Description

The presented invention relates to a connecting element, a subassembly, a counter-connecting element, a handle and an actuating handle for a component, as well as a manufacturing method for the presented actuating handle.

To operate, in particular to open, tilt and close components such as windows or doors, operating handles are used, which usually include a handle and a subassembly.

By moving the handle, an actuating element of the subassembly is moved and a mechanism of the respective component is brought into a predetermined position, so that the component can be opened or closed, for example, or is unlocked or locked.

To fasten the subassembly to the component, screws are usually used, which are covered by a covering cap after screwing to a component in order to prevent contamination of the screw connection.

Accordingly, the handle and substructure can be rotated, i.e. they are not detachably connected to each other. For full cover handles, the cover cap cannot be rotated to access the screws.

The cover cap must be threaded over the handle for installation or it is already pre-assembled and loosely rotatable on a handle neck of the handle. Both arrangements can lead to damage to the handle by the cover cap and damage to the cover cap before or during assembly of the handle on a component.

Furthermore, square handles require a particularly large hole in the cover cap in order to thread it over the handle, so that even when assembled, there can be exposed areas of the subassembly and a corresponding ingress of dirt into the mechanics of the subassembly., whereby the subassembly can be damaged.

Against this background, one object of the presented invention is to provide a possibility for mounting an actuating handle on a component, which allows variable sizes of actuating elements and meets product standards relevant to the respective component. In particular, it is an object of the presented invention to enable tool-free assembly of a handle on a subassembly.

According to a first aspect of the presented invention, a connecting element for reversibly connecting a handle comprising a counter-connecting element to a subassembly for an actuating handle of a component is thus presented.

The connecting element comprises a base element, a receptacle running along a longitudinal axis in the base element for receiving an actuating element of the actuating handle and a securing element which is connected to the base element and has a securing end, the securing end of the securing element being movable relative to the base element between a release position and a securing position, and wherein the locking end is further from the longitudinal axis in the locking position than in the release position.

In the securing position, the securing element in the installed state, i.e. when the counter-connecting element is arranged on the connecting element, requires that the counter-connecting element is secured against movement along the longitudinal axis relative to the connecting element, so that the handle surrounding the counter-connecting element is not deviated from the connecting element or a subassembly connected to the fastener can be peeled off.

In the release position, the locking end allows relative movement of the mating connector to the connector such that a handle comprising the mating connector can be pulled from a subassembly connected to the connector. Correspondingly, using the presented connecting element, a cover cap can be arranged on the subassembly and then the handle can be connected to the subassembly. This means that the covering cap can be designed independently of the geometry of the handle. Correspondingly, the cover cap can be designed, for example, in a form-fitting manner with respect to the subassembly and can be clipped to the subassembly without screws, so that dirt is prevented from penetrating into the subassembly.

In one embodiment of the connection element presented, it is provided that the securing end is completely accommodated in a base receptacle of the base element in the release position and protrudes at least in regions from the base receptacle in the securing position.

When the locking end is fully received in the base receptacle, this allows the mating connector to slide over the locking member, allowing the mating connector to move relative to the connector and allowing the handle to be pulled away from the subassembly.

If the securing end protrudes from the base receptacle at least in some areas, the securing end blocks a movement of the mating connection element relative to the connection element, so that the handle cannot be pulled off the subassembly.

In a further embodiment of the presented connecting element, it is provided that the securing element is configured to engage in the securing position with the securing end in some areas in a counter-receptacle of the counter-connecting element, so that the securing end is secured in the base receptacle and the counter-receptacle at the same time in order to prevent a movement of the connecting element relative to the mating connection element in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis or away from the connection element.

Intersection of the locking end with both the connector and the mating connector secures the connector and the mating connector to each other by transferring a tensile force transmitted to the mating connector to the locking member and through the locking member to the base member of the connector.

In a further embodiment of the presented connecting element, it is provided that the base receptacle has an inclined locking edge on at least one side in order to guide the securing end into the securing position in the event of a tensile load, in which the securing end is clamped between the connecting element and the counter-connecting element.

