Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of the art of locksmith and in particular refers to locking means of sliding door or window panels and discloses a multipoint latching assembly comprising a pair of cooperatively employed longitudinally extending abutting bars, one of which is fixedly mounted at a plurality of points within the sliding profile member and the other is provided with a plurality of latch means and performs a reciprocating movement thereby accordingly setting the multipoint latching assembly at a locked or unlocked condition.
  • Sliding door/window panels of the prior art conventionally employ a single locking point with a locking operation handle means being mounted onto the sliding panel and used in activating a locking means, such as a hook, a pin, etc. that engages into a correspondingly formed receiving member being fixedly mounted onto the vertically extending length of the frame profile member.
  • a locking means such as a hook, a pin, etc. that engages into a correspondingly formed receiving member being fixedly mounted onto the vertically extending length of the frame profile member.
  • Such single locking point might be violated by burglars with a small or greater effort, depending on the specific technology and quality of manufacturing thereof. It is for this reason that pivotally mounted windows have for some time introduced multipoint locking assemblies that may provide an enhanced protection against burglars.
  • Such assemblies comprise sequentially engaged bars with a plurality of locking members attached thereupon, wherein such bars may be set into a synchronized linear movement through the locking operation handle means of the device.
  • sliding door / window panels have not so far employed corresponding multipoint locking assemblies and this leads, nowadays with the ever increasing burglar activity, to a decreased demand thereof by the consumers.
  • Another object of the invention in view of implementation of the above main object thereof is the disclosure of a pair of longitudinally extending bars having a width such as to freely enter through a frontal opening of the sliding profile member, said bars having a length such as to cover a desirable portion or even the entire length of the vertically extending sliding profile member, wherein the first bar is fixedly mounted by means of a plurality of supporting blocks and bolts passing through both bars and the supporting blocks, said bolts being screwed until they abut onto an interior lateral wall of the sliding profile member, whereby a pair of side extensions of each one of the supporting blocks abut onto frontal lateral side walls of the sliding profile member thereby providing a counter support, and wherein the second bar is provided with a plurality of latch means passing through slots of the abovementioned first bar, said second bar performing a reciprocating movement thereby displacing the plurality of latch means along the abovementioned slots of the first bar in order to engage into a corresponding plurality of receiving members being fixedly mounted along the oppos
  • Another object of the invention is, in view of averting the possibility of a deformation or fracture of the latch means and/or of the receiving members if the case arises of the sliding panel being led to closure with the latch means set at locked condition and thereby colliding onto the protruding respective receiving members, to disclose an automatic retraction capacity of the second bar being provided with the latch means during such unsuitable closure action with a scope of ensuring protection of the latch means and/or receiving members from undesirable damage.
  • Another object of the invention in view of satisfying the above mentioned object of automatic retraction of the second bar being provided with the latch means of the invention thereby averting damage of latch means and/or receiving members thereof, is to disclose an advantageous multipoint connection of the abovementioned first and second bars by means of a plurality of pin-spring assemblies, said pins protruding marginally forward of the latch means so as to be the first to coll ide onto the vertically extending length of the frame profile member in case of an unsuitable closure action, thereby initiating a retraction of the bar bearing the latch means and ensuring protection of latch means and/or receiving members of the latching assembly of the invention.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide the herein proposed multipoint latching assembly with the alternative options of either installing it on a sliding panel that is equipped with a typical commercially available lock means whereby the first and second bars are provided with suitable openings to allow passage of bolt means to connect with the mechanism of such commercially available lock means or installing the same on a sliding panel without any other lock means whereby an independent handle means passes through an opening of a side wall of the sliding panel and is connected into the interior second bar bearing the latch means of the invention.
  • the multipoint latching assembly for sliding doors of the invention comprises a pair of cooperatively employed longitudinally extending bars 1 and 2, which as long as the assembly is in normal operation, - either in a locked condition with the latch means engaged into the receiving members (Fig. 11) or an unlocked condition with the latch means released from the receiving members (Fig. 12), - abut onto one another, however being linked in such a manner that the second bar 2 may automatically retract in relation to the fixedly mounted bar 1 (Fig. 13) in case of an undesired collision of the sliding profile member 15 onto the frame profile member 16 with the latching assembly at a locked condition.
