetrically designed handle for a sliding door can be realized using the handle and / or locking device. The handle and / or locking device can preferably be installed in just a few simple steps. A large and flat mounting plate allows for a solid installation even with thin plates. Furthermore, the actuating element can preferably also be mounted upside down on the handle shell, so that a left-hand or right-hand version can be created. The actuating element can be designed as a handle element.

[0018] When locking, the actuating element can rotate upwards when closing and then snap into the counter-holder.

[0019] Furthermore, a very simple design for sliding doors made of very flat and lightweight materials is possible. For example, a sliding door with a thickness of 10 mm can be realized. The force flow of the operating element (handle) can be optimally transmitted to the sliding door through the large, flat mounting plate. This ensures reliable operation even when using the smallest screws for connection. Furthermore, intuitive opening and closing can be enabled.

[0020] Pre-assembly of the module can be enabled, preferably with fewer steps. Replacing the sliding door or the handle and / or locking device can be achieved in just a few steps. Furthermore, cost-effective series production can be realized.

[0021] The spring element can be considered an optional component. If necessary, a spring-loaded plastic extension of the actuating element can be provided instead of a spring element. This allows the handle and / or locking device to be implemented without a spring element. This further reduces the number of components and simplifies assembly.

[0022] Further advantages and details of the invention are explained in more detail with reference to the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the schematic figures. Herein: Fig. 1 a handle and / or locking device during assembly according to a first application for a left sliding door in a schematic, spatial representation; Fig. 2 which in Fig. 1 shows a handle and / or locking device for a further application corresponding to a right-hand sliding door; Fig. 3 which in Fig. 1 shows a handle and / or locking device during assembly in an exploded view, wherein a mounting plate is mounted; Fig. 4 which in Fig. 3 shows a handle and / or locking device with a door leaf to explain the design of a sliding door; Fig. 5 a piece of furniture with a sliding door in an excerpted, spatial, schematic representation; Fig. 6 a detail of the Fig. 5 shown furniture of the recreational vehicle when closing and Fig. 7 that in Fig. 6 shows a detail of the furniture with the sliding door closed.

[0023] Fig. 1 shows a handle and / or locking device 1 for a sliding door 2 ( Fig. 5) of recreational vehicles 3 in an excerpted, schematic, spatial representation according to an exemplary embodiment. A recreational vehicle 3 can be designed in particular as a mobile home or caravan. The handle and / or locking device 1 and the sliding door 2 are particularly suitable for such recreational vehicles 3.

[0024] The handle and / or locking device 1 comprises a handle shell 4 and an actuating element 5. The actuating element 5 can preferably be mounted differently, whereby Fig. 1 shows a possible assembly.

[0025] In the following, the design of the handle and / or locking device 1 is also described with reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 further described.

[0026] Fig. 2 shows the Fig. 1, wherein the actuating element 5 is mounted in a certain way the other way round. For example, the assembly can be carried out according to the Fig. 1 for a left sliding door 2, while the Fig. 2 shown assembly for a right sliding door 2.

[0027] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 3, the handle and / or locking device 1 also has a mounting plate 6. The mounting plate 6 is connected to the handle shell 4, so that the handle shell 4 and the mounting plate 6 are mounted in a fixed position relative to one another. The actuating element 5 is pivotally mounted between the handle shell 4 and the mounting plate 6. The handle shell 4 has a recess 7 into which the actuating element 5 is partially inserted. The recess 7 thus ensures that the actuating element 5 can be actuated by a user.

[0028] In this embodiment, the handle shell 4 has an outwardly open grip recess 8, wherein the actuating element 5 extends through the recess 7 of the handle shell 4 into the grip recess 8 of the handle shell 4. The actuating element 5 can serve as a handle. The handle shell 4 and the actuating element 5 are designed such that a symmetrical assembly according to the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 mounting positions shown is possible.

[0029] The actuating element 5 is pivotally mounted on a pin 9 of the handle shell 4. In this embodiment, one of two pins 9 can be selected to enable installation via the left or right sliding door 2.

[0030] Furthermore, the mounting plate 6 is connected to the handle shell 4 via the pins 9 of the handle shell 4. Screws 10 can be screwed into the pins 9, so that a connection is made by screwing.

[0031] In addition, a spring element 15 is provided, which is connected on the one hand to the handle shell 4 and on the other hand to the actuating element 5. The spring element 15 is pre-tensioned during assembly. As a result, the spring element 15 holds the actuating element 15 in a position that enables locking when the sliding door 2 is closed, as can also be seen from the Fig. 5 to 7. For this purpose, the mounting plate 6 has a recess 16.

[0032] Fig. 4 shows a door leaf 17 and the handle and / or locking device 1 for producing a sliding door 2. The door leaf 17 has a recess 18 into which the handle and / or locking device 1 is inserted according to the arrow 14.

[0033] Fig. 5 to 7 show a piece of furniture 19 of the recreational vehicle 3 in an excerpted, schematic representation. Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 Details of the Fig. 5 when the sliding door 2 is closed.

[0034] As it is in Fig. 3, the spring element 15 is connected to a pin 9. Here, the actuating element 5 is in the position shown in the Fig. 3 shown position. The furniture 19 has a counter-holder 20. The actuating element 5 has a locking piece 21, which, as in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, interacts with the counterholder 20.

[0035] During the closing movement, the spring element 15 is further tensioned by pivoting the actuating element 5. The locking piece 21 is raised slightly as indicated by arrow 25. The counter-holder 20 then moves into the recess 16.

[0036] The locking piece 21 is designed as a locking lug 21, so that the locking piece 21 is lifted by the counter-holder 20. The locking piece 21 then engages the counter-holder 20. The sliding door 2 is then locked.

[0037] To lift the locking piece 21, a projection 30 of the counterholder 20 can be provided with a nose flank 31 ( Fig. 1) work together.

[0038] The invention is not limited to the described embodiments.