A sloping locking edge causes a guided movement of the securing end when a tensile force is applied, so that the securing end is reliably located in the predetermined securing position and reliably blocks movement of the counter-connecting element or the handle relative to the connecting element or the subassembly.

In a further embodiment of the connection element presented, it is provided that the securing element comprises a rocker which is pivotably mounted about a pivot point between the release position and the securing position.

A seesaw means that a movement of a first end of the seesaw is transferred to a second end of the seesaw. Accordingly, by applying a force, e.g. a spring force, to a first end of a securing element configured as a rocker, a second end of the securing element, in particular the securing end, can be brought into a predetermined position and held there until a force is applied to the securing end , which is greater than the spring force.

In a further embodiment of the presented connecting element it is provided that the securing element is elastic.

An elastic securing element causes the securing end to move independently or automatically into a predetermined position, so that additional elements, such as mechanical springs for positioning the securing end, can be dispensed with.

In a further embodiment of the presented connecting element it is provided that the securing element is a leaf spring.

A leaf spring has proven to be a robust and inexpensive component for providing the securing element.

In a further embodiment of the presented connecting element, it is provided that the securing element comprises a short end which is mounted in the base element so that it can pivot about a pivot point, so that a movement of the short end from a first position into a second position leads to a movement of the securing end between the securing position and the release position.

A short end, which possibly serves as a lever, is suitable for transferring a force, which is provided, for example, by means of a mechanical spring, to the securing end, so that the securing end is moved, for example, into the securing point. Depending on the distance or length of the short end from a pivot point of the securing element, a force provided by the mechanical spring can have an increased effect on the securing end.

In a further embodiment of the presented connecting element it is provided that the connecting element comprises a spring element that presses the short end into the first position.

A spring element, such as a mechanical spring, in particular a compression spring, is suitable for moving and securing the securing end into the securing position until the securing end is subjected to a force that is greater than the force provided by the spring element. Accordingly, the movement of the securing end into the securing position caused by the spring element is reversible, so that the counter-connecting element or the handle can be pulled off the connecting element or the subassembly when the securing end has been moved out of the securing position.

In a further embodiment of the connection element presented, it is provided that the securing end of the securing element comprises two shoulders which widen the securing end in relation to a conversion element of the securing element.

Broadened shoulders allow the securing element to engage in respective components, i.e. the connecting element and the counter-connecting element. A narrower transfer element allows the securing element to move in the connecting element or in a corresponding transfer recess of the connecting element.

In a further embodiment of the connection element presented, it is provided that the base element comprises a conversion recess in which the conversion element is arranged, the conversion recess being narrower than the securing end.

A contact between the securing end and the connecting element is ensured by a conversion receptacle that is narrower than the securing end, so that a force transmission takes place from the securing element to the connecting element.

Correspondingly, a force acting on the securing element by a counter-connection element can be transmitted to the connection element and the subassembly connected to the connection element, so that the counter-connection element is secured to the connection element and the subassembly.

In a further embodiment of the presented connecting element it is provided that the securing element consists at least in regions of plastic or of a metal, in particular of a metal alloy such as zamak.

In particular, zamac has proven to be suitable for providing a robust and correspondingly reliable security element.

In a further embodiment of the presented connecting element it is provided that the connecting element consists at least in regions of a metal, in particular of a metal alloy such as zamak.

Zamac, in particular, has proven to be suitable for providing a robust and correspondingly reliable connecting element.

In a further embodiment of the presented connecting element, it is provided that the base element comprises a spring receptacle for receiving and securing an annular spring element surrounding the base element in some areas, the spring receptacle being formed between the securing element and a subassembly end of the base element, with which the connecting element is to be arranged on the subassembly .

A spring seat, i.e. an area on which a spring element can be arranged, is used to secure the spring element, for example by means of safety pins or extensions, so that the spring element cannot fall out of the spring seat. When installed, the spring retainer is positioned between the subassembly and the securing element.

In a further embodiment of the connection element presented, it is provided that the connection element comprises a number of interfaces for engaging corresponding mating interfaces of the mating connection element.

