Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, the connecting member of the handle of the conventional sliding door has a structure in which split pieces attached to each handle are combined. And by combining each split piece, each handle is fixed to the sliding door. That is, the connecting member has a split structure and the structure is complicated. Also, in order to join the split pieces fixed to the individual handles, alignment of the split pieces is necessary.

[0005] In Patent Document 1, although the structure of the connecting member could be simplified, it had an engaging portion that engaged with the connecting member, and had a first engaged portion that engaged with the engaging portion and a second engaged portion that engaged with the engaging portion of the other handle body, etc., resulting in a large number of parts and a remaining complex structure. The engaging portion was attached to the flange of the handle body. In order to attach the joint portion to the upper and lower parts of the flange on the back surface of the handle body, the flange of the handle body could not be made smaller, leaving the problem of not being able to further simplify the handle body. The object of the present invention is to provide a handle for a sliding door that makes the handle more compact and can be connected without problems even when the handle is made compact.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] A first aspect of the present invention for solving the above problems is a handle for a sliding door having a pair of handle bodies, wherein the pair of handle bodies are connected, and having a plurality of engaging pieces protruding from the back side of the handle body in the direction of the opposing handle body, the engaging pieces having engaging portions, and the engaging portions of the engaging pieces provided on one handle body and the engaging portions of the engaging pieces provided on the other handle body engage to connect the pair of handle bodies.

[0007] In this aspect, in a handle for a sliding door having a pair of handle bodies, wherein the pair of handle bodies are connected, and having a plurality of engaging pieces protruding from the back side of the handle body in the direction of the opposing handle body, the engaging pieces having engaging portions, and the engaging portions of the engaging pieces provided on one handle body and the engaging portions of the engaging pieces provided on the other handle body engage to connect the pair of handle bodies. Therefore, at least the opposing engaging portions engage to connect the handle bodies, so the entire back side of the handle body can be used for connection, eliminating the need to provide a joint portion on the flange, enabling the flange to be made smaller, and ultimately leading to the compactification of the handle body.

[0008] In this aspect, at least one of the protruding pieces is an outward engaging piece provided with the engaging portion on the outer side surface of the engaging piece, at least one of the engaging pieces is an inward engaging piece provided with the engaging portion on the inner side surface of the engaging piece, and the outward engaging piece and the inward engaging piece are sliding door handles that engage with each other.

[0009] According to this embodiment, since at least one of the protruding pieces is an outward engaging piece provided with the engaging portion on the outer side surface of the engaging piece, at least one of the engaging pieces is an inward engaging piece provided with the engaging portion on the inner side surface of the engaging piece, and the outward engaging piece and the inward engaging piece are sliding door handles that engage with each other, the handle can be firmly engaged even when compacted.

[0010] In this aspect, on one handle body, two protruding pieces are arranged in a pair in the width direction, and both of the paired protruding pieces are outward engaging pieces. On the other handle body, two protruding pieces are arranged in a pair in the width direction, and both of the paired protruding pieces are inward engaging pieces, which is a sliding door handle.

[0011] According to this aspect, on one handle body, two protruding pieces are arranged in a pair in the width direction, and both of the paired protruding pieces are outward engaging pieces. On the other handle body, two protruding pieces are arranged in a pair in the width direction, and both of the paired protruding pieces are inward engaging pieces. Therefore, when engaging, it is possible to engage without shifting the position of the protruding pieces.

[0012] In this aspect, the engaging portion is a sliding door handle in which a plurality of minute irregularities are arranged in the approaching / separating direction of the pair of handle bodies.

[0013] Since the engaging portion is a sliding door handle in which a plurality of minute irregularities are arranged in the approaching / separating direction of the pair of handle bodies, the plurality of minute irregularities can firmly connect. Also, even when a force is applied to separate the connecting member in a direction parallel to the direction in which the handle bodies face each other by an unintended external force, the engaged minute irregular shape serves as a resistance, and there is little concern that the engagement of the connecting member will become disengaged.

[0014] In this embodiment, the sliding door handle has a connecting member, and the connecting member is attached to the back side of the handle body, and the engaging piece is provided on the connecting member.

[0015] According to this embodiment, since the sliding door handle has a connecting member, the connecting member is attached to the back side of the handle body, and the engaging piece is provided on the connecting member, the connecting member is not attached to the flange on the back side of the handle body, so the flange can be made smaller, and the handle body can also be made more compact, so it looks good in appearance.

[0016] This embodiment is a sliding door handle provided with a contact member that prevents at least the inward engaging piece from being displaced to the outside of the handle body.

