Definitions

  • the invention relates to a catch locking mechanism featuring a key mechanism with a lock fail system ensuring that when performing a key locking action, the catch fully engages on the mating socket before the key can be removed from the lock, and in addition it incorporates a catch with a high resilience to forced entry.
  • Catch locking mechanisms of the type incorporating key mechanisms are very popular in securing the movable frame of a door/window against the fixed frame.
  • the most common embodiment of such a catch locking mechanism is one that consists essentially of a casing which houses a slidable member, a catch, a key with a key cylinder, a socket and a mechanism for fastening the casing on the door/window frame.
  • the locking mechanism casing is mounted on the movable door/window frame and provides a housing for the slidable member, on which the catch is attached, and the latter engages on a mating socket fixed on the adjacent door/window fixed frame. When forcing the slidable member to move, the catch moves along with it resulting in its disengagement from the mating socket.
  • the door/window moving frame is free to open.
  • the slidable member is forced to move in the opposite direction and thus engage the catch on the mating socket.
  • the movement of the slidable member can be LOCKED via the use of the key cylinder, which presents a rigid obstacle along the movement path of the slidable member.
  • Catch locking mechanisms such as those described above are primarily used in cases where it is very important that the door/window stays locked at all times unless a key is used to unlock it. Good examples of this are door/windows located in public places and in places used by children.
  • catch locking mechanisms incorporating key mechanisms block the movement of the slidable member without making sure that it is in the right place to ensure the proper engagement of the catch with the socket. As a result it is possible to turn the key to its LOCKED position without actually achieving the locking of the door/window.
  • catch locking mechanisms of the type relating to this invention are used in high security cases, it is very important to have a high resilience against the application of force to open the door/window when in the locked position.
  • the catch locking mechanisms suffer from a relatively weak joint between the slidable member and the catch that tends to break under the application of low tensile loads.
  • EP-A-0869239 discloses a catch lock mechanism with a housing, slidable member and key cylinder.
  • a catch locking mechanism comprising:
  • the catch When turning the key to its LOCKED position, the catch is forced to fully engage with the mating socket, and unless this has been achieved it will not be possible to remove the key from the key cylinder, while achieving a high force joint between the catch and the slidable member which is able to withstand high tensile loads applied on the catch.
  • the key cylinder By providing the key cylinder in a recess on the slidable member of the catch locking mechanism, the whole assembly can be installed in a simple operation from only one side of the door/window it is intended to latch and lock. This is particularly advantageous if gaining access to both sides of the door/window is difficult.
  • Figure 1 provides an illustration of a catch locking mechanism, which comprises a casing 1, a slidable member 2, a key cylinder 3 with a key 15, a catch 4, a mating socket 45, a set of retaining brackets 5, a nut 6, a spring 8, a U-shaped socket 9, a set of pins 10, a screw 11 and a set of countersunk screws 12.
  • the catch locking mechanism is assembled by inserting the U-shaped socket 9 inside the frame 1 and fixing it by means of the two pins 10 and then inserting the slidable member 2 inside the casing 1.
  • the key cylinder 3 is then inserted inside the slidable member 2, the catch 4 is secured in the slidable member 2 socket by means of the screw 11 and nut 6, and the brackets 5 are fastened via the screws 12.
  • the catch locking mechanism is then fully assembled.
  • FIG. 3 shows a series of views of a T-shaped casing 1.
  • the casing 1 consists of a large rectangular opening 23 at the top, two chamfered holes 24 at each end, two rectangular openings 26 (one at each side), one rectangular opening 27 at the bottom, a hollow section 25 running along its length, and two extending flat members 28 (one at each end).
  • Figure 4 shows a series of views of a slidable member 2.
  • the slidable member 2 consists of a circular hole 29 with two grooves 44, a U-shaped ramp 22 leading to a series of teeth 14, a spring socket 31, a screw socket and hole 30, a mechanical stop 36, a U-shaped socket 42 and a series of teeth 32 for locking the catch 4.
  • Figure 5 shows a series of views of a key cylinder 3.
  • the key cylinder consists of a series of spring loaded key plates 33, a retaining spring-loaded plate 34, a projecting pin 19 and two mechanical stops 35.
  • FIG. 6 shows a series of views of a catch 4.
  • the catch consists of an L-shaped flat plate 37, comprising of two holes 43 leading to an oval slot 41, and a rectangular shaped plate 38, consisting of a series of teeth 39 and two projecting pins 40 leading to the oval slot 41, riveted together via the two pins 40.
  • Two pins 40 are provided, instead of the usual one, for riveting the L-shaped flat plate 37 on the rectangular shaped plate 38, thus resulting to higher resilience of the catch against forced opening of the door/window when in the locked position.
  • Figure 7 illustrates the way in which the catch 4 is fixed on the slidable member 2.
  • the catch teeth 39 mate with the slider teeth 32 while being held together by a force generated from the tightening of the screw 11 on the nut 6.
  • the adjustment in the position of the catch 6 with respect to the slidable member 2 can be accommodated by loosening the screw 11 and moving the catch plate 38 with respect to the slidable member teeth 32, so that the next mating position is found.
  • Figure 8 illustrates the way in which the key cylinder 3 is mounted on the slidable member 2.
  • the key cylinder 3 is inserted inside the slidable member hole 29 by compressing the spring loaded retaining plate 34 and it is kept in place via the expansion of the spring loaded retaining plate 34.
  • the key plates 33 are forced to move inwards, thus allowing the key cylinder to freely rotate within the slidable member hole 29. Once it has completed a rotation of 180 degrees the key cylinder stop 35 rests against the slidable member stop 36 and it is no longer possible to continue rotating.
  • Figure 9 shows the position of a pin 19 when the key cylinder 3 is in the UNLOCKED position. At this position the lock can be operated without the need of the key 15 as described above, such that the catch 4 is engaged with the socket 45.
  • the LOCKED position is reached, as shown by figure 10 .
  • the slidable member 2 is not able to move in the direction that will disengage the catch 4 from the socket 45, since the casing part 20 lies in the path of the pin 19, thereby acting as a resilient obstacle which secures the slidable member 2 in the LOCKED position.
  • Figure 11 provides an illustration of the way in which the key failsafe mechanism operates when the catch 4 is disengaged from the socket 45.