A relative position of the connecting element and the counter-connecting element can be specified by interfaces for engaging the counter-connecting element. Furthermore, the counter-connection element can engage on the connection element and thereby be secured on the connection element. For example, the counter-connection element can engage in the spring receptacle and be subjected to a force by the ring spring, which presses the counter-connection element onto the securing element and the latter onto the main body of the connection element, thereby minimizing play in the counter-connection element or a corresponding handle.

In a further embodiment of the presented connecting element, it is provided that the interfaces are configured as keyways, with one of the keyways being shorter is than the respective other keyway, so that the mating connection element can only be connected to the connection element in a predetermined position relative to the latter.

A connection of the connecting element and counter-connecting element in only one predetermined position relative to one another is ensured by means of various keyways and corresponding keys.

In a further embodiment of the connection element presented, it is provided that the receptacle is configured to enable a freewheel of 3° of the actuating element engaging in the receptacle.

A free movement of 3° makes it possible to comply with specified rules and regulations, in particular for the installation and operation of windows.

According to a second aspect, the presented invention relates to a sub-assembly for actuating a component, wherein the sub-assembly comprises a possible embodiment of the presented connecting element.

The subassembly presented is used in particular for connection to the connection element presented, in order to provide an actuation handle for a component.

In one embodiment of the subassembly it is provided that the connecting element is crimped to the subassembly.

By flanging the connecting element to the subassembly, a secure connection, in particular one that is resistant to tensile force, is provided between the subassembly and the connecting element.

In one embodiment of the subassembly it is provided that the subassembly comprises a cover cap.

By means of a subassembly with a cover, the cover can be designed with a precise fit or a form-fitting fit to a shape of the subassembly, so that the subassembly is correspondingly and reliably protected by the cover against the ingress of dirt or against environmental influences.

According to a third aspect, the presented invention relates to a counter-connection element for reversibly connecting a handle comprising the counter-connection element to a possible embodiment of the presented connection element, wherein the counter-connection element has a counter-base element and a counter-receptacle running along a longitudinal axis in the counter-base element for at least partially receiving a securing end of a securing element of the Includes connecting element.

The counter-connection element is used in particular for connection to the presented connection element in order to secure a grip, which includes the counter-connection element, on a subassembly connected to the connection element.

In a possible embodiment of the counter-connection element presented, provision is made for the counter-receptacle to form an undercut that encompasses the securing end of the securing element of the connection element when the securing end engages in the counter-receptacle.

An undercut can be used to provide a contact surface between the mating connection element and the securing end of the securing element, which enables a tensile force to be transmitted from the mating connection element to the securing element and correspondingly secures the mating connection element against movement relative to the connecting element.

In a further embodiment of the counter-connection element presented, provision is made for the counter-connection element to consist of two half-shells which are connected by a pin connection.

With two half-shells, the counter-connection element can be provided quickly and easily or inserted into a handle.

In a further embodiment of the counter-connection element presented, it is provided that the counter-connection element comprises a number, in particular four, counter-interfaces for connection to interfaces of the connection element.

Counter-interfaces, such as pins, which engage in connection interfaces, such as recesses, enable positive contact or exact positioning of the counter-connection element and connection element relative to one another.

In a further embodiment of the counter-connection element presented, it is provided that the counter-interfaces are designed as feather keys, with one of the feather keys being shorter than the other feather keys, so that the Counter-connection element can only be connected in a predetermined position relative to the connecting element with this.

A connection of the connecting element and counter-connecting element in only one predetermined position relative to one another is ensured by means of various keyways and corresponding keys.

In a further embodiment of the counter-connection element presented, it is provided that the counter-connection element comprises a tool holder which guides a tool inserted into the tool holder onto the securing end of the securing element in order to move the securing end from the securing position into the release position.

In order to enable or release a movement of the counter-connection element relative to the connection element again, the securing end must be moved into the release position. A tool receptacle, such as a channel in the mating connector, allows access and guided movement of a tool to the locking end so that the locking end can be moved to the release position.

In a further embodiment of the counter-connection element presented, it is provided that the counter-connection element comprises a compression spring which is configured to push the counter-connection element and the connection element apart in the installed state.

