Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] In the above Patent Document 1, since the handle main bodies 5 and 5' and the bottom plates 6 and 6' are separate bodies, and the engaging pieces 7 and 8 assembled to the handle main body 5 and the engaging pieces 11 and 12 assembled to the handle main body 5' have different shapes, the number of components constituting the handle is large, which inevitably increases the manufacturing cost, such as complicating the assembly work. Also, in Cited Document 1, although it is possible to position the two handle main bodies 5 and 5' in the vertical direction, there is concern that the configuration for positioning in the horizontal direction is insufficient.

[0006] In the above Patent Document 2, since the relative positions of the front and rear handle main bodies 11 are positioned in the vertical direction by the end connection means 50 and in the horizontal direction by the connecting member 30, the number of components constituting the handle and the labor for assembly increase, inevitably increasing the manufacturing cost.

[0007] In view of such circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a handle for a sliding door that can reduce the manufacturing cost and can be attached in a state where it is relatively easily positioned vertically and horizontally with respect to the front opening and the rear opening of the vertical long hole of the sliding door.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0008] The present invention relates to a sliding door handle that is attached to the front opening and is attached upside down and connected to the rear opening of the vertically long hole. It has a configuration combining a handle body and a connecting plate. The handle body includes a bottomed cylindrical body portion that is fitted into the vertically long hole, and a flange that protrudes radially outward from the outer periphery of the opening of this body portion. The connecting plate is attached so that the front surface is overlapped with the outer surface of the bottom wall of the body portion. On the left and right vertically long outer surfaces of the peripheral wall of the body portion and the left and right long sides of the connecting plate, a locking portion and a locked portion for attaching the connecting plate to the body portion are provided separately. The connecting plate is provided with a positioning portion for positioning the sliding door handle attached to the front opening and the sliding door handle attached to the rear opening in the left-right direction, a first stopper for preventing displacement of the other sliding door handle in either the upper or lower direction with respect to one sliding door handle, and a second stopper for preventing displacement of the other sliding door handle in either the upper or lower direction with respect to one sliding door handle.

[0009] In the above configuration, since the sliding door handles are both of a two-piece structure (a combined structure of a handle body and a connecting plate), compared with the conventional example, the number of parts can be reduced and the combination work can be simplified, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

[0010] Moreover, in the sliding door handle of the present invention, when attaching the front and rear sliding door handles to the vertically long hole of the sliding door, the front and rear sliding door handles can be attached in a state where they are positioned vertically and horizontally with a relatively simple operation of just pushing in the front and rear sliding door handles. Therefore, the attachment work can be performed quickly regardless of the skill level of the operator.

[0011] Also, for the sliding door handle attached to the front opening and the sliding door handle attached to the rear opening of the vertically long hole of the sliding door, they can have the same specifications. Therefore, compared with the case where the sliding door handle attached to the front opening and the sliding door handle attached to the rear opening have different specifications, the manufacturing line, inventory management, and on-site installation work can be simplified.

[0012] Incidentally, in the sliding door handle, a configuration can be adopted in which wedge-shaped protrusions that bite into the inner peripheral surface of the vertically long hole are provided at a plurality of circumferential positions on the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall.

[0013] In the above configuration, when the fitting state of the body portion of the handle body with respect to the vertically long hole of the sliding door is a loose fit or a just fit in order to simplify the fitting, when the body portion is inserted into the vertically long hole, the wedge-shaped protrusion bites into or crushes the inner peripheral surface of the vertically long hole, so that the fitting state becomes a tight fit. As a result, the body portion of the handle body can be mounted in the vertically long hole without rattling.

[0014] Further, in the sliding door handle, the locking portion is formed as protrusions provided on the upper and lower sides of the left and right vertically long outer surfaces of the body portion, and the locked portion is formed as a protruding piece provided on the left and right long sides of the connecting plate so as to protrude forward of the connecting plate and having a through hole that can engage with the protrusion.

[0015] In the above configuration, since the locking portion and the locked portion have relatively simple shapes, when the body portion having the locking portion is manufactured by, for example, resin molding, the shape of the molding die can be simplified, and when the connecting plate having the locked portion is manufactured by, for example, sheet metal processing, it is advantageous in suppressing an increase in the manufacturing cost.

