    S&F Ref: P048739 AUSTRALIA PATENTS ACT 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION FOR A STANDARD PATENT Name and Address Austral Lock Pty Ltd, of Applicant: an Australian company, ACN 133 801 662, of 31-33 Alfred Street, Blackburn, Victoria, 3130, Australia Actual Inventor(s): David Greenbury Address for Service: Spruson & Ferguson St Martins Tower Level 35 31 Market Street Sydney NSW 2000 (CCN 3710000177) Invention Title: A door or window handle The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me/us: iP Austral ia 2 EEB 2013 RECEivED PL 5845c(7133600_1) 1 A DOOR OR WINDOW HANDLE Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a door or window handle. The invention has been developed primarily for use with pivotal handles for 5 hinged doors or windows and fixed handles for sliding doors or windows, and will be described hereinafter with reference to these applications. However the invention is not limited to these particular application and is also suitable for bi-fold doors or windows. Background of the Invention Some building codes specify a minimum clearance or gap from the underside of 10 a handle to a door face. The door face is whatever part of the door is behind the central gripping portion of the handle. In Australia, the relevant standard is AS1428.1-2009 "Design for access and mobility Part 1: General Requirements for Access - New Building Work". The door face, having the surface against which the clearance is referenced, can is be of various materials including glass, mesh, aluminium or timber. For glass or mesh doors with an external frame, there is usually a height change, relative to the handle, from the frame surface (on which the door handle is mounted) and the surface of the glass mesh. This height change varies greatly for different door types and designs. The height change can also vary from one side of a door to the other due to glass or mesh being 20 positioned non-centrally within the frame. A disadvantage of known handles is the height change, and the affect it has on the clearance between the underside of the handle and the door face, greatly limits the number of door configurations that a particular handle can be mounted and satisfy the clearance requirement. This is because a handle that meets the clearance requirement 25 when fixed to one door may not meet the clearance requirement when fixed to another. This requires door handle manufactures to produce specific door handles to suit each door design which is both expensive and requires sophisticated inventory control for correct order and supply. Object of the Invention 30 It is an object of the present invention to substantially overcome or at least ameliorate the above disadvantage.
    2 Summary of the Invention Accordingly, the present invention provides a door or window handle, the handle including: a first handle part with an outer surface; s at least one second handle part, each of the at least one second handle part or parts having at least one inner surface; and an adjustable means adapted to allow the position of the inner surface(s) of the second handle part(s) to be adjusted relative to the position of the first handle part. The handle preferably includes one second handle part having one inner surface. 10 The second handle part is preferably mounted to the first handle part by the adjustable means. In one form, the adjustable means allows the position of the second handle part to be adjusted linearly relative to the first handle part. In another form, the adjustable means allows the position of the second handle part to be adjusted arcuately relative to the is first handle part. The first handle part preferably includes a gripping portion. The gripping portion preferably includes the outer surface. The second handle part is preferably mounted to the gripping portion. In one form, the handle includes a mounting portion adjacent to an end the gripping portion. In another form, the handle includes a pair of 20 mounting portions, each adjacent to opposite ends of the gripping portion respectively. In one embodiment, the door handle is adapted for mounting to an escutcheon. In another embodiment, the door handle forms part of, or is adapted for mounting to, a lock body. In a further embodiment, the door handle is adapted for mounting to a door. In a yet further embodiment, the door handle is adapted for mounting to a window. 25 Brief Description of the Drawings Preferred embodiments will now be described, by way of examples only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Fig. I is a top view of a door handle arrangement with a pair of door handles according to a first embodiment; 30 Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional top view of the door handle arrangement shown in Fig. I; Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the one of the door handles shown in Fig. 1; 3 Fig. 4 is a partially exploded perspective view of the door handle shown in Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is an exterior perspective view of the door handle arrangement shown in Fig. 1; s Fig. 6 is an interior perspective view of the door handle arrangement shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional top view of a door handle according to a second embodiment; Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional top side view of a door handle according to a third to embodiment; Fig. 9 is a top view of a door handle arrangement with a pair of door handles according to a fourth embodiment; Fig. 10 is a cross-sectional top view of the door handle arrangement shown in Fig. 9; 15 Fig. 11 is an exploded perspective view of the one of the door handles shown in Fig. 9; Fig. 12 is a partial exploded perspective view of the door handle shown in Fig. 11; Fig. 13 is an exterior perspective view of the handle arrangement shown in Fig. 20 9; Fig. 14 is an interior perspective view of the handle arrangement shown in Fig. 9; Fig. 15 is an exploded perspective view of a fifth embodiment of a door handle; Fig. 16 is a top view of a sixth embodiment of a door handle; and Fig. 17 is a cross-sectional top view of the door handle shown in Fig. 16. 25 Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments Figs. I to 6 show a door handle arrangement 20 with a first embodiment of an interior door handle 22a and an identical exterior door handle 22b. The door handle arrangement 20 is for a hinged (i.e. pivoting) type of door. The door handles 22a and 22b are pivotally mounted to interior escutcheon 24a 30 and exterior escutcheon 24b respectively, with a drive shaft 25 connected therebetween. The escutcheons 24a and 24b are mounted to a hinged aluminium door frame 26. A latch assembly 27 is mounted within the door frame 26, which is connected to the drive shaft 25.
