Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method of manufacturing and arranging in operating positions operating devices for a lock intended for a door or the like, the method being in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to an operating device mechanism and a lock in which the operating device mechanism is installed.
  • Locks and the operating devices thereof are conventionally manufactured of metal. However for certain uses it is also known to manufacture separate lock operating devices of plastics material. The manufacture and assembly of locks of numerous separate parts is both laborious and costly. Also the storage and handling of numerous parts is complicated.
  • An aim of the present invention is to provide a new method of manufacturing, assembling and arranging so as to be operable, a lock and its constituent parts, by means of which the drawbacks mentioned above can be minimised.
  • An aim is specifically to simplify the manufacture and assembly of lock parts so that the transfer and handling of numerous separate lock parts is avoided.
  • a method as claimed in the ensuing claim 1 of manufacturing and arranging in operating positions operating devices for a lock is thereby accomplished. Since detaching of the lock parts from each other is achieved by means of a pressing movement in one direction, the assembling step or phase is simplified and, if desired, easily automated.
  • the pressing step and the assembly of the lock parts can be more easily accomplished if the body element and the operating devices are of at least substantially equal thickness in a direction normal to the basic plane.
  • the body element is cast to comprise a substantially uniform frame structure including at least one bolt opening.
  • the body element is cast to comprise a substantially uniform frame structure including at least one bolt opening.
  • the operating devices include also at least one spring member.
  • the operating devices are cast so as to be located on either side of the body element.
  • the operating devices include a latch bolt and a follower, which are arranged in the moulding on the same side of the body element.
  • the spring member can then, with advantage, be a return spring for the latch bolt which is arranged in the moulding on a different side of the body element to that of the latch bolt and the follower.
  • the follower is advantageously provided with a spring of its own which is cast to be part of the body element.
  • a dead bolt and its preferably key operated bolt lever element may additionally be cast to the moulding.
  • a partition wall is cast to the body element and separates the latch bolt mechanism from the dead bolt mechanism.
  • the partition wall can be dimensioned to be flexible so that after installation it guides the bolt lever element.
  • dead bolt and the bolt lever element are advantageously cast so as to occupy different sides of the body element in different planes with regard to the body element.
  • the moulding can be designed so as to comprise all the essential component parts of the lock.
  • the casting process can, however, be simplified, if the moulding is installed in a separate lock having a front plate and a lock housing fixed thereto.
  • the front plate and lock housing can be made of different material to the plastics injection moulded operating devices.
  • the pressing step can be accomplished directly against the lock housing so that the body element and the operating devices remain inside the lock housing after pressing.
  • connection members or connection points are so located in the moulding that when the operating devices are broken from the body element in the pressing stage they are arranged relative to each other in their correct positions required for their operation thereof.
  • at least one guiding member may be cast to the body element. In this case the guiding member(s) together with the spring for the follower guide the follower into a correct position when the follower is turned for the first time after the pressing step or phase.
  • the follower may have a guiding surface which, when the follower is turned, guides, together with guiding surfaces of the body element, simultaneously the spring for the latch bolt into a correct place and to a prestressed operating position, whereby the spring for the latch bolt presses the latch bolt towards its operating position.
  • the lock housing is with advantage provided with a stub shaft.
  • the moulding may include a wedge element which during the pressing step, under the influence of the stub shaft, guides the bolt lever element in the direction of the movement according to the bolt operation of the dead bolt towards the dead bolt simultaneously pressing the dead bolt into its operating position, in which it extends beyond the inner edge of the bolt opening in the lock case.
  • the dead bolt is arranged to be directly in its operating condition as a consequence of the pressing phase.
  • an operating device mechanism intended for a lock to be installed to a door or the like and which comprises a one piece moulding of plastics material.
  • a lock intended for a door or the like and including a front plate and a lock housing fixed thereto and in which a plastics operating device mechanism is installed.
  • reference numeral 1 designates a moulding, or piece of casting, for operating devices of a lock.
  • the moulding is preferably made in one piece by injection moulding of plastics material.
  • the moulding includes a frame-like body element 2 having bolt openings 2a and 2b and to which all the essential operating devices of the lock, as a consequence of the moulding or casting, are either fixed by connection members or connection points (as described in more detail later on) or which are permanently integrated as parts of the body element.
  • these operating devices include a latch bolt 3, a spring 4 for the latch bolt, a follower 5 for moving the latch bolt through means, for instance a handle, to be installed at an operating axis 5', a spring 6 for the follower, a dead bolt 7 and a bolt lever element 8 for moving the dead bolt 7.
  • the operating devices are located on opposite sides of a central plane of the body element 2.
  • the operating devices and the body element are conveniently positioned in three separate spaced apart and parallel planes.
  • the moulding is made by injection moulding, preferably using a two part mould including only one joint surface.
  • the operating devices are located relative to the body element 2 and to each other so that the moulding 1 can be installed as one piece in one direction along a rectilinear path into a desired lock casing (cf. Figure 14). This enables full automation of the assembly process to be achieved using simple devices.
  • the design and location of the operating devices relative to each other, as well as the design of the body element 2, are also so selected that there is sufficient space provided between the movable parts for the walls of the casting mould and for the movements required by the normal operation thereof after installation of the moulding and detachment of the movable parts.