[0016] Further, in the sliding door handle, the positioning portion includes a male side rib provided at an intermediate position in the vertical direction of the left and right long sides of the connecting plate so as to protrude rearward of the connecting plate in the upper half region of the connecting plate, and a female side rib provided at the lower half region of the left and right long sides of the connecting plate so as to protrude rearward of the connecting plate and overlapping the outer surfaces of the left and right male side ribs when the sliding door handle is mounted on the front opening and the sliding door handle is mounted upside down on the rear opening.

[0017] In the above configuration, since the male side rib and the female side rib as the positioning portions have relatively simple shapes, when manufacturing a connecting plate having the male side rib and the female side rib by, for example, sheet metal working, it is advantageous in suppressing an increase in the manufacturing cost.

[0018] Further, in the sliding door handle, the first stopper may be configured such that it protrudes rearward at a position above or below the center in the vertical direction on the rear surface of the connecting plate and is provided along the left - right direction, and is a center rib that overlaps with each other from below or above when the sliding door handle is attached to the front opening and the sliding door handle is attached upside - down to the rear opening.

[0019] In the above configuration, since the center rib as the first stopper has a relatively simple shape, when manufacturing a connecting plate having the center rib by, for example, sheet metal working, it is advantageous in suppressing an increase in the manufacturing cost.

[0020] Further, in the sliding door handle, an interference - avoiding portion having a shape into which the tip of the center rib can enter may be provided below or above the center rib on the connecting plate when the sliding door handle is attached to the front opening of the vertically - long hole and the sliding door handle is attached upside - down to the rear opening of the vertically - long hole.

[0021] In the above configuration, when the sliding door handle is attached to the front opening of the vertically - long hole and the sliding door handle is attached upside - down to the rear opening of the vertically - long hole, interference of the tips of the two center ribs with the rear surface of the front - and - rear connecting plates is avoided.

[0022] Further, in the sliding door handle, the interference - avoiding portion may be configured as a window that penetrates in the plate - thickness direction and has a shape into which the center rib can enter or a recessed portion that recesses in the plate - thickness direction.

[0023] In the above configuration, since the interference avoidance portion has a relatively simple shape such as the window or the recess, it is advantageous in suppressing an increase in the manufacturing cost when manufacturing a connecting plate having the window or the recess by, for example, sheet metal working.

[0024] Further, in the sliding door handle, the second stopper may include a male rib provided so as to protrude rearward on the upper or lower short side of the connecting plate, and a female rib provided so as to protrude rearward on the lower or upper short side of the connecting plate and overlapped with the upper or lower surface of the male rib when the sliding door handle is attached to the front opening and the sliding door handle is attached upside down to the rear opening.

[0025] In the above configuration, since the male rib and the female rib as the second stopper have a relatively simple shape, it is advantageous in suppressing an increase in the manufacturing cost when manufacturing a connecting plate having the male rib and the female rib by, for example, sheet metal working.

Advantages of the Invention

[0026] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a sliding door handle that can be mounted in a state where it is relatively easily positioned vertically and horizontally with respect to the front opening and the rear opening of the vertical long hole of the sliding door while reducing the manufacturing cost.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0028] Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 8. In the sliding door 1, a vertically elongated hole 11 is formed therethrough. Two sliding door handles 2 and 3 having exactly the same specifications are attached to the vertically elongated hole 11. Specifically, the sliding door handle 2 is attached from the front opening of the vertically elongated hole 11, and the sliding door handle 3 is attached upside down from the rear opening of the vertically elongated hole 11, but the two sliding door handles 2 and 3 are connected when the device is completed.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 3, one sliding door handle 2 has a two-piece structure combining a handle body 4 and a connecting plate 6, and the other sliding door handle 3 has a two-piece structure combining a handle body 5 and a connecting plate 7.

[0031] The handle bodies 4 and 5 are fitted into the vertically elongated hole 11 of the sliding door 1, and the handle bodies 4 and 5 are provided with body portions 41 and 51 and flanges 42 and 52.

[0032] The body portions 41 and 51 are formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape and are fitted into the vertically elongated hole 11. In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the body portions 41 and 51 is formed in an oval shape. The flanges 42 and 52 are provided so as to project radially outward from the outer periphery of the opening of the body portions 41 and 51.

