Abstract

MULTI-BOLT LOCK Inventor : Pierre André Gaston FREDON Assignee : ETABLISSEMETS CAVERS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A door lock comprises a tubular metal case adapted to be fastened to the door, a series of bolts supported by the case, and an actuating bar sliaable in case and coupled to the bolts for moving the bolts in unison between an extending locked position and a retracted unlocked position. Preferably the bolts have transverse pins which engage in respective inclined slots in the bar and slots in the opposed side walls of the case. The case preferably has a rectangular or square section and may be extruded or formed by a channel section and a closure plate.

Description

Th~ present inventioll reEers to a multi-bolt lock for d~ors, more especially ~or doors opening onto a lancling.

.
Loc~s of t.his species have long been known, but fittïng them is difficult, their o~eration is subject to many risks, their not very aesthetic exposure on the apartment side enables easy spo-tting of the bolts. Nevertheless increasing insecurity leads many people to try to protect their goods, often a-t the price of very costly installations by having this species of lock installed inside thei.r doors.

Hence the aim o~ the inv~ntion was multiple:

1. To simplify to the utmost the fitting of the safety lock device in order to render it possible with ordinary toolsi .
2. To reinforce the strength of the door and prevent its being burgled or at least to make it less easy; ---., .
3. To reduce and if possible prevent play in the door by supressing deformation of the wood due to variations in temperature and in the humidity of the air;.
4. To produce a device of simple design which practically cannot get out of order and which hence only asks for minimum maintenance, whilst remaining still easy and flexible in operation.

~67~3 I~ o-der to obtain these results the ~;aEety lock in aceordance ~ith tlle inv~ntion consists of a tube of ~ectangular or square shape in one or two parts, in whic:h are located bolts and at least one but normally two bars which control them. These bars are in turn controlled by a lock of a conventional model, which acts UpOIl them in accordance with well l;nown principles.

Preferably the bolts are ro~md and a pin passes through eaeh, which projects beyond them on both sides, on one side by a lengtll equal to or less than the thickness of the tube and on the other side of the same length to which gets added the thickness of the bar, the whole obviously increased by the diameter of the bolt. This seeond end of the pin slides in fact in a slit in the bar, the axi~ of the slit makin~ an angle with the longitudinal axis of the bar. The ends of this bar may likewise be e~uipped with a bolt for the top or bottom of the door.

., :
By a mechanical connection the ends of the bars may likewise be put into relations with bars located horizontally, which in turn control bolts coming out upwards or downwards.
Finally, other connections may extend the system to the 4th side of the door ~ 67i~33 ~-- 3 --In wooden doox-frames the keeper holes are preferably surrounded ~y a me-tal reinforcement which may ta]ie the form of a drilled plate.

The description which is going to follow in relation to the attached drawings given by way of non-restrictive example, will let it be clearly understood how the invention may ~e executed, the special features which become apparent:
both from the drawings and from the text forming, of course, part of the said invention.

In these drawings: -Figure 1 represents an exploded view of one embodiment in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 represents an open door bearing on the leaf and on the door-frame the two portions of the safety device in accordance with the invention.
' ' . :

Figure 3 represents a section along III-III in Figure 2.

.
Figure 4 represents a section along IV-IV in Figure 2.

.. . .
Fiyure 4a represents a similar section through a metal door-frame.

~, .

~`.i.~JUre 5 re~.resen~s a secti.on along V-V in Fi.gure 2.

Pi.cJur~ 6 represents a ~ection through -~ varian-t upon ~he portion o~ the device fastened to the leaf.

.

Figur~ 7 .represents a partial view o~ anotller varlant~
and Figure 8 represents a bolt of a different shape.
. .
Fig~re i ~hows in a very clear and simple ashion the essential parts of the safety device in accordance with th-e invention.

The base of it is formed by a channel iron 1. having ri~ht anyles, the flanges 2 of which have two slits 3 having t~eir-plane of symmetry perpendicular to the axis of the channel iron 1. This plane of symmetry passes through the centre of a circular opening 4 which passes through the web 5 of the channel iron 1.

This opening 4 serves for a round bolt to pass through it, the length a of which is approximately equal to the distance b between the outer walls of the arms 2 of the ch~nn~]. lron 1, to wbich i5 added to 1enqth oi it~ travel.

~' ' ' .

-i7~33 , A pin 7 passes through the bolt 6, of which the diameteris appxoximately equal to the width of the slit 3 and the axis is perpendicular to tha-t of the bolt; it eY~tends beyond the circumference asymmetrically. This pin 7 prevents rotation of the bolt 6, but this result may be obtained by other means such, for example, as that one portion of -the bolt may have a different shape.6t (polygonal, oval, etc.) but t~e smallest dimension oI a right section of which'is at least equal to the diameter of the cylindrical portion ~Figure 8). - ' ' .
The centre of the opening 4 is in turn also offset with respect to the plane of symmetry of the channel iron l, because between the bolt 6 and the inside of one of the flanges 2 there is located the bar 8.
'-In this bar 8 slits 9 are formed obliquely with respectto the longitudinal axis lO of the bar; the length of -these slits stretches across the greater portion of the wldth of the bar 8 and its wid-th is the same as that of the slit 3. Hence this width corresponds with the diameter of the pin 7 and the latt_r i~ guided by it. Finally the ' width of the bar 8 is slightly less than that of the àrms 2 of the channel iron 1.

