Definitions

  • This relates in general to latching devices and more particularly to latches designed to releasably secure doors or panels in closed position against a stationary striker surface, subject to reopening upon the application of a controlled pull force.
  • Latches assume many different forms in the. rior art.
  • the most common types are of metal comprising several different elements, including a metal frame which is screwed adjacent to the edge of a movable door panel, and which supports a spring-biased metal tongue which engages either a slot or a projecting member on a striker surface.
  • the prior art includes numerous variations of this basic type, most of which include a plurality of parts, usually formed of metal or some other rigid material, which are expensive to manufacture and install initially, and to replace. Moreover, it is difficult to find suitable prior art latches which are designed to close securely, but which are responsive to a uniform pull force to open.
  • Other objects of the in ⁇ vention are to provide a latch which requires a precisely-controlled pull force, and which is charac ⁇ terized by a long life causing a minimum amount of wear on its contact surfaces, and on the striker surface against which it operates.
  • a one-piece latch in the form of a body of elastomeric material which has one or more lips forming catches precisely angled to provide cam action against the engaging surface.
  • the material may comprise a synthetic rubber characterized by a durometer
  • the latch of the present invention may comprise a closed body con ⁇ figuration having the major surfaces of the body lying in parallel planes slightly spaced apart by the thick- ness, and means to secure the latch to a door or panel. In some embodiments, this open center is closed with a thin sheet adjacent to the base or inwardly-directed major surface of the latch. In other embodiments, a knob protrudes from one of the outer major surfaces of the latch. In still other embodiments, the latch takes the form of a strip having an elongated catch-forming lip which extends along its length.
  • a particular feature of the latch of our in ⁇ vention is its cross-sectional shape which may include a peripheral notch of uniform width and depth at least partially surrounding the edge of the body portion, which notch is just wide and deep enough to snap into and accommodate the edges of an opening cut into the door or of a panel in or on which' it is installed. That portion of the latch which is constructed to contact the edge of a striker bar or plate takes the form of a downwardly and outwardly protruding lip forming a catch.
  • This comprises an inside surface which depends or pro ⁇ trudes in a direction normal to the base surface of the latch body, terminating at its lower or outer end in a sharp edge or thin rectangular land in a plane parallel to the base, which edge is constructed to contact and rest momentarily against the striker surface as the latch is being closed.
  • the outwardly-directed cam surface of the lip is designed to form an angle of be ⁇ tween about 15° and 75° with a plane parallel to the base plane of the latch, terminating in a sharp or or rounded projection forming on its inner surface a catch which is designed to seat against the edge of the striker bar or plate, when the latch is closed.
  • the projecting edge may form an angle of from zero to 30° in a cross-sectional plane with the undercut edge of the catch.
  • the function of the outwardly- angled lip forming the catch is to provide cam-action against the striker bar or panel.
  • a thrust against the latch squeezing it inwardly, it is compressed in a direction parallel to the sur ⁇ face, so that the catch snaps into place against the striker bar or plate when the door is closed; and in response to an outward pull of the latch, the lip re ⁇ cedes in response to a pull directed against the cam surface, so that the striker bar or panel is pushed out of the catch, henever in the specification and claims hereinafter the words "striker bar" are used, it will be understood that this includes any plate or panel against which the catch of the latch of the pre- sent invention is designed to engage in closed relation.
  • this requires a bar or plate super ⁇ posed over the door or panel surface in which the latch is installed; whereas in other embodiments the latch is designed to close against the door or panel surface without an additional striker bar or plate being inter ⁇ posed.
  • the latch of the present invention may be formed in numerous different shapes or sizes.
  • it may take the form of a "D", open at the center and having the lip forming a catch protruding along the straight edge.
  • An opening is cut in the door or panel, the edges of which are shaped to accommodate the peripheral notch of the D-shaped latch in snap-in relation, preferably without the use of any bonding or securing means.
  • the latch may alternatively be formed in the shape of a "C” with the catch at the back of the "C”; or it may be formed in the shape of a complete flattened circle with the catch portion along one edge, or on diametrically opposite edges or com ⁇ pletely around the periphery.
  • the latch may take the form of a rectangle with the catch on one or opposite edges, or of a polygon having any number of sides with the catch along one or more, or all of the edges. All of these shapes may have the centers closed, or open, as desired, and may or may not be formed to include handles.
  • a unique modification of the latch of the present invention may take the form of a strip which may be cut to any desired length and disposed to provide an extended catch along the edge of a door or panel.
  • a particular advantage of the latch of the present invention is its simplicity and cheapness of manufacture and installation. It comprises only a single part which may be molded to any desired shape and quickly snapped into place without the use of any screws, bolts, or bonding materials.
  • the latch of the present invention is designed to release in response to a predetermined pull force. Wear and tear on the striker bar or plate against which the latch -operates is minimized; and if wear occurs in the catch portion of the latch, the latch can be quickly and easily replaced.
  • the latch can be formed to include additional catch members on a plurality of sides, so that when the latch wears on one catch, it is merely necessary to rotate it and reseat it in the latch site with a fresh portion of the catch in place.
  • a further advantage of latches constructed in ac- cordance with the present invention is that they can be designed to accommodate pull requirements of between as little as,- say, one ounce, and many pounds.

  • Fig. 2 shows the latch of Fig. 1 in the process of being opened.
  • Fig. 3 shows the preferred embodiment of the latch of Fig. 1 removed from the door panel, and disposed with the catch directed upward as viewed from the front.

  • SUBSTITUTE SHEET 117b on opposite sides which are dimensioned to securely accommodate the edges of the door or panel on which it is installed.
  • the strip can be cut to any desired length in a direction normal to the plane of the drawing.
  • Latch 111 can be double-sided so that catch 176 is formed to protrude in opposite directions simultaneously. Further, this design, as shown in section, lends itself to the possibility of a latch having a four-sided holding area.
  • Fig.- 26 shows, in section, a further modification of the line latch disclosed in Figs. 22-25 installed along the edge of a door or panel, perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, so that the catch-forming lip 176a projects over and forms a catch for striker bar or panel 173.

Abstract

Un loquet (1) formé en une seule pièce en un matériau élastomère comprend un rebord allongé (6) saillant au dessus ou au dessous d'un bord. La surface intérieure du rebord (6) forme un cliquet qui reçoit une barre (3) ou plaque de contact lorsque le loquet se ferme. La surface extérieure adjacente du rebord (6) forme un angle par rapport à la partie d'encliquetage de façon à créer un effet élastique de levier sur la barre (3) ou la plaque de contact lorsque le loquet s'ouvre ou se ferme. Le loquet peut prendre de nombreuses formes, y compris des formes en D (Fig.3), en C (Fig. 15), circulaires (Fig.14), carrées (Fig.20), polygonales (Fig.16) et droites (Fig.22). Un loquet ayant une des formes illustrées peut être aisément moulé intégralement dans un panneau ou dans un récipient ou autre objet similaire.