[0033] The connecting plates 6 and 7 are attached so that the front surfaces are overlapped with the outer surfaces of the bottom walls of the body portions 41 and 51 of the handle bodies 4 and 5. In this embodiment, the connecting plates 6 and 7 are formed in an oval shape similar to the bottom walls of the body portions 41 and 51.

[0034] In order to attach the connecting plates 6 and 7 to the body portions 41 and 51 of the handle main bodies 4 and 5, the locking portions 43 and 53 of the handle main bodies 4 and 5 and the locked portions 61 and 71 of the connecting plates 6 and 7 are used.

[0035] The locking portions 43 and 53 are protrusions provided on the upper and lower sides of the left and right vertically long outer surfaces on the peripheral wall of the body portions 41 and 51 of the handle main bodies 4 and 5, respectively. The protrusions serving as the locking portions 43 and 53 are formed so as to slope downward obliquely from a position near the flanges 42 and 52 toward the bottom wall of the body portions 41 and 51 on the outer surface of the peripheral wall of the body portions 41 and 51.

[0036] The locked portions 61 and 71 are projecting pieces provided on the left and right long sides of the connecting plates 6 and 7 so as to project rearward of the connecting plates 6 and 7. Through holes 61a and 71a that can be engaged with the protrusions serving as the locking portions 43 and 53 are provided in the projecting pieces serving as the locked portions 61 and 71.

[0037] In addition, wedge-shaped protrusions 44 and 54 are provided at several circumferential positions on the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall of the body portions 41 and 51 of the handle main bodies 4 and 5.

[0038] The wedge-shaped protrusions 44 and 54 serve as anti-loosening means to prevent the handle main bodies 4 and 5 from easily coming out when the handle main bodies 4 and 5 are fitted into the vertically long holes 11 of the sliding door 1. That is, since the fitting state of the body portions 41 and 51 of the handle main bodies 4 and 5 with respect to the vertically long holes 11 of the sliding door 1 is set to a loose fit or a just fit, when the body portions 41 and 51 are fitted into the vertically long holes 11, the wedge-shaped protrusions 44 and 54 bite into or are crushed against the inner peripheral surface of the vertically long holes 11, so that the fitting state becomes a tight fit.

[0039] The connecting plates 6 and 7 are provided with male side ribs 62 and 72 and female side ribs 63 and 73 as positioning portions, center ribs 64 and 74 as first stoppers, and male ribs 65 and 75 and female ribs 66 and 76 as second stoppers.

[0040] The male side ribs 62, 72 and the female side ribs 63, 73 are provided for positioning the two sliding door handles 2 and 3 in the left - right direction when attaching the sliding door handle 2 to the front opening of the vertically elongated hole 11 and attaching the sliding door handle 3 upside - down to the rear opening of the vertically elongated hole 11.

[0041] The male side ribs 62, 72 are provided at the longitudinal - direction middle of the left and right long sides of the connecting plates 6, 7 in the upper - half region of the connecting plates 6, 7 (toward one side in the longitudinal direction with the center point of the connecting plate as the center at the longitudinal - direction middle), protruding rearward from the connecting plates 6, 7.

[0042] These male side ribs 62, 72 are in the shape of vertically - elongated strip - like plates in side view, and on their outer surfaces, one protruding rib 62a, 72a along the vertical direction is provided to protrude outward.

[0043] The female side ribs 63, 73 are provided at the lower - half region of the left and right long sides of the connecting plates 6, 7 (toward the other side in the longitudinal direction with the center point of the connecting plate 6, 7 as the center at the longitudinal - direction middle), protruding rearward from the connecting plates 6, 7, and are overlapped on the outer surfaces of the left and right male side ribs 62, 72 respectively when attaching the sliding door handle 2 to the front opening of the vertically elongated hole 11 and attaching the sliding door handle 3 upside - down to the rear opening of the vertically elongated hole 11.

[0044] These female side ribs 63, 73 are in the shape of vertically - elongated strip - like plates in side view, and on their inner surfaces, multi - step grooves 63a, 73a are provided. The multi - step grooves 63a, 73a are formed by providing a plurality of vertically - extending grooves adjacent to each other in the rising direction of the female side ribs 63, 73.

