Benefits of technology

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide an operating handle that is particularly simple and inexpensive to produce and features a high level of stability.
[0004] This object is achieved by an operating handle having a first and a second tubular handle element. The tubular handle elements form a hollow space. A connecting link for connecting the first and second tubular handle elements is provided. The connecting link projects into the hollow space formed by the handle elements. The connecting segment is designed to connect to the first handle element and the second connecting segment is designed to connect to the second handle element. The first and / or second connecting segment has a screw-in thread that can be forced into engagement with connecting agents arranged on the first and / or second handle segments. The first and / or second connecting segment has a supporting surface for resting against the inner surface of the handle element. The screw-in thread is arranged in the region of the supporting surface. In this way, a stable connection of two handle elements is achieved using a single connecting link. As a result of the supporting surfaces resting against the inside of the handle element, forces are transferred in an especially effective manner. Since only one connecting link is needed to connect the two handle elements, manufacturing costs can be greatly reduced.

Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of this known construction is that is complicated to manufacture and consequently expensive, particularly since two connecting links are needed to connect two handle elements.
Furthermore, the known operating handles lack stability at the points of connection of the individual handle elements.

Embodiment Construction

[0017] FIG. 1 shows an operating handle 1 for devices. In particular, the operating handle can be used for wiping devices, mops, brooms, or the like. In this context, the operating handle 1 has a plurality of tubular handle elements 2, 2' which are able to be joined to one another. At the upper end, the operating handle 1 has a grip 3, which is arranged at one end of the first handle element 2, and which terminates the first handle element 2 in an upward direction. Although not illustrated, identically formed handle elements can be added at the lower end of the second handle element 2'. In this way, it is possible to produce a comparatively long total length of the operating handle 1 using relatively short handle elements 2, 2'. This is particularly advantageous when the operating handle 1 is to be packaged in relatively small packaging.

[0018] For connecting the first handle element 2 and the second handle element 2', a first connecting link 4 is provided. A comparable and identical...

Abstract

An operating handle (1) for devices, particularly for cleaning devices, such as wiping devices, mops, brooms, or the like. The operating handle (1) has at least a first and a second tubular handle element (2, 2') which are able to be joined to one another. The tubular handle elements (2, 2') form a hollow space (5). A connecting link (4, 4') is provided for connecting the first and the second handle element (2, 2'). The connecting link (4, 4') extends at least partially into the hollow space (5) formed by the handle elements (2, 2'). A first connecting segment (6) and a second connecting segment (7) are provided. The first connecting segment (6) is designed to connect to the first handle element (2), and the second connecting segment (7) is designed to connect to the second handle element (2'). The first and / or second connecting segment (6, 7) has a screw-in thread (11, 11') which is forced into engagement with connecting agents (8) arranged on the first and / or second handle element (2, 2'). The first and / or second connecting segment (6, 7) has a supporting surface (9, 9') for resting against the inner surface (10) of the handle element (2, 2'). The screw-in thread (11, 11') is arranged in the region of the supporting surface (9, 9').

Description

FILED OF THE INVENTION[0001] The present invention relates to a operating handle for devices, in particular cleaning devices, such as wiping devices, mops, brooms, or the like.[0002] Two-piece operating handles per se are known. However, they are designed in such a way that to connect two tubular handle elements, two connecting links are provided. One link affixed to the first handle element and the other link affixed to the second handle element. In this context, one of the connecting links has an assembling pin with a screw thread, and the other has a corresponding thread. The disadvantage of this known construction is that is complicated to manufacture and consequently expensive, particularly since two connecting links are needed to connect two handle elements. Furthermore, the known operating handles lack stability at the points of connection of the individual handle elements.SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide an operating ha...
