About Ossh Multifunktionnelle Grëff

Ossh ass e multifunktionnelle Grëff an eng intuitiv Beliichtungsinterface op der Dier. Ossh weist Fluchtweeër a kritesche Bedéngungen un; kommunizéiert Gestiounsinformatioun; mécht eng 24/7 Desinfektiounsaktioun duerch d'Emissioun vu Sëlwer an aner metallesch Ionen. Sanitär ass wéinst dem Esi antimikrobiellen System, eng Technologie déi de Corona Virus ëmbréngt, getest an zertifizéiert vum Laboratoire fir Virologie op der Universitéit vu Modena e Reggio. Ossh ass verfügbar a Kits fir a verschiddenen Ëmfeld ze passen: Stand Alone fir Privatsphär; Drot fir Feier Dieren; Wi-Fi fir an domotesche Systemer integréiert ze ginn.

Unique Properties
Ossh is a multifunctional door handle system featuring safety and managements applications. Lighting up in critical conditions Ossh addresses people to safe escape routes. Ossh is available in kits: Stand Alone, for privacy; Wired, for fire doors; Wi-fi to be integrated in domotic systems. Applications are countless and may be customized to meet special needs. Ossh features esi, a permanent antimicrobial anodic protection from viral and bacterial contamination. Tested and certified to kill corona virus, Ossh sanitizes the environment and the hand while opening the door.
Dimensions & Packaging
OSSH handles dimensions: 131x35x55 mm
Tags
door handles, handles, antimicrobic handles, corona virus killer handles, luminous intelligent handles, firedoors, marine hardware
Production Technology
The system is composed by: lock and striker plate with power and data transfer device; a pair of door handles with escutcheons. Handles are made of light alloy 6082 anticorodal, finished with esi antimicrobial system, the special permanent anodic protection ; rgb led stripe and an acrylic insert for light diffusion.
Design Challenge
In case of fire it is wise to crawl on the floor where smokeF is more rarefied. Ossh was initially designed for fire doors with a revolutionary iconic double lever shape that allowed it to be challenged from the ground. Tests and meetings with clients led us to modify the design into a more classic L shaped lever with 32 LED's to be visible in the smoke. The coronavirus pandemic was an important push to improve the anodic protection from antibacterial to antimicrobial. Ossh surface cannot be contaminated by corona virus or others.
Research
Ossh handles operate as intuitive lighting interfaces to indicate escape routes in critical conditions. The function related to fire doors highlighted strong demand of applications in anti intrusion and evacuation plans as well as during a power failure. The simulation of these cases led us to develop the wi-fi integration in domotic systems. Ossh performs a 24/7 disinfecting action, through the constant emission of silver and other metallic ions. Tested and certified by the laboratory of virology at the University of Modena e Reggio Ossh kills corona virus, sanitizes the environment and the hand.
Inspiration
F.lli Razeto e Casareto s.p.a. designs and makes locks and doors accessories since 1920. In 2000 the Innovation & Design lab was founded with the precise task of brining a revolution in the world of door handles. Our handles are multifunctional and carry unprecedented applications. We patented a cable free power and data transfer system to illuminate door handles. Our handles are meant as a luminous extra signage to give safety and management informations i.e the best escape route during a black out, a fire , an evacuation plan.
Project Duration
The project started in Sori in 2018 and was closed in 2020. It was showcased at Salone Nautico di Genova in September 2020. Anti microbial properties were studied in Narni at Paolini S.p.A. and certified with laboratory tests at Università di Modena e Reggio during the lockdown and the pandemic.
Operation Flow
Ossh is available in kits, each one performing specific functions according to the environment. Stand Alone: when the door is locked closed the handle lights up red. Wired: in case of fire handles light up green on one side and red on the other side of the door to indicate if an escape route is safe or not. The proprietary communication protocol helps handles and the c.p.u. interact with external safety systems. Wi-fi: handles interact with other devices and change their own color accordingly. The 24/7 disinfecting action is due to the constant emission of silver and other metallic ions.