[0045] Then, when attaching the sliding door handle 2 to the front opening of the vertically elongated hole 11 and attaching the sliding door handle 3 upside down to the rear opening of the vertically elongated hole 11, as shown in FIG. 8, when the inner surfaces of the left and right female side ribs 63 and 73 are respectively overlapped with the outer surfaces of the left and right male side ribs 62 and 72, the protrusion portions 62a and 72a of the male side ribs 62 and 72 are locked to any one of the multi-stage grooves 63a and 73a of the female side ribs 63 and 73. Therefore, the front sliding door handle 2 and the rear sliding door handle 3 are connected in a state where they are positioned in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction.

[0046] Moreover, depending on the locking positions of the protrusion portions 62a and 72a with respect to the multi-stage grooves 63a and 73a, the relative position in the front-rear direction between the connected front sliding door handle 2 and the rear sliding door handle 3 can be adjusted in multiple stages in terms of distance. Thereby, it becomes possible to adjust the relative position in the front-rear direction between the front sliding door handle 2 and the rear sliding door handle 3 according to the thickness of the sliding door 1 in the front-rear direction.

[0047] In addition, when connecting the upper and lower directions of the front sliding door handle 2 and the rear sliding door handle 3, in order to prevent interference between the upper side of the female side rib 63 of the front connecting plate 6 and the lower side of the female side rib 73 of the rear connecting plate 7, in a state where the front sliding door handle 2 and the rear sliding door handle 3 are connected so as to match in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 7, a predetermined separation gap X is provided between the upper side of the female side rib 63 of the front connecting plate 6 and the lower side of the female side rib 73 of the rear connecting plate 7.

[0048] The center ribs 64 and 74 are provided to allow downward displacement of the rear sliding door handle 3 with respect to the front sliding door handle 2 but prevent upward displacement when attaching the sliding door handle 2 to the front opening of the vertically elongated hole 11 and attaching the sliding door handle 3 upside down to the rear opening of the vertically elongated hole 11.

[0049] This center rib 64, 74 is provided so as to project rearward at a position above or below the longitudinal center on the rear surface of the connecting plates 6, 7 and along the short side direction, and when the sliding door handle 2 is attached to the front opening of the vertical long hole 11 and the sliding door handle 3 is attached upside down to the rear opening of the vertical long hole 11, they are overlapped with each other from above.

[0050] Note that on the lower side of the center rib 64 in the previous connecting plate 6 and on the upper side of the center rib 74 in the subsequent connecting plate 7, windows 67, 77 as interference avoidance portions are provided respectively. These windows 67, 77 are provided so as to penetrate in the plate thickness direction.

[0051] The reason for installing the above-mentioned windows 67, 77 will be explained. In a state where the sliding door handle 2 is attached to the front opening of the vertical long hole 11 and the sliding door handle 3 is attached upside down to the rear opening of the vertical long hole 11, if the separation distance between the front and rear connecting plates 6, 7 becomes shorter than a predetermined value due to the small front-rear thickness of the sliding door 1, if there is no window provided, the tip of the center rib 64 of the previous connecting plate 6 may interfere with the rear surface of the subsequent connecting plate 7, and the tip of the center rib 74 of the subsequent connecting plate 7 may interfere with the rear surface of the previous connecting plate 6. However, if the windows 67, 77 are provided, even in such a case, since the center ribs 64, 74 will enter the windows 67, 77, the above-mentioned interference will be avoided.

[0052] The male ribs 65, 75 and the female ribs 66, 76 are provided to allow the upward displacement of the subsequent sliding door handle 3 with respect to the previous sliding door handle 2 and prevent the downward displacement when the sliding door handle 2 is attached to the front opening of the vertical long hole 11 and the sliding door handle 3 is attached upside down to the rear opening of the vertical long hole 11.

[0053] The male ribs 65, 75 are provided so as to project rearward on the upper semi-circular short sides of the connecting plates 6, 7. These male ribs 65, 75 are semi-cylindrical and are shaped such that the middle is separated, and on their upper surfaces (outer surfaces), one protrusion 65a, 75a along the circumferential direction is provided so as to project outward.

[0054] The female ribs 66, 76 are provided so as to project rearward from the semicircular short sides below the connecting plates 6, 7. The female ribs 66, 76 are semi-cylindrical and are shaped such that the middle is separated, and multi-step grooves 66a, 76a are provided on their upper surfaces (inner surfaces). The multi-step grooves 66a, 76a are formed by providing a plurality of grooves along the circumferential direction adjacent to each other in the rising direction of the female ribs 66, 76.

