Description

100/011 Regulation 3.2
AUSTRALIA
Patents Act 1990
ORIGINAL
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION STANDARD PATENT Invention title: Electric strike The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to us: dxbmM01109971610000000 27.8.2001 Page 1 Electric strike Field of the invention The invention relates to electric strikes for doors and the like for mounting in a door frame or the like.
Background of the invention A strike for a door frame is a device for releasably retaining a latch bolt mounted on a door in the door frame. Electric strikes are strikes containing a solenoid for either locking or unlocking a strike by energising the solenoid.
An electric strike is described as fail safe if the strike is in an unlocked state when the solenoid is de-energised but may be locked from the unlocked position by energising the solenoid. An electric strike is described as fail secure if the strike is in a locked state when the solenoid is de-energised but may be unlocked from the locked position by energising the solenoid.
Fail safe electric strikes are used in many applications where it is desired that doors employing the strikes may be opened in the event that power is lost. Likewise, fail secure electric strikes are used in many applications where it is desired that doors employing the strikes will remain locked in the event that power is lost.
It is desirable to have a single electric strike that may embody both fail safe and fail secure 0 *20 modes of operation.
One electric strike is known to the applicant which is convertible between fail safe and fail secure operation. However, this strike is difficult to convert between the two modes of operation. One must partially dismantle the device, re-orient small pieces which are difficult to handle, and then re-assemble the device in order to convert the strike between the two modes. This may be a time consuming, difficult and/or awkward operation. The applicant does not admit that this strike or its shortcomings constitute common general knowledge in the relevant art in Australia before filing this application.
It is accordingly desirable to have a single electric strike that is capable of being more readily switched between fail safe and fail secure operation.

eoet The frame according to the present invention may take any suitable form. It may be a single member. It may be formed from more than one member. It may form all or part of a housing for the strike. It may simply be a base to which the retaining means is movably attached.
The retaining means according to the present invention may take any suitable form in order to retain a latch bolt or the like.
In one embodiment of the invention, the retaining means may also act as a strike plate. In this embodiment, the retaining means includes a suitably shaped surface over which a retractable latch bolt may ride when the door is being closed. The surface may be curved.
It may be flat. In this way, the latch bolt may be caused to temporarily retract to enable the rjam M0110990938v1 304629349 24.8.2001 door to be closed. In this arrangement, the latch bolt will be biased towards an extended position so that once it has ridden over the strike plate, it will extend into a recess behind the strike plate so as to be retained by the retaining means of the strike.
Preferably, the retaining means is hinged with respect to the frame.
The holding member according to the present invention may be mechanically associated with the retaining means in any manner such that the retaining means is not permitted to move with respect to the frame away from the latch releasing position unless the holding member is permitted to move with respect to the frame. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the holding member rigidly extends from the retaining means. In this way, the retaining means may not move with respect to the frame unless the holding member is permitted to move with respect to the frame.
Preferably, the holding means is formed integrally with the retaining means.
The obstruction means according to the present invention may be any suitable means for, •in one position, preventing movement of the holding member with respect to the frame, while, in another position, being capable of allowing the holding member to move with respect to the frame.

