Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a pull member for a sliding door, and more particularly to a pull member that is attached to a notch formed by cutting out the end portion of a sliding door. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, sliding door handle members include those that are attached by hollowing out a portion near the end of the sliding door, and those that are attached to a notch formed by cutting out the end of the sliding door (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-23924 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-116768 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Incidentally, in the pull member disclosed in Patent Document 1, which is attached to a notch formed by cutting out the end wood of a sliding door, the end wood of the sliding door is partially cut out in the thickness direction from both sides of the sliding door so that the center of the sliding door in the thickness direction remains, and the pull member is attached to the notch. This has the advantage that a common pull member can be used regardless of the thickness dimension of the sliding door, but it has the problem that it requires a lot of effort and skill to form a cutout in the sliding door to attach the pull member.

[0005] On the other hand, the pull handle member disclosed in Patent Document 2 is comprised of a first frame member and a second frame member divided in the thickness direction of the sliding door, which are open on the butt end side and form a pull handle space that penetrates through the thickness direction of the sliding door, and a partition member equipped with a partition panel portion that separates the pull handle space at a predetermined position in the thickness direction of the sliding door, and an butt end panel portion that closes the butt end side of the pull handle space, which is formed integrally with the butt end side of the partition panel portion.This solves the problems of the pull handle member disclosed in Patent Document 1, and the cutout portion of the sliding door for attaching the pull handle member can be easily formed by making the shape of the cutout portion simple.

[0006] However, the pull member disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a problem in that the screws and screw holes for fixing the first frame member and the second frame member to the sliding door are exposed in conspicuous locations.

[0007] In view of the problems with the pull handle member disclosed in Patent Document 2, which is attached to a notch formed by cutting out the end wood of the conventional sliding door, the present invention aims to provide a pull handle member for a sliding door that can be firmly fixed to the sliding door without rattle, while preventing the screws and screw holes for fixing the pull handle member to the sliding door from being exposed in conspicuous places. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the sliding door pull member of the present invention is a pull member that is attached to a notch formed by cutting out the edge of a sliding door, and comprises a pull body consisting of a front panel, a partition panel, and a rear panel; a lower member that has a groove into which the lower edge of the pull body fits and a rising piece located on the rear side of the rear panel; and an upper member that is formed as a separate piece and has a groove into which the upper edge of the pull body fits and that sandwiches the upper edge of the partition panel from both sides. The screw holes are formed in the buckle and the upper member.

[0009] In this case, the pull body may be made of metal, and the lower and upper members may be made of synthetic resin.

[0010] Also, a screw hole may be formed in the upper end of the boundary between the partition panel and the rear panel.

[0011] Furthermore, a protrusion may be formed on the upper surface of the upper member to abut against the lower surface of the notch of the sliding door and determine the fixed position of the upper member in the height direction.

[0012] The protrusions may extend in the width direction of the upper member and have a triangular cross section. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] According to the sliding door pull member of the present invention, the pull member is attached to a notch formed by cutting out the edge of the sliding door, and comprises a pull body consisting of a front panel, a partition panel, and a rear panel; a lower member having a groove into which the lower edge of the pull body fits and a raised piece located on the back side of the rear panel; and an upper member formed in a separate piece having a groove into which the upper edge of the pull body fits and which sandwiches the upper edge of the partition panel from both sides.By forming screw holes in the raised piece of the lower member and the upper member, the screws and screw holes for fixing the pull member to the sliding door are not exposed in conspicuous places, and the pull member can be firmly fixed to the sliding door without rattle.

[0014] Furthermore, by making the pull body out of metal and the lower and upper members out of synthetic resin, the design is enhanced while improving the fit between the members, and rattle between the members of the pull member can be eliminated.

[0015] Furthermore, by forming a screw hole at the upper end of the boundary between the partition panel and the rear panel, the handle member can be more firmly fixed to the sliding door.

[0016] Furthermore, by forming a protrusion on the upper surface of the upper member to abut against the underside of the cutout in the sliding door and determine the fixed position of the upper member in the height direction, it is possible to prevent a gap from occurring between the upper member and the handle body even if the dimensional accuracy of the cutout formed by cutting out the edge of the sliding door is poor.

[0017] By making the protrusions extend in the width direction of the upper member and have a triangular cross-sectional shape, the upper member can be smoothly attached and the height of the protrusions can be easily adjusted. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of a sliding door pull member of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0020] 1 and 2 show an embodiment of a sliding door pull member of the present invention. The pull member of this sliding door is attached to a notch formed by cutting out the edge of the wood of the sliding door D, and comprises a pull body 1 consisting of a front panel 11, a partition panel 12 and a rear panel 13, a lower member 2 having a groove 21 into which the lower edge of the pull body 1 fits and a rising piece 22 located on the back side of the rear panel 13, and upper members 3A and 3B formed as separate parts having grooves 31a and 31b into which the upper edge of the pull body 1 fits and which sandwich the upper edge of the partition panel 12 from both sides, and screw holes 23, 32a and 32b are formed in the rising piece 22 of the lower member 2 and in the upper members 3A and 3B.