  • the body element 2 is designed so as to comprise guiding surfaces 2c and 2d which guide the movements of the bolts after installation as is described in more detail later on.
  • Figure 9 shows connection members A and B by means of which the latch bolt 3 is fixed at its arm part 3a to the body element 2 of the moulding 1.
  • Figure 10 shows connection members C and D by means of which the follower 5 is fixed to body element 2.
  • Figure 11 shows connection members E and F by means of which the spring 4 for the latch bolt is fixed to the body element 2.
  • Figure 12 shows connection members G and H by means of which the dead bolt 7 is fixed to the body element 2
  • Figure 13 shows connection members I and J by means of which the bolt lever element 8 is fixed to the body element 2.
  • Figure 14 shows a lock casing 9 having a lock housing 10 and a front plate 11 fixed thereto and provided with bolt openings.
  • a cover for the lock housing 10 is not shown in the drawings.
  • the location and the dimensions of the connection members A - J are selected so that when the moulding 1 is installed, as shown in Figure 14, in one direction along a rectilinear path into the lock housing 10 and the operating devices are pressed, the connection members can be simultaneously broken and the operating devices moved relative to each other so as to occupy a common plane with the body element.
  • the installation of the latch bolt part of the lock and arranging the latter to be operable occurs as follows. After the moulding 1 has been pressed into the lock housing 10 so that the connection members A - J are broken and the operating devices are detached from the body element 2, limiting members 12 of the latch bolt 3 are pressed towards the arm part 3a of the latch bolt guided by the guiding members 13 in the lock housing. In addition the arm part 3a is guided by the guiding surfaces 2c of the body element.
  • the spring 6 for the follower is an integral part of the body element 2 and is designed and positioned so that the follower 5 can be installed in the lock casing 9 in the same position as it is when moulded.
  • the lock housing 10 includes a guiding opening 10a for the follower 5, into which the follower 5 enters so that it is turnably journalled in the guiding opening 10a (cf. Figures 15 and 17).
  • the spring 4 for the latch bolt is located between the follower 5 and a guiding cam 14 in the body element in such a position which allows installation of the latch bolt 3 in the same position as it occupies when moulded. The situation corresponds to that shown in Figure 14.
  • the return spring 4 for the latch bolt turns, due to a guiding surface 5a on the follower 5 and a guiding cam 14 in the body element, into its operating position, in which it remains under guidance of another guiding surface 5b on the follower 5 and the guiding cam 14.
  • the latch bolt 3 is pushed by the spring 4 of the latch bolt towards its operating position, whereby the limiting members 12 of the latch bolt arm 3a are released and prevent the latch bolt 3 from being pressed back into an inner position corresponding to its installation position.
  • a wedge element 16 is used to install the bolt lever element 8 and the dead bolt 7.
  • the wedge element 16 cooperates with a stub shaft 17 arranged in the lock housing 10.
  • the wedge element 16 and the stub shaft 17 are positioned relative to each other as is shown in Figures 14 and 15.
  • the wedge element 16 and stub shaft 17 are positioned as shown in Figures 16 and 17.
  • the guiding surface 16 on the wedge element causes the wedge element to be moved to the left as viewed in the Figures.
  • the bolt lever element 8 and the dead bolt 7 are also moved to the left in the Figures, pressed by the wedge element 16.
  • the dead bolt 7 is moved towards the bolt opening in the front plate 11 somewhat inside the opening. In this position, the dead bolt 7 is additionally under guidance of the guiding surfaces 2d on the body element, cf. Figure 16. Due to this arrangement the dead bolt 7 and the bolt lever element 8 can be moulded so as to be positioned in inner positions relative to their operating position so that they can be installed in the lock housing 10 as a stationary part of the moulding 1.
  • Figure 18 shows the lock casing 9 of Figure 16 in a situation in which the latch bolt 3 is in its normal protruding position pressed by the spring 4 and the dead bolt 7 is also in its protruding position and dead-locked, effected by the bolt lever element 8.
  • reciprocating movements of the dead bolt 7 are provided through the bolt lever element 8, turning of which is achieved by means of a key (not shown) insertable through a key hole 18 arranged in the lock housing 10.
  • Dead-locking of the dead bolt 7 is achieved by means of two cams in the bolt lever element 8.
  • a partition wall 19 separates the dead bolt part and the latch bolt part of the body element 2 from each other and is dimensioned so as to be flexible.
  • the whole operating device part is formed of a single moulding or casting as described above.
  • the whole lock casing may be moulded in one or several pieces by injection moulding of plastics material, when only the selection of the materials corresponds to the requirements set by the operating conditions, for instance requirements for strength.
  • the lock casing may also comprise only one bolt part, i.e. the latch bolt part or the dead bolt part.
  • the lock body element, the operating devices and the connection members may be designed, when necessary, in many different ways as regards their details.
  • the installation of the lock parts and arranging the lock to be put in an operable condition should, however, be achieved with as few measures as possible.
  • a part of the connection members may be arranged to be broken for detaching of the parts after installation by utilizing separate measures in order to provide for the lock to be operable.
  • all the connection members need not necessarily be broken already when the piece of casting is installed to its place in the lock housing.
  • There is also a matter of choice as to on which side of the body element the different operating devices are moulded, how many planes are involved with the moulding and to which extent the pieces are located inside each other and/or relative to the body element.
