Abstract

A door furniture mounting assembly ( 10, 10 ′) including a relatively smaller rosette ( 12 ) with a handle side and a door side. The door side of the rosette ( 12 ) includes at least one exterior recess ( 24 ) adapted for rotational and axial engagement with at least one inwardly extending protuberance ( 32 ) on the door side of a relatively larger rosette sleeve ( 30 ).

Claims (24)

1. A door furniture mounting assembly for mounting of a handle or knob set to doors having mounting holes of differing sizes, the assembly including:

a substantially cylindrical rosette, having a first external diameter, with a handle side and a door side, the door side of the rosette including at least one exterior recess adapted for rotational and axial engagement with at least one inwardly extending protuberance on a door side of a substantially cylindrical rosette sleeve, having a second external diameter larger than the first external diameter, the at least one exterior recess and at least one inwardly extending protuberance being concealed by the rosette sleeve when so engaged with the rosette, wherein the rosette includes an engagement means adapted for an interference fit engagement with a first decorative cap.

2. The door furniture assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one exterior recess of the rosette includes 3 equiangularly spaced apart recesses.

3. The door furniture assembly as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the at least one inwardly extending protuberance of the rosette sleeve includes 3 equiangularly spaced apart protuberances.

4. The door furniture assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one exterior recess extends from the door side through about half of the axial dimension of the rosette.

5. The door furniture assembly as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the at least one inwardly extending protuberance extends from the door side through about half of the axial dimension of the rosette sleeve.

6. The door furniture assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rosette is adapted for mounting of a handle or knob thereto.

7. The door furniture assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rosette sleeve includes an engagement means adapted for an interference fit engagement with a second decorative cap, the second decorative cap being larger than the first decorative cap.

8. The door furniture assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rosette includes a notch adapted to allow a privacy snib actuator to be received therethrough.

9. The door furniture assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in use, the rosette sleeve is secured to the door by the at least one inwardly extending protuberance being sandwiched between the door and the rosette within the at least one exterior recess.

10. A door furniture mounting assembly for mounting of a handle or knob set to doors having mounting holes of differing sizes, the assembly including:

a substantially cylindrical rosette, having a first external diameter, with a handle side and a door side, the door side of the rosette including at least one exterior recess, wherein the rosette includes an engagement means adapted for an interference fit engagement with a first decorative cap; and

a substantially cylindrical rosette sleeve, having a second external diameter larger than the first external diameter, including at least one inwardly extending protuberance adapted to rotationally and axially engage with the at least one exterior recess, the at least one exterior recess and the at least one inwardly extending protuberance being concealed by the rosette sleeve when so engaged with the rosette.

11. The door furniture assembly as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the at least one exterior recess of the rosette includes 3 equiangularly spaced apart recesses.

12. The door furniture assembly as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the at least one inwardly extending protuberance of the rosette sleeve includes 3 equiangularly spaced apart protuberances.

13. The door furniture assembly as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the at least one exterior recess extends from the door side through about half of the axial dimension of the rosette.

14. The door furniture assembly as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the at least one inwardly extending protuberance extends from the door side through about half of the axial dimension of the rosette sleeve.

15. The door furniture assembly as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the rosette is adapted for mounting of a handle or knob thereto.

16. The door furniture assembly as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the rosette sleeve includes an engagement means adapted for an interference fit engagement with a second decorative cap, the second decorative cap being larger than the first decorative cap.

17. The door furniture assembly as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the rosette includes a notch adapted to allow a privacy snib actuator to be received therethrough.

18. The door furniture assembly as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the rosette sleeve includes a notch adapted to allow the privacy snib actuator to be received therethrough.

19. The door furniture assembly as claimed in claim 18 , wherein the first decorative cap includes a notch adapted to allow the privacy snib actuator to be received therethrough.

20. The door furniture assembly as claimed in claim 19 , wherein the second decorative cap includes a notch adapted to allow the privacy snib actuator to be received therethrough.

21. The door furniture assembly as claimed in claim 10 , wherein, in use, the rosette sleeve is secured to the door by the at least one inwardly extending protuberance being sandwiched between the door and the rosette within the at least one exterior recess.
