Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it impossible to expose heads of screws, bolts, etc., used for mounting handles to a glass door. CONSTITUTION:Two handle bearing fittings 4 and 5 mounted to both sides of a glass door and opposed to each other are fixed to the glass door with a screw inserted into one handle bearing fitting. Handles 2 and 3 fitted to the outsides of the handle bearing fittings are screwed into screw holes in the handle bearing fittings of a nut 11 with countersunk screws 8 and 9 through washers 6 and 7 to fix. Facing caps 12 and 13 are fitted and fixed to cover the outside surfaces of the washers. According to the constitution, the outsides of the handles screwed to the handle bearing fittings projected to both internal and external sides of the glass door through the washers are such that the outside surfaces of handle mounting sections are covered with the facing caps, so that heads of the screws are not exposed, and they look fine externally.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mounting device for attaching a handle to a glass door so that the heads of screws, bolts, etc. are not exposed.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art A handle for opening and closing a glass door is attached to the glass door. When this handle is made of the same glass plate as the glass door, bolts are used to attach the handle.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] If the heads of the bolts and screws for attaching the handle are exposed at the handle portion, the external design is spoiled and there is a risk of tampering.

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a handle made of glass that has a neat appearance and is easy to attach.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made to achieve the above object.
Two handle supports facing each other are fixed to the glass door 1 with a screw inserted into one of the handle supports, and a handle that is applied to the outside of the handle support is fixed with a countersunk screw via a washer. The gist is that the washer is fixed by screwing into a screw hole or nut inside the washer, and the outer surface of the washer is covered by a decorative cap fitted and fixed.

[0006]

[Operation] After the handle is attached to the washer that protrudes to the outside of the handle, which is fixed to the handle support provided on both sides of the glass door via a countersunk screw, a decorative cap is fitted to cover it. Therefore, all the screws, including the head of the countersunk screw, are not exposed from the outside, so the exterior can be stored neatly.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be explained below based on the illustrated embodiments. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a glass door having the required strength, size, and shape, and handles 2 and 3 are provided on both the front and back surfaces of the glass door 1 at predetermined positions. The handles 2 and 3 have a flat plate shape suitable for use as handles, have a required size, and are fixed to the glass door 1 via the mounting fittings of the present invention.

[0008] The mounting bracket is attached to the glass door 1 as shown in the figure in detail.
two handle supports 4 that protrude symmetrically on the front and back sides of the
5, washers 6, 7 which cooperate with the handle supports 4, 5 to hold the handles 2, 3, and screws 8, 9, 10 for mounting the handles.

The handle support 4 also serves as a retainer for fixing the glass door 1 and the handle 2 to each other at a required distance, and is usually made of plastic, metal, etc. into a cylindrical shape, with a screw hole 41 in the center. A concave groove 42 is formed on the central outer circumferential surface for fixing the handle support 4 to a decorative outer cylinder 43 surrounding the outer periphery thereof.

Similarly to the handle support 4, the other handle support 5 has a decorative outer cylinder 53 fitted on its outer periphery and has the same size and shape. 2,
As shown in FIG. 3, it is formed into a two-part shape, and a recess 51 into which the head 10T of the screw 10 for fixing to the glass door 1 is inserted is formed inside the longitudinal axis. A square nut fitting groove 52 is provided on the same axis, and a screw insertion hole 54 is provided projecting through the handle support 5 through the recess 51 and the square nut fitting groove 52. Also, when two of these two halves of the handle support 5 are put together, they form a single cylindrical body, similar to the handle support 4, and a recess is formed on the outer periphery for fixing the decorative outer cylinder 53. A groove is formed.

Washers 6 and 7 are made of a required material such as metal or synthetic resin, and have a disc shape approximately equal to the outer diameter of the handle supports 4 and 5, and have countersunk screws 8 and 9 on the outer side of the center. head 8T
, 9T are fitted, and the washers 6, 7 are fixed to the handle supports 4, 5 with the screws 8, 9.
Decorative caps 12 and 13 are fitted to cover the outer surfaces of. In the figure, 14, 15, and 16 are glass door 1 and handle 2.
, 3 is a cylindrical packing that fits into the mounting holes 1H, 2H, 3H drilled in 17, 18, 19, 20, 2.
1 and 22 are flat disk-shaped packings.

Next, attachment of the handle will be explained. Either of the handle supports 4 and 5 may be on the outside of the door, and one mounting order will be explained below.
As long as the tightening of the caps and the attachment of the cosmetic caps 12 and 13 are the last operations, there is no problem even if the order of attachment is reversed. Packing 15 in the mounting hole 1T of the glass door
are fitted, and the handle supports 4 and 5 are sandwiched between the packings 19 and 20 on both the front and back sides of the glass door 1 along the outer periphery of the mounting hole. In this case, before the two-piece handle support 5 is fitted into the outer cylinder 53 and integrated, the recess 5 is formed.
1, fit the head 10T of the screw 10 into the screw insertion hole 54.
A screw 10 shall be passed through the inside.

When fixing the two handle supports 4 and 5 facing each other with the glass door 1 in between, insert and rotate the screw 10 from the handle support 5 side with a screwdriver.
is screwed into the screw hole of the other handle support 4, and becomes integral with the glass door 1 as shown in FIG. Before integrating the two handle supports 4 and 5 with screws 10, the handle 2 is applied to the outer end surface of the handle support 4 through a packing 18, and a washer is attached through the packing 17 to the handle support 4. 6 is fixed with a countersunk screw 8, or after the handle support 4 is fixed to the glass door, the countersunk screw 8 is screwed into the screw hole 41 of the handle support 4 and fixed. A packing 14 is fitted into the hole 2H of the handle support 4 so that the countersunk screw 8 does not come into direct contact with the handle 2.

Next, the handle 3 is attached to the outer end surface of the other handle support 5 via the packing 21 in the same manner, and the washer 7 is applied to the outer surface of this 3 via the packing 22. The handle 3 is fixed by screwing a countersunk screw 9 into a square nut 11 provided inside the handle support 5. After fixing the handles 2 and 3 to the handle supports 4 and 5 protruding from both the inner and outer sides of the glass door 1 in this manner, the decorative caps 12 and 13 are attached to cover the outer surfaces of the washers 6 and 7, respectively. Fit into place. The decorative caps 12 and 13 can be fixed by being tightly fitted, but they are fixed by applying an adhesive or using double-sided adhesive tape.

[0015]

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, the outer surface of the handle that is screwed through a washer to the handle support protruding from both the inner and outer sides of the door glass is covered with a decorative cap on the outer surface of the attachment part. It has the advantage that the screw head is not exposed and the appearance is neat.
