Handle apparatus
View Patent ↗An apparatus includes a linkage having an axis of rotation, a handle member being linked to the linkage, a stop member connected to the handle member, and a guide member defining an engagement region aligned with the stop member such that a portion of the stop member engages the engagement region.
1. An apparatus, comprising:
a linkage having an axis of rotation;
a handle member being linked to the linkage;
a stop member connected to the handle member, wherein the stop member comprises:
a stop portion having a first impeding portion arranged at a first distal end of the stop portion and a second impeding portion arranged at a second distal end of the stop portion, the stop portion including a shaft portion configured to slidably engage an orifice defined by the handle member; and
a biasing member configured to contact the handle member and the first impeding portion; and
a guide member defining an engagement region aligned with the stop member such that a portion of the stop member is configured to engage the engagement region.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus includes a panel assembly, and the handle member is disposed between a portion of the panel assembly and a portion of the guide member.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the biasing member is configured to exert an expansive force on the handle member and the first impeding portion.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the stop member comprises:
a bushing member configured to engage the stop portion; and
a biasing member configured to contact the handle member and the bushing member.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the biasing member is configured to exert an expansive force on the handle member and the bushing member.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the engagement region defined by the guide member defines an arcuate shape.
7. An apparatus comprising:
a linkage having an axis of rotation;
a handle member being linked to the linkage, wherein the handle member defines an orifice;
a guide member defining an engagement region; and
a stop member linked to the handle member, the stop member defining longitudinal axis, the stop member including a biasing member that is configured to exert a force on a portion of the stop member to extend the portion of the stop member to engage the engagement region, wherein the stop member comprises:
a stop portion having a first distal end and a second distal end;
a first impeding portion arranged at the first distal end of the stop portion;
a second impeding portion arranged at the second distal end of the stop portion, the stop portion including a shaft portion configured to slidably engage the orifice defined by the handle member; and
a biasing member configured to contact the handle member and the first impeding portion.
8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the handle member is disposed between a portion of a panel assembly and a portion of the guide member assembly.
9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the biasing member is configured to exert an expansive force on the handle member and the first impeding portion.
10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the stop member comprises:
a bushing member configured to engage the stop portion; and
a biasing member configured to contact the handle member and the bushing member.
11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the biasing member is configured to exert an expansive force on the handle member and the bushing member.
12. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the engagement region defined by the guide member defines an arcuate shape.
13. An apparatus comprising:
a panel having an outer surface and a region defined by the outer surface; and
a handle device comprising:
a linkage having an axis of rotation, the linkage is arranged to pass through the region defined by the outer surface of the panel;
a handle member being linked to the linkage;
a stop member connected to the handle member, wherein the stop member comprises:
a stop portion having a first distal end and a second distal end;
a first impeding portion arranged at the first distal end of the stop portion;
a second impeding portion arranged at the second distal end of the stop portion, the stop portion including a shaft portion arranged to slidably engage the engagement region defined by the handle member; and
a biasing member configured to contact the handle member and the first impeding portion; and
a guide member defining an engagement region aligned with the stop member such that a portion of the stop member is configured to engage the engagement region defined by the guide member.
14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the guide member is connected to the outer surface of the panel.
15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the stop member comprises:
a bushing member engaging the stop portion; and
a biasing member contacting the handle member and the bushing member.