  • Bars 1, 2 are cut at a desired length that represents a portion that might correspond even to approximately the entire length of the vertically extending extruded sliding profile member 15 within which they will be mounted. As shown in Fig. 3, bars 1, 2 correspondingly include:
  • the hereinabove described multipoint latching assembly of the invention includes a plurality of latch means receiving members 11 fixedly mounted onto the vertically extending length of the frame profile member 16, one receiving member 11 for each one of the latch means 7 welded along bar 2 and protruding through the elongated slots 7a of the fixedly mounted bar 1.
  • latch means 7 comprises a main body 17a with a generally thin rectilinear configuration of dimensions such as to pass through slots 7a of bar 1, extending into a bottom pair of legs 17c being expanded during the riveting process of fixedly securing latch means 7 onto the sequentially arranged plurality of points 7b along movable bar 2.
  • the top of main body 17a of latch means 7 is a rectilinear enlarged head 17b that enters into a channel of the receiving member 11 and becomes encaged therein because of the inwardly bent side flanges 11 a thereof.
  • each receiving member 11 is a rectangular plate provided with a pair of end openings 11b receiving a corresponding pair of bolts 14 by means of which the receiving member 11 is fixedly mounted onto the vertically extending length of the frame profile member 16.
  • a pair of inwardly bent side flanges 11a of the receiving member 11 forms a channel for inserting through sliding latch means 7 and in particular of the rectilinear enlarged head 17b thereof and subsequently encaging the same therein.
  • an additional plate 12 of similar rectangular section can be employed.
  • Plate 12 is provided with a pair of upper and lower openings 12b, axially coincident with openings 11b of the rectangular plate 11 of the receiving member, sequentially receiving the same abovementioned pair of bolts 14.
  • Plate 12 is marginally longer than plate 11 of the receiving member and extends into parallel upper and lower protrusions 12a intermediately of which is received the receiving member plate 11.
  • terminal stop members are used, preferably one at the top and another at the bottom of the vertically extending abutting sliding and frame profile members.
  • Each terminal stop member as illustratively shown in Fig.
  • each one of the herein proposed receiving members for the latch means of the invention further comprises an independent terminal stop member 13 ensuring engagement of the latch means 7 within the channel being formed by the inwardly bent side flanges 11a and inhibiting release of latch means 7 from the receiving member 11 that might be attempted by upwardly raising the sliding panel.
  • the terminal stop member 13 has a rectangular section and extends to a bottom leg 13a that fits within the channel being formed by the inwardly bent flanges 11a of the receiving member and includes an opening 13b whereby a bolt 14 passing through this opening 13b and coincident opening 11b of the receiving member fixedly attaches the terminal stop member 13 onto the receiving member.
  • connection of the pair of abutting bars 1 and 2 of the multipoint latching assembly of the invention is being performed on the one hand by means of bolts 3 that accordingly pass through supporting blocks 23 by means of which bar 1 is fixedly mounted against the walls of the sliding profile member and on the other hand by means of the connection means providing the advantageous automatic retraction of bar 2 from bar 1 to inhibit potential damage of protruding latch means due to undesirable collision of the sliding panel onto the fixed frame profile member, wherein bar 2 automatically returns into a condition of abutment onto bar 1 after the abovementioned undesirable collision and return of the multipoint latching assembly at an unlocked condition.
  • each supporting block 23 comprises a pair of elevated side extensions 23a symmetrically extending on either side of a central opening 23b through which passes the abovementioned bolt 3 and a central recession 23c on the basement thereof.
  • Different sliding profile series may employ supporting blocks 23 with slight variations in the configuration and dimensions thereof.
  • the width of supporting blocks 23, as well as the length of the central recession 23c at the basement thereof corresponds to the width of abutting bars 1 and 2 of the multipoint latching assembly, so that the width of supporting blocks 23 does not surpass the width of bars 1 and 2 when such blocks extend linearly along bars 1 and 2, whilst being capable of providing a matching recession of fixedly mounted bar 1 within the recessions 23c at the basement thereof, as supporting blocks 23 are turned at the position of fixedly mounting thereof extending perpendicularly to the abutting bars 1, 2.
  • the novel method of installation of the multipoint latching assembly the invention comprises a first step of assembling the multipoint latching assembly with a plurality of supporting blocks 23 mounted along the abutting bars 1 and 2, so that bolts 3 may sequentially pass through the central openings 23b of the supporting blocks, through the internally threaded openings 3a of bar 1 and through the slots 3b of bar 2, a second step of longitudinal alignment of supporting blocks 23 along abutting bars 1 and 2 so that the assembly of abutting bars 1, 2 and supporting blocks 23 mounted thereupon might be freely inserted through a frontal opening 15c of the sliding profile member 15, a third step comprising a 90° rotation of each one of the supporting blocks 23 so that they may extend perpendicularly onto the abutting bars 1, 2 (Fig.