Against the free ends of the arms 2 of the channel iron l is located a flat part 11 which with the ~annel iron l ~orms a tube. lhis flat part ll includes two lonc~itudinal ~rooves 12 into which are fit-ted the free ends o:E the walls 2; a rib 13'parallel with the grooves 12 is'spased from one ~L1;26~3 .

hem by a distance approximate~y equal to that of tne thiclcness of the bar 8 and from the other b~ the di~-~neter of the bolt 6. Finally>in the bottom of the channcl i~on 1 studs 14 are located at the same ~istances.-fron~ the arms 2.

Holes 15 pass through the flat part 11, coxresponding with the h~les 4 to.enable the^to-and-fro motion of the bolt 6, whilst another series of holes 16 ~in the ~lat part 11~ and }8 ~in -the ~ottom of the channel section 1) enable screws 17 to pass through~ which penetrate into the wood of the thickness 13 o the door.

This leaf has b~en prepared be~orehand to receive the whole of th~ system for the s afety loc~ in accordance with the invention, as may also be seen in Figure ~ which is a section through.~he device, passiny through the axis of a bolt.. A longitudinal groove 20 has been machined by means o a tool in common use ~for example, a router~, thi.s groove having been deepened opposite the open.ings r~ by holes 21 into which the bolts are pressed back when the lock is open.

- .
Similar holes ~'~ are provided in the frame 23. The diameter of these holes t like thoæ ~1 formed in the leaf, is a li.ttle lar~er ~han ~hat of the bolt 6 in order to avoid warping of the woQd en~ y up in ~locking these yaps.

This safetï locking assembly is actuated by a lock 24 which acts not only on the narmal bolt 25 but which through pins 26 is connected to two bars 8 o~' which one is located above and the othèr below the lock perpendicularly to the direction of movement of the bolts. The "casement bolt" mechanism is sufficiently ~ell known for a detailed explanation to be necessary here.

One part 2 7 of the lock mechanism ac-ts simultaneously upon two pins 26 to spre,ad them apart, making the opposite ends of the bars 28 to which are fastened round bolts 2$', come out at the top and bottom of the door.
, As had already been said, at this pcint a mechanical transmission of the motion can be provided, which transmits the to-and-fro of the vertical bars to horizontal bars'which control vertical bolts. These motions may even be continued along the side of the leaf which carried the hingepins in ordex to obtain secureness on four sides of the door. This arrangement at the same time allows wooden doors better resistance to deformation.

The ho]es 22 in the ~rame 23 and possibly as has just been seen, on four sides o~ it, have approximately the same size as the holes 21 in the leaf. Their edges may be protected by a drilled metal bar 2P, the openings in which have a diameter sli~lhtly larger than that of the bolt in order to facilitate its entr~!

1~6783 ~ es wit~out saying that the embodi.ment described h~:s h~en given only by way of example and it m.iyht be m~dL,i~d, especially by substitution of equivalent techniques, without thereby departing from the scope oF the present invention.

~hus, for example, instead of consisting of two parts 1 and 11, the tube may be ex-truded in a single hollow body, which obviously makes it necessary to introduce the pins into the bolts when they have already been mounted.

Starting from this conception, one arrives at the variant il,lustrated by ~igure ~. In the example illustrated by Figures 1 to 5 it was deemed that the thic]cness of the door was sufficient to enable the tube to be located in the leaf of the door. Even if the thickness of the tuhe can be small enough (of the order of 2 cm, for example) certain doors are nevertheless too thin for seatin~ it between two bars of wood sufficiently strong to be able to maintain the safety system. In this case the width of the door may be reduced along the edge of it by removlng laterial.ly ~rom the leaf a thickness of wood 29 from each side, thîs spaGe servin~ to receive two metal strips 30 formed in one piece with the tube and prolonging its sidefaces, which correspond with the arms 2 of the embodiment described earlie,r, towards the inside o~ the door. The s~sterlt fi71~3 iJl i~self rcmains unaltered as a result of this modifïcation.

It will also remain so in the case where for special reasons one dces not wish to or cannot ~ter~ere too much with the wooc- of ~he door. In this case the whole system may be located a~ainst the face o~ the inner side o~ the door (Figure 7);
when use is made o a suitable channel sestion like that empl~oyed in the example which has been analysed, it may be coverea over by one flange of an embellishment 31 which may be closed on the other si~e as shown in Figure 7.

~hus any artistic or architectural variation may be employe~
in order to adapt the basic system to the circumstances.

Finally t~e tubes may be produced in standard lengths wnic~
in the case of industrial production may be rather long and on site or in the workshop may be cut off exactly to the required length.
