ffeury E. Baker United States Patent SWIVEL HASP Henry E. Becker, Roseland, N. J.
Application May 10, 1956, Serial No. 584,130
2 Claims. (Cl. 292-285) The present invention relates to swivel hasps of the type which provide a firm joint for rigidly locking the opposing edges of the relatively swingable parts of a door together, against angular displacement.
The object of this invention is to provide a door hasp which, when in locked position, will hold the swingable parts rigidly against any tendency to swing from the fully closed position, such as might be caused by Wind, etc.
A further object is to provide forward and aft rigidity to a closed door, single or double, when the hasp is in locked position, by a novel construction of hasp adaptable for sliding as well as swinging doors.
A further object is to firmly fix a strong tongue portion of a door hasp to one of two relatively swingable parts of a door so that the tongue extends over the adjacent edge of the other door part when closed, and to fix a plate portion of the hasp to said edge, for the tongue to rest against, the plate being provided with a lug at one side of the tongue and a wedge swiveled to said plate at the other side of the tongue for swivelling over the top of the tongue and wedging under the adjacent edge of said lug to fix said tongue firmly to said plate.
A further object is to provide matching eyelet lugs on the above plate and wedge, respectively, so that the. eye lets will be brought together upon swivelling the wedge into wedged position, for receiving the hoop or shank of any suitable locking means to lock the hasp.
A further object is to position the plate eyelet lug to serve also as the wedge lug.
Other and more specific objects will appear in the following detailed description of one form of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a front elevational view of a double swinging door partly broken away to conserve space, showing the hasp mounted on the doors in unlocked position,
Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail view of the hasp, and
Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view through the hasp taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2.
The two panels and 11 of the double door shown in the drawing are hinged to open outwardly on hinges 12 fixed to the side posts 13 of the door frame 14.
In garage doors of this type, it has been customary to bolt one or both door panels inside at the top and/or bottom, to prevent partial swinging of the doors, while locked together by a hasp or other locking means, in response to wind or other pressure effects.
The present invention prevents such partial swinging and looseness without resorting to any bolting of the door panels from the inside.
The hasp illustrated comprises a substantially flat .tongue portion 15 which may be firmly fixed to one of the relatively swinging parts of the door, in the present instance the panel 11, as by screws 16. Rivets or other rigid fixing means may be used in place of screws 16.
A plate 17 is fixed, as by screws 18, to the other part of the door, which in the present instance is the panel 10, in a position to receive the tongue 15 flat against it when the door is closed. Plate 17 is provided with manual latching means consisting of a lug 19 at the lower side of the tongue 15, and a wedge 20 swiveled at the upper side thereof, for swivelling over the outer face of the tongue 15 and wedging its annular wedged part under an undercut edge 21 of the lug 19. This wedge is provided with 2,855,237 Patented Oct. 7, 1958 an ear 22 for manually turning it about its swivel and wedging it under the edge of the lug. In doing so the wedge presses the tongue against the plate to fix it firmly thereagainst and form a rigid joint between the door parts, with no looseness or tendency to swing partially open under wind or other pressure effects.
The car 22 may be provided with an eyelet 23 which is brought close to a similar eyelet 24 on the lug 19, when the wedge 20 is swivelled into closed position as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The openings in the eyelets 23 and 24 match, so that the hoop 25 of a hasp lock 26, or other locking shank, may be passed therethrough for locking the hasp in closed position.
The tongue 15 may be reenforced by ribbing 27, without adding much weight, to provide a strong rigid bridge across the joint between the doors. The tongue may also be offset at 28 to extend fiush over the plate 17 when the outer faces of the door parts are in the same plane on both sides of the joint.
The screws 18 may be replaced by more permanent fixing means if desired, such as rivets or headless bolts, and the swivel may be provided with a permanently mounted pivot, so as to prevent illegal entry by easy removal of the fastenings.
Many other obvious modifications in the form and arrangement of parts may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, as defined in the appended claims.
What is claimed is:
1. A door hasp comprising an elongated relatively flat tongue to be rigidly secured to one of two relatively swinging parts of a door, a plate to be rigidly secured to the other door part with said tongue engaging the face of said plate when said door is closed, latch means for holding said door in closed position comprising a wedge member pivotally mounted on said plate above said tongue, said wedge member being pivotally movable from a position above said tongue, permitting free movement of said tongue and door, to a latching position overlapping said tongue, a lug extending outwardly from said plate below said tongue, an overhanging portion on said lug engaging said wedge member when in latching position to firmly hold the same in engagement with said tongue to prevent movement of said tongue and door, an car on said wedge member for facilitating manipulation thereof and aligned apertures in said ear and lug for receiving locking means to hold said wedge member in latching position.
2. A door hasp comprising an elongated relatively flat tongue to be rigidly secured to one of two relatively swinging parts of a door, a plate to be rigidly secured to the other door part with said tongue engaging the face of said plate when said door is closed, latch means for holding said door in closed position comprising a wedge member pivotally mounted on said plate on one side of said tongue, said wedge member being pivotally movable from a position to one side of said tongue, permitting free movement of said tongue and door, to a latching position overlapping said tongue, a lug extending outwardly from said plate on the opposite side of said tongue and an overhanging portion on said lug engaging said wedge member when in latching position to firmly hold the same in engagement with said tongue to prevent movement of said tongue and door.
