Description
1 32~2~37 This invention rslates to a portable storage shed con6truction and relates particularly to an improved sliding door and locking mechanism co~bination ~or such a shed. The constructlon is particularly ~uited to use on heavy duty doors vulnerable to vandalism or hreak-in either on temporary or portable buildings, such as building site sheds or offic~s. Such doors are generally hung by appropriate rollers and fittings from an appropriate channel section mounted above the doorway to be closed such that the door move~ parallel to the doorway to either ope~ or close the doorway as desired. The bottom edge may also run in a channel or between gu~des to assist in proper movement o the door betwaen the open and closed positions. Such doors are, when secured from the outside, usually locked by means of a simple latch and padlock combination. It is often possible to force such doors open either by breaking the latch or padlock or by forcing the door away from the doorway it is intended to secure by swinging th~ door about the axi~ of the channel from which it is suspended.
~ It is an object of this invention to overcome or reduce some or all of the disadvantages of such known door constructions.
The present invention therefore provides a portable storage shed having at least one wall including a doorway alternatively open or closed by a sliding door movable in a dlrection parallel to said doorway, in which said door has leading and trailing frame portions attached to facing material for said door, said leading frame portion being adaptad to b~ rsceived in a channel in a fir~t fram~ m~mber ~djacent one slde of said doorway when said door is closed and ~aid trailing edge of said door including a protruding flange member adapted to engage with a channel in a second frame member adjacent the other side o~ said doorway when said door is closed such that lateral movement of said door away from said wall is prevented, and in which said door includes locking means which comprises a lock member mounted ~ .' `:
_ 3 on said door or said leadin~ frame member which projects forwardly of the door and protrudes, when the door is closed, through a slot in a wall of the building to enable attachment of a locking means, said locking means being protected by means of a cover mounted on the outside of said wall covering said loc~ing means which permits access to the locking means for unlocking, but which substantially prevents forcing of the locking means.
One preferred form of portable storage shed construction will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:-Figure 1 is a front elevation of a portable storage shed in accordance with the present invention;
Figure 2 is a partial cross sectional plan view of the shed of Figure 1 in the direction 1-1;
Figure 3 is a partial cross sectional plan view similar to Figure 2 showing an alternative embodiment in accordance with the invention; and Figure 4 shows a further embodiment of the in~ention in plan view similar to Figure 2.
The building 10 is shown as a portable office or store which can be transported from site to site as required and is conveniently referred to as a shed. The shed comprises side walls 11, 12 roof 13, front wall 14, rear wall 15 (not clearly shown) and sliding door 1~. The shed is conveniently mounted on foundation 17. The door 16 is mounted or suspended at the top in a conventional manner in door track 18 comprising appropriate channel and runner means not shown in detail, and at the bottom may run in bottom track 19. The doorway 2D is bounded by the top and bottom tracks 18 and 19 and pillars 21 and 22. The door comprises door panel 23 mounted on a door frame comprisiny side members 24 and 25 and similar top and bottom members (not shown). The pillars and the door frame members are of substantially square cross section steel tube and the door panel is of steel plate. The door panel is mounted on the frame by any convenient means such as welding/ rivetting or bolting.
--~" 1 328287 The side wall 11 of the shed extends forwardly beyond the plane of the doorway 20 and the plane of the door 16 and is formed with a flange 26 to shield and contain side member 24 of the door 16 when the door is closed. The flange serves to deter tampering and forcing of the door and also serves to restric~ lateral or sideways movement of the door in the direction of arrow A at outer end 27 of the door. Mounted on inner door pillar 22 as shown in Figure 2 is a substantially L-shaped flange 28 which pro~rudes into slot 29 in inner door side member 25. Such flange and slot combination serves to restrict movement of the inner door end 30 in the direction of arrow B and additionally deter or th~art unauthorised entry to the shed when the shed door is clo~ed and locked.
Referring to Figure 3 in which like numbers refer to like parts, the inner door end 25 is prevented from lateral movement in the direction of arrow B by provision of a further square channel member 31 mounted outside the front wall 14 and opposite pillar 22. The further member is of such a length so as not to interfere with the opening and closing of the door and includes projection 32 e~tending towards and into appropriate slot 29 in the side frame member 25 of the door.
The locking means for the door comprise lock member 33 2S which passes through lock slot 34 in side wall 11 and adapted to be secured by a padlock (not shown) via hole 35.
The lock member 33 and padlock are protected from damage, tampering or forcing when the door is closed and locked by means of lock cover 36. The cover is of steel construction and together with the side wall 11 to which it is fixed (e.g., by welding) protects the locking means.
Referring to Figure 4, there is shown a further embodiment of the sliding door construction in accordance with the invention. The door 40 is mounted for slidable operation to alternatively close and open doorway 41. The door includes front or leading frame member 42, door panel 43 and rear or trailing frame member 44 or substantially U-shaped cross section adapted to engage with U-shaped cross : . ~ , :
section door ~rame member 45 to prevent lateral movement (in the direction of arrow A) of the doox when the door is in the closed position as is shown in the drawings. This lateral movement is also prevented by provision of flange 46 on side wall 47 of the shed. As previously, the leading door frame member 42 includes a locking member 48 which passes through lock slot 43. Padlock or other locking means (not shown) is then secured through bore 50 in locking member 48. ~he various par~s including front wall 51 of the shed may be assembled as is known in the ark and be fixed together as necessary by bolts, rivets or, for example, by welds 52, shown by way of example only.
The shed, as with the parts sp0cifically described, may be manufactured from appropriate steel or aluminium components or any other suitable metal or alloy or other mat4rial suitable for the purpose. The shed preferably includes means for attaching the shed to a crane to enable ease of movement and tran~port of the shed from site to site as and when desired.
It will be seen from the foregoing that the in~ention described pxovides addîtional security for portable buildings and that many modifications or improvemenks may be made to the invention described without departing from the spirit thereof.