A compression spring that pushes the counter-connecting element and the connecting element apart allows the counter-connecting element to be arranged particularly close to the connecting element, so that an annular spring can be dispensed with, as has been found to be particularly advantageous for handles made of stainless steel.

In a further embodiment of the counter-connection element presented, it is provided that the counter-connection element comprises webs which secure the compression spring on the counter-connection element.

Webs, in particular tapered webs, have proven to be a suitable means for securing the compression spring to the mating connection element.

According to a fourth aspect, the presented invention relates to a handle for an actuation handle for a component, the handle comprising a possible embodiment of the presented mating connection element.

By using the counter-connection element presented, the handle presented can be arranged as often as desired on different subassemblies if the subassemblies have a respective connection element.

Accordingly, a cover cap can first be arranged and positioned on a subassembly and then the handle can be arranged so that a recess in the cover cap can be designed independently of the handle or can be arranged on the subassembly.

According to a fifth aspect, the presented invention relates to an actuating handle for a component, wherein the actuating handle comprises a possible embodiment of the presented subassembly and a possible embodiment of the presented handle, the handle being reversibly connectable to the subassembly.

In one embodiment of the actuating handle presented, it is provided that the counter-connecting element of the handle can be moved parallel to the longitudinal axis relative to the connecting element of the subassembly when the securing element of the connecting element is in the release position, with the handle being prevented from moving parallel to the longitudinal axis relative to the connecting element is secured when the securing element is in the securing position.

Due to its movable arrangement in the connecting element, the securing element of the connecting element enables a reversible, positionally secure arrangement of the handle on the subassembly. Accordingly, a cover cap can be arranged on the subassembly before the handle is mounted or the handle can be dismantled in order to remove the cover cap. In particular, the assembly or disassembly of the cap can be done without screws.

In a further embodiment of the actuating handle presented, it is provided that the actuating handle comprises an actuating element, the actuating element being a square pin, on the sides of which protuberances are formed in the middle, which secure the square pin on the subassembly in a non-assembled state, and the receptacle of the connecting element forms a square socket, on the sides of which recesses are formed in the middle in order to accommodate the protuberances in an assembled state.

In a further embodiment of the presented actuation handle, it is provided that the actuation handle comprises a cover cap arranged on the subassembly, with a cross section of a bore of the cover cap being smaller than a cross section of the handle.

A covering cap whose cross section is smaller than a cross section of the handle can prevent dirt from penetrating into the subassembly.

In a further embodiment of the actuating handle presented, it is provided that the handle consists of stainless steel and the counter-connection element comprises a compression spring which is configured to push the counter-connection element and the connection element apart in the installed state.

A handle made of stainless steel can be manufactured with particularly tight component tolerances, so that there is a particularly tight connection between the handle and the subassembly, in which case a ring spring element for securing the handle to the subassembly can be dispensed with if necessary. However, in order to build up a clamping force between the handle and the subassembly, a spring is suitable that pushes the counter-connection element away from the connection element.

In a further embodiment of the actuating handle presented, it is provided that the counter-connection element comprises webs which secure the compression spring on the counter-connection element.

Webs, particularly tapered webs, have proven to be a reliable means of securing a compression spring to the mating connector.

According to a sixth aspect, the presented invention relates to a manufacturing method for a component, wherein the manufacturing method involves arranging a possible configuration of the presented subassembly on a frame of the component, arranging a cover cap on the subassembly, and arranging a possible configuration of the presented handle on the Subassembly comprising, wherein the handle is held on the subassembly solely by a connection of the connector of the subassembly with the mating connector of the handle.

The production method presented serves in particular to provide a component with the actuation handle presented.

In one embodiment of the manufacturing method presented, provision is made for the handle to be arranged on the subassembly manually and without tools.

In one embodiment of the production method presented, it is provided that the production method further comprises the production of the connecting element of the subassembly and/or the production of the counter-connection element of the handle, the production of the connecting element and/or the counter-connection element being carried out by an injection molding process or a machining process, and wherein the connecting element and/or the counter-connecting element are made of a metal, in particular a metallic alloy.

The figures are described together. The same reference symbols designate the same features.

In 1 a connecting element 100 is shown. The connecting element 100 includes a Base element 101, which can consist, for example, of a metal alloy, in particular of zamac.