[0017] When engaging, if the inward engaging piece is displaced so as to escape from the outward engaging piece, the engaging force will weaken. When a force that separates the connecting member is applied by an unintended external force, it will come off even with a small force. According to this embodiment, since it is a sliding door handle provided with a contact member that prevents at least the inward engaging piece from being displaced to the outside of the handle body, the displacement is prevented, and the connecting member will not come off even when a force that separates the connecting member is applied.

[0018] This embodiment is a sliding door handle having an opening into which the tip side of the outward engaging piece or the inward engaging piece enters, and a part of the opening functions as the contact member.

[0019] According to this embodiment, since there is an opening into which the tip side of the outward engaging piece or the inward engaging piece enters, and a part of the opening functions as the contact member, the number of parts is reduced compared to the case where the contact member is a separate part.

[0020] This embodiment is a sliding door handle in which the minute unevenness has rigidity.

[0021] According to the present embodiment, since the minute unevenness has rigidity, when the unevenness engages as a joint portion, it engages firmly, and even if a force is applied to separate the connecting member, the connecting member will not come off.

[0022] In the present embodiment, the handle body has a maintenance portion that is a recess when viewed from the front side. The maintenance portion has a bottom plate, and the connecting member is on the back side of the maintenance portion and is a sliding door handle that engages with and is fixed to the bottom plate.

[0023] According to the present embodiment, the handle body has a maintenance portion that is a recess when viewed from the front side. The maintenance portion has a bottom plate, and the connecting member is on the back side of the maintenance portion and is a sliding door handle that engages with and is fixed to the bottom plate. Therefore, the connecting member is not in a conspicuous position, and the appearance looks better.

Effects of the Invention

[0024] The sliding door handle of the present invention connects a pair of handle bodies with only at least two engaging pieces, so the structure is simple. Also, by making the flange portion of the sliding door smaller, the sliding door handle can be made more compact and looks better in terms of design.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0026] Hereinafter, it will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in Fig. 1(a), a sliding door D is provided with a handle 1 (handle for sliding door) for opening and closing the sliding door D. In Fig. 1(a), the entire sliding door D is not depicted, and only the part where the handle 1 is provided is enlarged and depicted. As shown in Fig. 1(b), the sliding door D is provided with a hole E. The hole E penetrates the sliding door D.

[0027] As shown in Fig. 1(b), the handle 1 is formed by connecting a pair of handle bodies 2a and 2b with connecting members 3a and 3b.

[0028] The handle bodies 2a and 2b have the same structure, and the same reference numerals are given to the same constituent parts. The handle bodies 2a and 2b are made of a rigid material and have a maintenance part 21 and a flange 22.

[0029] The access part 21 is a recessed part when viewed from the front side, and is a part having a box shape with a bottom and one side open. That is, an upper wall 21a is provided above the access part 21, and a lower wall 21b is provided below it. Further, the upper wall 21a and the lower wall 21b are connected by side walls 21c, 21d. The upper wall 21a, the lower wall 21b, the side walls 21c, 21d are connected in an annular shape (square annular shape). On one side of the annularly connected upper wall 21a, lower wall 21b, side walls 21c, 21d, a bottom plate 20 intersecting each of the upper wall 21a, lower wall 21b, side walls 21c, 21d is provided.

[0030] The flange 22 is a plate-like part that is continuous with the opening of the access part 21 and extends outward. The flange 22 is disposed around the hole E of the sliding door D. The vertical and horizontal widths of the flange 22 are each 5 mm or less.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 2, the handle body has an upper wall 21a, a lower wall 21b, side walls 21c, 21d that are connected in an annular shape, and an opening 60 that penetrates the inside surrounded by the walls. Further, the handle body has a protrusion 55 that fits into the recess 56 of the bottom plate 20.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 9, the handle 1 is formed by connecting the handle bodies 2a, 2b with the connecting members 3a, 3b and then integrated, and is arranged on the sliding door. The handle bodies 2a, 2b have a front side 61 that performs the sliding door operation and a back side 62 opposite to the front side 61, and the connecting members 3a, 3b are arranged on the back side 62 of the handle bodies 2a, 2b.

[0033] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the bottom plate 20. The bottom plate 20 is a substantially rectangular flat plate that constitutes the bottom of the recess of the handle in a state where the handle bodies are connected. The bottom plate 20 has a recess 56 that fits and is caulked with the protrusion 55 of the handle body.

[0034] The connecting members 3a, 3b are made of a resin such as Duracon, are located on the back side 62 of the access part 21, and are engaged and fixed with the bottom plate 20.