[0055] Then, when the sliding door handle 2 is attached to the front opening of the vertically long hole 11 and the sliding door handle 3 is attached upside down to the rear opening of the vertically long hole 11, as shown in FIG. 8, the lower surface (inner surface) of the female rib 76 of the rear connecting plate 7 is overlapped with the upper surface (outer surface) of the male rib 65 of the front connecting plate 6, and the lower surface (outer surface) of the male rib 75 of the rear connecting plate 7 is overlapped with the upper surface (inner surface) of the female rib 66 of the front connecting plate 6. Since the ridge portions 65a, 75a of the male ribs 65, 75 are locked to the multi-step grooves 66a, 76a of the female ribs 66, 76, a state is achieved that allows upward displacement of the rear sliding door handle 3 with respect to the front sliding door handle 2 but blocks downward displacement.

[0056] Moreover, depending on the locking positions of the ridge portions 65a, 75a with respect to the multi-step grooves 66a, 76a, the relative position in the front-rear direction between the connected front sliding door handle 2 and the rear sliding door handle 3 can be adjusted in multiple steps in terms of distance. Thereby, it becomes possible to adjust the relative position in the front-rear direction between the front sliding door handle 2 and the rear sliding door handle 3 according to the thickness of the sliding door 1 in the front-rear direction.

[0057] As described above, in the state where the front sliding door handle 2 and the rear sliding door handle 3 are connected so as to be aligned in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 7, the center rib 64 of the front connecting plate 6 and the center rib 74 of the rear connecting plate 7 overlap, allowing downward displacement of the rear sliding door handle 3 with respect to the front sliding door handle 2 but preventing upward displacement. Also, the male ribs 65, 75 of the front connecting plate 6 and the female ribs 66, 76 of the rear connecting plate 7 overlap, allowing upward displacement of the rear sliding door handle 3 with respect to the front sliding door handle 2 but preventing downward displacement. Therefore, the rear sliding door handle 3 is positioned in the vertical direction with respect to the front sliding door handle 2.

[0058] By the way, the handle bodies 4, 5 described above can be manufactured, for example, by resin molding, and the connecting plates 6, 7 can be manufactured, for example, by sheet metal processing.

[0059] As described above, in the embodiment to which the present invention is applied, both the front sliding door handle 2 attached to the front opening of the vertically long hole 11 formed through the sliding door 1 and the rear sliding door handle 3 attached to the rear opening of the vertically long hole 11 have a two-piece structure (a combined structure of the handle bodies 4, 5 and the connecting plates 6, 7). Therefore, compared with the conventional example, the number of parts can be reduced and the combination work can be simplified, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

[0060] Moreover, in the sliding door handles 2, 3 of the present embodiment, when attaching the front and rear sliding door handles 2, 3 to the vertically long hole 11 of the sliding door 1, the front and rear sliding door handles 2, 3 can be attached in a state where they are positioned vertically, horizontally, and front and rear by a relatively simple operation of just pushing in the front and rear sliding door handles 2, 3. Therefore, the attachment work can be performed quickly regardless of the skill level of the operator.

[0061] Also, according to the sliding door handles 2 and 3 of the present embodiment, the front sliding door handle 2 and the rear sliding door handle 3 can have the same specifications. Therefore, compared with the case where the front sliding door handle 2 and the rear sliding door handle 3 have different specifications, the production line, inventory management, and on-site installation work can be simplified.

[0062] Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately modified within the scope of the claims and the scope equivalent thereto.

[0063] (1) Although not shown, in the above embodiment, it is possible to eliminate the wedge-shaped protrusions 44 and 54 of the handle bodies 4 and 5, and such an embodiment is also included in the present invention. In the case of such an embodiment, the same operations and effects as those of the above embodiment can be obtained.

[0064] (2) Although not shown, in the above embodiment, it is possible to install female ribs 66 and 76 on the connecting plates 6 and 7 and male ribs 65 and 75 under the connecting plates 6 and 7, and such an embodiment is also included in the present invention. In the case of such an embodiment, the same operations and effects as those of the above embodiment can be obtained.