The base element 101 surrounds or forms a receptacle 105 running along a longitudinal axis 103 in the base element 101 for receiving an actuating element of an actuating handle, such as a square pin.

Furthermore, the connecting element 100 comprises a base receptacle 111 with a sloping locking edge 115 and a conversion recess 129.

Furthermore, a spring receptacle 131 for arranging an annular spring element is formed on the connecting element 100 . In the installed state, the annular spring element protrudes around a neck of a plastic lower part of a subassembly and is secured by a number of securing lugs 143 , here by way of example four, which are attached circumferentially to the base element 101 .

The connecting element 100 can be connected to a subassembly by means of a subassembly end 133, for example by flanging.

In 2 the connecting element 100 is shown in a connection with a counter-connecting element 300 .

In 2 it can be clearly seen that the connecting element comprises a securing element 107 with a securing end 109 and a conversion element 127 . The fuse element 107 is in 1 not shown for reasons of clarity.

The conversion element 127 engages in the conversion recess 129, as shown in 1 is shown, so that the conversion element 127 and, as a result, the securing end 109 are movably mounted.

In the present case, the mating connection element 300, in the installed state, encompasses the connection element 100. The securing end 109 of the securing element 107 is located in 2 in a securing position in which the securing end 109 is further away from the longitudinal axis 103 than in the in 3 shown release position.

In 2 For example, the securing element 107 is designed as a rocker which is mounted so that it can rotate about a pivot point 117 . Alternatively, the securing element 107 can also be configured as a leaf spring.

The pivot point 117 is provided here, for example, at the upper end of the securing element 107 with which the securing element 107 leans against the connecting element 100 .

A compression spring 135 presses the locking member 107 at the pivot point 117 against the base member 101, thereby urging the locking end 109 into the locking position.

In the securing position, the securing end 109 of the securing element 107 contacts the counter-connection element 300, so that a tensile force load along the longitudinal axis 103 for pulling the counter-connection element 300 from the connecting element 100 onto the securing end 109 and from this onto the connecting element 100 and from there onto a not shown here Subassembly and a corresponding component is passed. Correspondingly, the counter-connection element 300 is secured by the securing element 107 on the connection element 100 and, as a result, on the subassembly and the component in the longitudinal direction, but rotatably relative to a subassembly.

In 3 the securing end 109 was acted upon by a tool introduced into the tool holder 137 with a force by which the securing end 109 was moved from the securing position into the release position. Accordingly, the fuse end is 109 in 3 arranged closer to the longitudinal axis 103 than in 2 .

In the present case, the securing end 109 engages in the base receptacle 111 . This means that the tool exerts a force on the securing end 109 which is greater than a force provided by the compression spring 135, possibly in combination with a lever acting through the securing element 107.

When the locking end 109 is in the release position, the mating connector 300 can be moved along the longitudinal axis 103 relative to the connector 100 and correspondingly disengaged from a subassembly.

In 4 an interaction of the securing end 109 with the connecting element 100 and the counter-connecting element 300 is shown.

Securing end 109 is shown here in the securing position, such that mating connector 300 abuts securing end 109 when mating connector 300 is moved in the direction of longitudinal axis 103 away from a subassembly, not shown, or toward translation member 127, as indicated by arrow 139 indicated. Since the safe ing end 109 is secured by the securing element 107 in the longitudinal direction or in the direction of the arrow 139, the securing end 109 or the securing element 107 prevents a movement of the mating connection element 300 in the direction of the arrow 139.

Furthermore, in 4 It can be seen that two shoulders 123 and 125 of locking member 107 are wider than conversion member 127 such that shoulders 123 and 125 engage base receptacle 111 when locking end 109 is moved to the release position. When the shoulders 123 and 125 engage the base receptacle 111, the mating connector can slide over the securing end 109, allowing movement of the mating connector 300 in the direction of arrow 139 or relative to the longitudinal axis 103 or the mating connector 300 from the Connecting element 100 can be separated.

In 5 a subassembly 200 is shown.

Subassembly 200 is connected to connector 100 . For this purpose, the connecting element 100 is flanged to the subassembly.