[0021] The pull handle body 1, lower member 2, and upper members 3A and 3B can be made of die-cast metal (including alloys) such as aluminum, zinc, magnesium, etc., or synthetic resin. In particular, by making the pull handle body 1 die-cast and the lower member 2 and upper members 3A and 3B synthetic resin, the design can be enhanced while improving the fit between the members, and eliminating rattling between the members of the pull handle.

[0022] The width of the front plate portion 11 is formed to be smaller than the width of the rear plate portion 13. As a result, even in the case of a sliding door D in which the entire sliding door D is housed in a door pocket, the sliding door D housed in the door pocket can be pulled out by pinching the front panel portion 11.

[0023] In this embodiment, the partition panel portion 12 is positioned at the center of the thickness of the sliding door D, but depending on the manner in which the sliding door D is used, it can be positioned offset from the center of the thickness of the sliding door D.

[0024] The handle member of this sliding door is configured by forming screw holes 23, 32a, 32b in the rising piece 22 of the lower member 2 and the upper members 3A, 3B, so that the screws 4 and screw holes 23, 32a, 32b for fixing the handle member to the sliding door D are not exposed in conspicuous locations (out of the ordinary line of sight, as shown in Figure 1(d)), and the handle member can be firmly fixed to the sliding door D without rattle. Here, by forming the cross-sectional shape of the groove into which the upper edge (and / or lower edge) of the handle body 1 fits, for example, grooves 31a and 31b into which the upper edge of the front panel portion 11 fits, into a trapezoid (a shape in which the groove width gradually narrows toward the back), the handle member can be more firmly fixed to the sliding door D without rattling.

[0025] 3 to 6 show a first modified embodiment of the sliding door pull member of the present invention. This sliding door pull member is configured such that a screw hole 14 is formed in the upper end of the boundary between the partition panel portion 12 and the rear panel portion 13 of the sliding door pull member shown in FIGS. In this case, the screw 4 may be screwed directly into the screw hole 14, but in order to ensure that the seating surface of the screw 4 is stably seated, a screw abutment portion 33 may be provided on the upper member 3A, and the screw 4 may be screwed into the screw hole 14 via the screw abutment portion 33, or the screw abutment portion 33 may be formed as an independent separate member. This allows the handle member to be fixed to the sliding door D more firmly.

[0026] The other configurations and effects of this first modified embodiment are the same as those of the sliding door pull member shown in FIGS.

[0027] In the above embodiment of the sliding door handle member, when the upper members 3A, 3B are fixed with the screws 4, an upward force acts on the upper members 3A, 3B, causing them to be lifted. Therefore, as shown in Figure 7, if the dimensional accuracy of the notch K formed by cutting out the end portion of the sliding door D is poor, specifically, if the height dimension H of the notch K is formed larger than the designed dimension, a gap G will be generated between the upper members 3A, 3B and the handle body 1.

[0028] FIG. 8 shows a second modified embodiment of the sliding door pull member of the present invention, which addresses this issue. The handle member of this sliding door is formed with a protrusion 34 on the upper surface of the upper members 3A, 3B to abut against the underside of the cutout K of the sliding door D and determine the fixed position of the upper members 3A, 3B in the height direction.

[0029] Preferably, a plurality of the protrusions 34 (three of each in this embodiment) extend in the width direction of the upper members 3A, 3B and have a triangular cross section. Here, the protrusions 34 are cut at an angle at the tip end on the widthwise center side of the upper members 3A and 3B, and the height gradually decreases, making it possible to easily insert the upper members 3A and 3B. This allows the upper members 3A and 3B to be smoothly attached (the protrusions 34 are pressed into the sliding door D from the side thereof so that they bite into the sliding door D), and also makes it easy to adjust the height of the protrusions 34 (if the height dimension H of the cutout K is formed according to the designed dimension and no gap G occurs, the protrusions 34 (all or part of them) can be cut off using a cutter or the like).

[0030] By forming the protrusions 34 on the upper surfaces of the upper members 3A and 3B, even if the dimensional accuracy of the notch K formed by cutting out the edge of the sliding door D is poor, when the upper members 3A and 3B are fixed with the screws 4, even if an upward force acts on the upper members 3A and 3B, the protrusions 34 formed on the upper surfaces of the upper members 3A and 3B will abut against the underside of the notch K of the sliding door D, determining the fixed position of the upper members 3A and 3B in the height direction, and the upper members 3A and 3B will not be lifted, thereby preventing the occurrence of a gap G between the upper members 3A and 3B and the handle body 1. Here, the protrusion 34 creates a gap between the underside of the notch K of the sliding door D and the upper surfaces of the upper members 3A and 3B, but this gap is covered by the raised edges 35 formed on the outer periphery of the upper members 3A and 3B and is not exposed.

[0031] The other configurations and effects of the second modified embodiment are the same as those of the sliding door pull member shown in FIGS.

[0032] The sliding door handle member of the present invention has been described above based on its embodiment, but the present invention is not limited to the configuration described in the above embodiment, and the configuration can be changed as appropriate within the scope of the spirit of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]

[0033] The sliding door pull member of the present invention can be suitably used as a pull member for various sliding doors and sliding doors of different thicknesses, as it can firmly fix the pull member to the sliding door without rattle, while ensuring that the screws and screw holes for fixing the pull member to the sliding door are not exposed in conspicuous places.