ao Description of the drawings 20 The invention will now be further explained and illustrated by reference to the S-accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 a is a schematic view of an electric strike according to one form of the invention.
The strike is in fail safe mode, and the solenoid is de-energised.
Figure lb is a schematic view of the electric strike shown in Figure la. The strike is in fail safe mode, and the solenoid is energised.
Figure 2a is a schematic view of the electric strike shown in Figure Ia. The strike is in fail secure mode, and the solenoid is de-energised.
Figure 2b is a schematic view of the electric strike shown in Figure la. The strike is in fail secure mode, and the solenoid is energised.
rjam M0110990938vl 304629349 24.8.2001 Figure 3 shows an exploded isometric view of an electric strike that embodies the principles depicted in the schematic diagrams (Figures 1 a to 2b).
Figure l a shows a schematic view of the operative components of an electric strike according to the present invention, generally designated 10. Strike 10 includes a frame 12 having plates 14 and 16. Strike 10 also has a retaining means in the form of a strike plate 18. Strike plate 18 includes a holding means in the form of an integrally formed holding plate 20 extending rigidly therefrom.
Plates 14 and 16 have holes 22 and 24. Holding plate 20 has a hole 26 which, in the configurations illustrated in figures I a to 2b, is aligned with holes 22 and 24.
The strike 10 includes obstruction means in the form of three equal length locking pins, designated 30, 32 and 34 respectively. In the configurations illustrated in figures la to 2b, pins 30, 32 and 34 are located at least partially within the channel defined by holes 22, 24 and 26.
The strike 10 also includes a plate 40. Plate 40 is slidably moveable with respect to frame 12 between the position shown in Figures la and Ib, and the position shown in Figures 2a and 2b.
Plate 40 carries a solenoid 42 and biasing means in the form of a spring loaded microswitch 46. Spring loaded microswitch 46 urges the pins 30, 32 and 34 to the left when strike 10 is in a configuration shown in Figures 1 a to 2b.
20 The solenoid 42 includes a plunger 44. When solenoid 42 is energised from the de-energised state shown in Figure l a, solenoid 42 drives plunger 44 to the right to the position shown in Figure lb. When moving from the position shown in Figure la to the position shown in Figure lb, plunger 44 drives pins 30, 32 and 34 to the right against the spring bias provided by microswitch 46. When solenoid 42 is de-energised, microswitch 46 pushes pins 30, 32 and 34 and plunger 44 back to the position shown in Figure 1 a.
Similarly, when the solenoid is energised from the de-energised state shown in Figure 2a, solenoid 42 drives plunger 44 to the right (with reference to the figures) to the position shown in Figure 2b. Again, when moving from the position shown in Figure 2a to the position shown in Figure 2b, plunger 36 drives pins 30, 32 and 34 to the right against the rjam M0110990938vl 304629349 24.8.2001 8 spring bias provided by microswitch 46. When solenoid 42 is de-energised, microswitch 46 pushes pins 30, 32 and 34 and plunger 44 back to the position shown in Figure 2a.
In the configurations shown in Figures 1 a and 2b, holding plate 20 is not prevented by any of pins 30, 32 or 34 from moving from the position shown, since no pins extend across holding plate 20 and plate 14 or 16. Thus, in the configurations shown in Figures la and 2b strike plate 18 may be rotated. Rotation of strike plate 18 will cause holding plate 20 to rotate. Pin 32 is then carried by holding plate 20 out of the position shown in Figure l a or 2b.
In the configurations shown in Figures lb and 2a, holding plate 20 is prevented from moving from the position shown, thus preventing rotation of strike plate 18. In Figure lb pin 30 extends across plate 14 and holding plate 20, and pin 32 extends across plate 16 and holding plate 20. In Figure 2a pin 32 extends across plate 14 and holding plate 20, and pin 34 extends across plate 16 and holding plate The configurations of the strike shown in Figures la and lb represent fail safe operation since strike plate 18 is free to move from the latch retaining position shown in Figure 1 a to the latch releasing position (not shown) when solenoid 42 is de-energised.
The configurations of the strike shown in Figures 2a and 2b represent fail secure operation *since strike plate 18 may not move from the latch retaining position shown in Figure 2a when solenoid 42 is de-energised.
When strike plate 18 moves from the latch retaining position shown in Figure 1 a or Figure :5 2b to the latch releasing position (not shown), holding plate 20 rotates in a direction (with reference to the Figures) into the page. Holding plate 20 carries pin 32 within hole 26 when so moving. When strike plate 18 is in the latch releasing position portions of the surface of holding plate 20 at least partially obstruct holes 22 and 24 so that pin 30 is retained in hole 22 and pin 34 is retained in hole 24.
Figure 3 shows an exploded isometric view of an electric strike that embodies the principles depicted in the schematic diagrams (Figures 1 a to 2b).
Frame 12 is made from cast steel. Plates 14 and 16 are integrally formed with frame 12.
Strike plate 18 is pivotally mounted on frame 12 via bearing pin 2 so as to be able to rotate jam M0110990938vl 304629349 24.8.2001 9 between a latch releasing position and a latch retaining position. Spring 4 is provided to bias strike plate 18 towards the latch retaining position.
The strike 10 is provided with a cover 6 to protect the strike mechanism.
Plate 40 is formed from metal sheeting and is shaped to include two mounting pins 50 for mounting microswitch 46 to plate 40. Solenoid 42 is suitably affixed to plate 40. Plate is also provided with threaded holes 52 for holding plate 40 in the fail safe position or the fail secure position, as the case may be, by means of screws 54. Frame 12 is provided with slotted holes 56 to enable plate 40 to slide between fail safe and fail secure positions.
Strike 10 may be switched between a fail safe position and a fail secure position by sliding plate 40 to the appropriate position with respect to frame 12. In this regard, plate 40 is S. provided with a projection (on the side of the plate that is not visible in Figure 3) for switching strike 10 between fail safe and fail secure operation. When plate 40 is installed in frame 12, the projection passes through a slot in the frame so as to be readily accessible from outside frame 12. Manually pushing the projection causes plate 40 to slide to the appropriate position with respect to frame 12.
It will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention provides an improved electric strike that is conveniently and readily switchable between fail safe and fail secure operation.
0•6 The word 'comprising' and forms of the word 'comprising' as used in this description does not limit the invention claimed to exclude any variants or additions.
Modifications and improvements to the invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Such modifications and improvements are intended to be within the scope of this invention.