An annular spring element 141 is arranged between the subassembly 200 and the connecting element 100 . The annular spring element 141 pushes the assembled mating connection element away from the subassembly 200 and is secured by the connection element 100 to the subassembly 200 when the handle is not assembled.

In 6 until 9 an assembly of an actuating handle 500 is shown.

A handle 400, which includes the counter-connection element 300 or into which the counter-connection element 300 is glued, is pushed onto the subassembly 200 arranged on the connection element 100, so that the connection element 100, the counter-connection element 300 and, as a result, the handle 400 on the subassembly 200 saves.

A contour of the connecting element 100 is shaped in such a way that the counter-connecting element 300 can only be pushed onto the connecting element 100 in a predetermined position.

In 7 the securing end 109 of the securing element 107 is deflected to the maximum extent and is increasingly pushed by the handle 400 or the mating connection element 300 in the direction of the longitudinal axis 103 or the base receptacle 111 (not shown here).

The connecting element 100 accordingly migrates into a receptacle formed in a counter-base element 301 of the counter-connecting element 300 .

In 8th For the most part, the securing end 109 has been slid into the base receptacle 111 so that the mating connection element 300 can be moved further towards the subassembly 200 and can engage in the spring receptacle 131 .

In 9 the handle 400 is shown in its end position or operating position, in which, for example, the tool holder 137 is below the base holder 111, so that a tool pushed into the tool holder 137 presses the securing end 109 into the base holder 111.

In the operating position, the counter-connection element 300 engages in the spring receptacle 131, for example through corresponding latching elements or latching lugs 303, and is subjected to a force by the annular spring element 141, by which play between the handle 400 and the subassembly 200 is minimized or engaged such counter-pressure is built up that the game is not perceived as disturbing.

Furthermore, in 9 the securing end 109 has jumped out of the base receptacle 111 at least for the most part. In order to support the securing end 109 jumping out of the base receptacle 111, the handle 400 can be subjected to a tensile force, if necessary. Correspondingly, the securing end 109 of the securing element 107 is located in 9 in the backup position.

In the 10 and 11 the mating connection element 300 is shown with latching lugs 303, four of which are formed here by way of example. The latching lugs 303 are spaced apart from one another by recesses, so that securing lugs 141 formed on the connecting element 100 can engage in the recesses and the latching lugs 303 protrude into the spring receptacle 131 . Correspondingly, the annular spring element 401 arranged in the spring receptacle 131 acts on the latching lugs 303 and, as a result, on the mating connection element 300 . This means that the counter-connection element 300 is pressed by the annular spring element 401 away from the subassembly 200 and onto the connection element 100, in particular onto the securing end 109, in order to create a clearance between the counter-connection element 300 and one on the counter-connection element ment 300 arranged handle and the sub-assembly.

In 12 A manufacturing process 600 is illustrated.

The manufacturing method 600 comprises a first assembling step 601 in which a subassembly is arranged on a frame of a component, a second assembling step 603 in which a cover cap is arranged on the subassembly, a third assembling step 605 in which a handle is arranged on the subassembly wherein the handle is retained on the subassembly solely by a connection of the connector of the subassembly to the mating connector of the handle.

The manufacturing method 600 optionally includes a manufacturing step 607 in which the connecting element is manufactured in an injection molding process or a machining process.

Optionally, the manufacturing method 600 includes a manufacturing step 609, in which the mating connection element is manufactured in an injection molding process or a machining process.

In 13 a mating connection element 300 is shown, which comprises a compression spring 305 .

The compression spring 305 is configured to push the mating connection element 300 and the connection element 100 apart in the installed state, as is exemplified in FIG 14 is shown.

The compression spring 305 makes it possible to dispense with the annular spring element 401, since the compression spring 305 braces the mating connection element 300 on the connection element 100, so that the in 14 shown actuating handle 500 can be made of stainless steel and with a correspondingly small material tolerance.

For example, the mating connector 300 may be constructed in two halves and may include webs that secure the compression spring 305 in the mating connector 300 such that the compression spring 305 cannot fall out of the mating connector 300 .
