Ergonomic note holder for door handles

Abstract

The ergonomic notepad consists of a ring-shaped, soft plastic clip with two holes in the center of the bottom. These holes are fitted with an adjustable screw, allowing the inner diameter of the clip clamping system to be reduced for attachment to door handles with a diameter of 12 mm or larger.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an adjustable note holder for door handles, which is attached to the inside side of the door handle, i.e. the door lever.

[0002] Previously known note holders, such as DE 20 2011 001 923 U1 (Universal Note Holder), consist of a soft plastic clip clamp with a rod. At the top is a slot into which a letter or note can be inserted. However, this model has the disadvantage of not providing a stable hold for notes and can only accommodate a limited number of notes. Furthermore, this clip clamp can only be attached to door handles with a diameter of 19 to 20 mm. It does not provide sufficient grip on smaller diameters.

[0003] Another well-known model, DE20 2013 004 625 U1, uses a clip clamp with a metal alligator clip. However, this requires the use of both fingers, thumb and forefinger, to open the clip, which many people find difficult. Again, its document-holding capacity is limited, and it can only be attached to door handles with a diameter of 19 to 20 mm. It does not provide sufficient grip on smaller diameters.

[0004] A third known variant, DE 20 2015 004 572 U1, consists of a plastic clip-on clamp that attaches to the door handle and is connected to metal parts and / or a magnet. This model also suffers from the disadvantage of insufficient note retention and limited capacity. As with the previously mentioned models, this clip-on clamp can only be attached to door handles with a diameter of 19 to 20 mm. It does not provide sufficient grip on smaller diameters.

[0005] The invention comprises an adjustable clip clamp for memo holders on door handles. This clamp consists of a ring-shaped, soft plastic, preferably polyoxymethylene (POM) or polyacetal. At the lower end of the clip clamp are two holes with a screw. By tightening the screw, the inner diameter of the clip clamp can be reduced so that it can be attached to door handles with a small diameter. Thus, the clip clamp can be attached to door handles with a diameter of 12 mm or more.

[0006] Furthermore, a novel special clamp is proposed, featuring a hemispherical ball on one side facing the door. This hemispherical ball allows the clamp to grip the door or the lock rosette. This makes it possible to operate the clamp with just one finger or by simply pressing, thus simplifying its use. This ergonomic memo holder is attached to the inside of the door, either on the door handle or by hand, to hold important documents and ensure they are not forgotten before leaving the house.

[0007] The Fig. The illustration shows an ergonomic memo holder with a clip-type clamp. The clamp has a ring-shaped, soft plastic body with an inner diameter of 19 mm and an outer width of 22 mm. A clothespin-shaped clip is attached to the top of the clamp. This clip is 30 mm wide at the top, tapering to 10 mm at the bottom, and 60 mm high. Inside the clip are a support and a spring. A 15 mm long, hook-shaped bar is attached to the side of the clip for hanging keys or other items. Two holes and a locking screw are located at the bottom of the clamp. Fig. Figure 1: This diagram shows an ergonomic memo holder (1) with a clip clamp (2) that encloses a ring-shaped body made of soft plastic. The clip clamp (2) has an inner diameter (D) of 19 mm, an outer width (D2) of 22 mm, and a height of 30 mm. A special bracket (3) is attached to the top of the clip clamp (2). The special bracket (3) is 30 mm wide at the top, tapering to 10 mm at the bottom, and 60 mm high. Inside the bracket (3) are a support (7) and a spring (8). A hook-shaped rod (4), 15 mm long, is located to the side of the bracket (3) for hanging keys or other items. At the bottom of the clip clamp (2) are two holes (8) and a locking screw (11). Fig. 2: This diagram shows an ergonomic note holder (1) similar to the one in Fig. 1, but with a special clamp (3) which is attached to a screwed-on bracket (5) by two screws (5.1) on the clip clamp (2). A hook-shaped rod (4) is located on the side of the clamp. Inside the clamp are two supports (7) and a spring (6). There is also a hemispherical ball (12) on the outer side, which serves as a support when the clamp (3) is actuated. At the bottom is a clip clamp (2) with the adjusting screw (11). Fig. 3: This diagram shows the ergonomic note holder (1) made of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, which is attached to a door handle (9). The hemispherical ball (6) rests against the rosette of the door lock.
