Abstract

A lever handle structure includes a fixed disk defining an axial hole and having a first side provided with a positioning. catch piece, a driving axial tube rotatably mounted in the axial hole of the fixed disk and having a first end defining a guide slot and an annular groove, a lever handle secured on the driving axial tube for rotating it, a positioning catch ring having an inner wall provided with two lock blocks each secured in the guide slot of the driving axial tube and an outer wall defining an arcuate limit recess receiving the positioning catch piece and having two distal ends each formed with a stop wall for limiting rotation of the driving axial tube, an elastic member secured on the driving axial tube and rested on the positioning catch ring, an actuating ring secured on the driving axial tube and rested on the elastic member, and a positioning member secured in the annular groove of the driving axial tube for preventing detachment of the actuating ring.

A lever handle structure comprising:

a fixed disk (1) having a first side and a second side, said fixed disk (1) defining two positioning holes (11) and an axial hole (12), said first side of said fixed disk (1) provided with two spaced support members (13) and a positioning catch piece (14);
a driving axial tube (2) rotatably mounted in said axial hole (12) of said fixed disk (1) and provided with an annular shoulder (21) rested on said second side of said fixed disk (1), said driving axial tube (2) having a first end protruding outward from said first side of said fixed disk (1) and defining a guide slot (22) and an annular groove (24);
a lever handle (3) secured on a second end of said driving axial tube (2) for rotating said driving axial tube (2);
a positioning catch ring (4) secured on said first end of said driving axial tube (2) to rotate therewith and rested on said first side of said fixed disk (1), said positioning catch ring (4) having an inner wall provided with two opposite lock blocks (41) each secured in said guide slot (22) of said driving axial tube (2) and having an outer wall defining an arcuate limit recess (42) for slidably receiving said positioning catch piece (14) of said fixed disk (1) therein, said limit recess (42) of said positioning catch ring (4) having two distal ends each formed with a stop wall (43) detachably rested on said positioning catch piece (14) of said fixed disk (1) for limiting rotation of said driving axial tube (2);
an elastic member (15) secured on said first end of said driving axial tube (2) and rested on said positioning catch ring (4), said elastic member (15) having two ends each rested on said support member (13) of said fixed disk (1);
an actuating ring (23) secured on said first end of said driving axial tube (2) to rotate therewith and rested on said elastic member (15);
and
a positioning member (25) secured in said annular groove (24) of said driving axial tube (2) to rotate therewith and rested on said actuating ring (23) for preventing detachment of said actuating ring (23).