  • the installation of the multipoint locking assembly of the invention is completed with the installation of a plurality of latch means receiving members 11 onto the vertically extending length of the frame profile member 16, opposite to the sliding profile member 15, each receiving member 11 comprising incorporated additional plate 12 and terminal stop member 13.
  • the number and spacing of receiving members 11 is determined by the number and spacing of the latch means 7 of the multipoint latching assembly protruding through the frontal opening 15c of the sliding profile member 1.
  • the multipoint latching assembly of the invention can be connected to a locking operation handle means already installed onto the sliding profile member, whereby as shown in Fig. 4, a bolt 10 is employed instead of the bolt lock of the locking operation assembly, said bolt 10 sequentially passing through a slot 10a of the frontal fixedly mounted bar 1 and through an opening 10b of the movable rear bar 2 and ending up into being screwed into the mechanism of the locking assembly. Subsequently all latch means 7 mounted onto the multipoint latching assembly of the invention might be alternatively set at a locked or unlocked condition through clockwise or anticlockwise rotation of locking handle means 4a that results in a corresponding upward or downward movement of the movable bar 2 bearing the latch means 7.
  • the multipoint latching assembly as shown in Fig. 5 comprises a self operating handle means 4b and in this case the movable bar 2 comprises a mechanism 20 being mounted by means of rivets 21 passing through openings 21a of bar 2, whereby a shaft means 4b' of the rotatable handle means 4b passes through an opening in the frontal wall of sliding profile member 15 (not shown) to be connected into a central opening 20a of mechanism 20, whereby as handle means 4b rotates, such rotational movement is converted into linear reciprocating movement of bar 2 by means of mechanism 20 and the plurality of latch means 7 are simultaneously set in a locked or unlocked condition correspondingly into the receiving members 11 being installed along the fixed frame profile member 16 by means of a single clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of handle means 4b respectively.
  • abutting bars 1 and 2 are also being connected by means of a plurality of connection means providing the advantageous automatic retraction of bar 2 from bar 1 as shown in Fig. 13, thereby averting damage of the latch means 7 and receiving members 11 in case of an undesirable collision thereof whilst latch means are set at a locked condition, and subsequently providing automatic return of bar 2 at an abutting contact with bar 1 as soon as the multipoint latching assembly is set back into an unlocked condition.
  • a desirable number of such connection means providing for the automatic retraction of bar 2 from bar 1 and subsequent return thereof in abutting contact with bar 1 is employed and preferably a pair of such connection means corresponds to each one of the latch means 7.
  • connection means providing the automatic retraction and return capacity is shown in Fig. 7 as an arrangement of elements bearing the general reference numeral 6 comprising a tubular internally threaded shaft 18a and a bolt 18b.
  • Shaft 18a enters through an opening 6a of bar 1 and bolt 18b enters through a corresponding opposite slot 6b of bar 2, whereby a connection is accomplished with spring 5 being encaged in between tubular shaft 18a and bolt 18b and subsequent screwing of bolt 18b into the internally threaded tubular shaft 18a.
  • a tensile force is exerted onto spring 5 when bar 2 moves away from bar 1 (Fig. 13), thereby storing energy for an automatic return of bars 1, 2 in an abutting condition as soon as one corrects the position of the latch means and the sliding panel may smoothly close onto the fixed frame profile member.
  • the proposed multipoint latching assembly comprises means 9 for the stabilizing thereof at locked condition.
  • Such stabilizing means 9 as shown in Fig. 14 comprises an internally threaded tubular pin 22 including a head with two differing diameters 22a, 22b, a pin 22c and a spring 19.
  • Pin 22 enters through slot 9b of bar 2 and protrudes through opening 9a of bar 1 thereby being wound with spring means 19 and receiving pin 22c that is being screwed therein.
  • slot 9b adapted to receiving the stabilizing assembly has a characteristic form with an elongated portion 9b' and a rounded end portion 9b" with an enlarged diameter.
  • the latching assembly of the invention is free to perform a reciprocating movement.
  • head 22b thereof having a relatively smaller diameter sits within this rounded end portion 9b" thereby stabilizing the multipoint latching assembly of the invention, since head 22b of pin 22 cannot move out of such position unless an axial pressure is exerted along the stabilizing assembly 9 to result in temporary compression of spring means 19 and storage of energy therein such energy being released whenever said pin 22 again arrives at the rounded end portion 9b" of slot 9b.