[0035] As shown in FIGS. 1, 4, and 5, the one connecting member 3a is attached to the back side 62a of the handle body 2a, and has four engaging pieces protruding from the back side 62a of the handle body 2a in the direction of the opposing handle body 2b. Each of the engaging pieces has rigidity on the outer side surface 73, and is an outward engaging piece 32a having a plurality of engaging portions 72 in which jagged minute irregularities 76a are arranged in the approaching / separating direction G of the pair of handle bodies 2a and 2b. Therefore, the outer side surface 73 of the outward engaging piece 32a is a surface with a large friction. And the outward engaging pieces 32a and 33a, and the outward engaging pieces 34a and 35a are arranged in pairs in the width direction of the connecting member 3a, respectively.

[0036] Also, the other connecting member 3b is attached to the back side 62b of the handle body 2b, and has four engaging pieces protruding from the back side 62b of the handle body 2b in the direction of the opposing handle body 2a. The engaging pieces have rigidity on the inner side surface 74, and are inward engaging pieces 32b having a plurality of engaging portions 75 in which jagged minute irregularities 76b are arranged in the approaching / separating direction G of the pair of handle bodies 2a and 2b. Therefore, the inner side surface of the inward engaging piece 32b is a surface with a large friction. And the inward engaging pieces 32b and 33b, and the inward engaging pieces 34b and 35b are arranged in pairs in the width direction of the connecting member 3b, respectively.

[0037] FIG. 6 is a top view of the connecting members 3a and 3b joined together. When the minute irregularities 76a and 76b are joined and an external force not intended in the separating direction G is applied to the irregularities to try to pull them apart, the resistance to separation due to the irregularities is large and it becomes difficult to separate.

[0038] The connecting member 3a is provided with a pressing member 80 for preventing the inward engaging pieces 32b, 33b, 34b, and 35b from being displaced to the outside of the handle body 2a.

[0039] The contact member 80 is formed by using a part of an opening 83 provided so that the tip side 81 of the inward engaging piece 32b can enter as the contact member 80. The contact member 80 is similarly provided for other openings. Since a part of the opening 83 is used as the contact member, the number of parts does not increase. Further, even when a force is applied to separate the connecting members 3a and 3b, the displacement is prevented by the presence of the contact member 80, so that the inward engaging piece 32b does not escape from the separating force, and the connecting members 3a and 3b are less likely to separate.

[0040] The connecting member 3b has the same structure as the connecting member 3a. The same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicate descriptions are omitted.

[0041] Next, the procedure for attaching the handle 1 to the sliding door D will be described. As shown in FIGS. 7(a) and 7(b), one connecting member 3a is inserted into the bottom plate 20a. At this time, the longitudinal center of the connecting member 3a and the longitudinal center of the bottom plate 20a are made to substantially coincide. Next, as shown in FIG. 7(c), the bottom plate 20a integrated with the connecting member 3a is assembled to the handle body 2a. At this time, the ridge 55 of the handle body 2a and the recess 56 of the bottom plate 20a are fitted together. Then, the fitted ridge 55 and recess 56 are fixed by caulking or the like, whereby the handle body 2a is assembled. The handle body 2b is assembled in the same manner as shown in FIGS. 8(a) to 8(c).

[0042] The assembled handle bodies 2a and 2b are connected by the connecting members 3a and 3b. Then, as shown in FIGS. 6, 9(a) and 9(b), the four outward engaging pieces 32a to 35a of the connecting member 3a engage with the four inward engaging pieces 32b to 35b at the corresponding positions of the connecting member 3b. At that time, the minute unevenness 76b provided on the inner side surface of the inward engaging piece 32b and the minute unevenness 76a provided on the outer side surface of the outward engaging piece 32a engage with each other, so that the handle body 2a and the handle body 2b are firmly connected to form the handle 1. Then, the handle 1 is joined into the sliding door, and the sliding door is completed.

[0043] In the sliding door of this embodiment, the minute unevenness of the outward engaging piece of the connecting member engages with the minute unevenness of the inward engaging piece, and a pressing member is provided so that the inward engaging piece does not displace to the outside of the handle main body, whereby the handle main bodies can be firmly connected to each other. Further, since the connecting member is not provided on the flange of the handle main body, the width of the flange of the flange handle main body can be made 5 mm or less both vertically and horizontally, so that the handle main body can be made compact and the appearance can be improved aesthetically.

[0044] In addition, even when there is no space for mounting the connecting member on the flange of the handle main body, the present invention enables the connecting member to be connected by mounting the connecting member on the back surface.

[0045] In this embodiment, a connecting member is provided and engaging pieces are provided on the connecting member, but the bottom plate and the connecting member may be integrally formed, or engaging pieces may be directly provided on the back surface of the bottom plate.