    4 A glass door panel 28 is non-centrally mounted in the door frame 26. As a result, the interior face 28a of the panel 28 is nearer to the interior handle 22a than the exterior face 28b is to the exterior handle 22b. The handle 22a shall now be described in more detail with reference to Figs. 3 5 and 4, with the description applying equally to the handle 22b. As best seen in Fig. 3, the handle 22a includes a first handle part 30 with an outer (i.e. outwardly facing when installed) surface 30a. The handle 28 also includes a second handle part 32 with an inner (i.e. inwardly facing when installed) surface 32a. The first handle part 30 is the portion of the handle 22a that is gripped during operation (i.e. the gripping portion). 1o The handle 22a also includes a mounting portion 34 which includes a spigot 34a which is connected to the escutcheon 24a and the drive shaft 25. A pair of retaining plates 36a and 36b are fastened to the second handle part 32. The plates 36a and 36b retain a pair of adjusting screws 38a and 38b relative to the second handle part 32 in such a way as to prevent relative longitudinal movement and but is to allow relative pivotal movement. As best shown in Fig. 4, the screws 38a and 38b are are able to be pivoted or rotated by an Allen key 40 relative to the second handle part 32. This is due to the enlarged heads 42a and 42b of the screws 38a and 38b being held longitudinally captive relative to the second handle part 32 by the retaining plates 36a and 36b respectively. 20 Returning to Fig. 2, the handle 22a includes a pair of inwardly directed threaded bosses 44a and 44b. The second handle part 32 is mounted to the first handle part 30 by screwing the screws 38a and 38b into threaded engagement with the bosses 44a and 44b respectively. Pivoting or rotating the screws 38a and 38b into engagement with the bosses 44a 25 and 44b drives the second handle part 32 towards the first handle part 30 and, as a result, away from the glass panel 28. This allows the clearance between the inwardly facing surface of the handle, being the inner surface 32a of the second handle part 32, and the adjacent face 28a of the glass panel 28 to be adjusted in order to meet applicable building codes. For example, in relation to the Australian Standard previously mentioned, the 30 clearance must fall within the range of 35 to 45mm. As can be seen Figs. 1 and 2, this clearance is achieved for the interior handle 22a by engaging the screws 42 with the bosses 44 to almost their full extent. The glass panel 28 is further away from the exterior handle 22b than the interior handle 22a. As a result, a lesser amount of engagement is required to position the inner surface 32a of the second handle part 32 of the exterior 35 handle 22b within the 35 to 45mm range from the adjacent face 28b of the glass panel 28.
    5 The ability to adjust the clearance described above advantageously allows the handles 22 to be adjusted to meet the clearance requirements of a relevant standard for a wide variety of door designs and obviates the need for multiple specific door handles to suit respective multiple door designs. This in turn reduces the requirement for inventory 5 control and reduces the opportunity for incorrect order or supply. Further embodiments of door handles will now be described, with like reference numerals being used to indicate like features. Fig. 7 shows a second embodiment of a door handle which is very similar to that described with reference to Figs. I to 6. However, the door handle 60 includes a spring 10 arrangement 62 which biases the second handle part 32 towards the first handle part 30. This biasing reduces the likelihood of the second part 32 cocking or jamming whilst being adjusted towards or away from the first handle part 30. Fig. 8 shows a third embodiment of handle 70, similar to the second embodiment shown in Fig. 7. However, the handle 70 includes a pair of spring assemblies 72a and is 72b, each associated with one of the adjusting screws 44a and 44b respectively. As with the second embodiment, the spring assemblies 72a and 72b reduce the likelihood of cocking or jamming during adjustment of the position of the second handle part 32. Figs. 9 to 14 show a fourth embodiment of door handles 80a and 80b. The door handles 80a and 80b are of the fixed (i.e. non pivotal) type for a sliding type of door. The 20 door handles 80 are mounted to a sliding aluminium door frame 82 by a mounting portion 84 either side of a central gripping portion 86. The adjustment of the second handle part 32 relative to the first handle part 30, and thus relative to the adjacent door panel face, is identical to that described in relation to the first embodiment. Fig. 15 shows a fifth embodiment of a door handle 90, which is very similar to 25 the fourth embodiment described with reference to Figs. 9 to 14. However, in this embodiment, there are four adjusting screws 38a, 38b, 38c, and 38d mounting the second handle part 32 to the first handle part 30, two adjacent the gripping portion of the handle 22a and two adjacent the mounting portion of the handle 22a. Also, similar to the second and third embodiments, the handle 90 includes spring assemblies 92a, 92b, 92c and 92d 30 associated with each of the adjusting screws 38a, 38b, 38c, and 38d respectively in order to prevent cocking or jamming during adjustment. Figs. 16 and 17 show a sixth embodiment of door handles 100a and 100b which are similar to the fifth embodiment described with reference to Fig. 15. However, in this embodiment, the proximal ends of the second handle parts 32 are pivotally mounted to the 35 proximal ends of the first handle parts 30, for pivotal movement about axes 102a and 6 102b respectively. The distal region of the second handle part 32 is mounted to the distal region of the first handle part 30 by adjusting screws 44a and 44b, identical to those previously described. As a result, during the previously described adjustments, the second handle part 32 undergoes an arcuate movement relative to the first handle part 30 5 (as opposed to the linear movement previously described). Although the invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, it will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the invention can be embodied in many other forms.
