Definitions

  • the present invention relates to safety locks for doors of dwellings, gates, and the like, of the type comprising a frame, a bolt member, mounted movable in the frame and displaceable by means of rotation of a key in the lock between a first position and a second position corresponding, respectively, to the open condition and to the closed condition of the lock, and a plurality of safety plates, or "gorges", arranged in the frame, and displaceable, against the action of spring means, or against the action of gravity, by means of rotation of the key in the lock, towards respective positions of enabling of the movement of the bolt member.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a safety lock of the type indicated at the start of the present description (see also document EP-A-1 154 102 ) that can be adapted to operate with a different key with extremely simple means that are easy and convenient to use and do not entail expenditure in terms of time and costs.
  • the subject of the invention is a safety lock that presents all the characteristics that have been indicated at the start of the present invention and is characterized moreover in that the lock comprises means of arrest for temporarily keeping one or more safety plates in a position moved away from their resting position in such a way as to enable actuation of the lock with a first key, the lock moreover comprising means for deactivating the aforesaid means of arrest, in such a way as to enable actuation of the lock only with a second key different from the first key.
  • the aforesaid deactivation means are shaped and arranged in such a way that they are actuated automatically as a result of the use of the aforesaid second key in the lock.
  • the lock is able to operate initially with the first key, which can thus be the work-site key that is given for use to the workers technically involved in the works of construction or maintenance of the premises that is to be protected by the lock. After that, when the premises are handed over to the owner, the latter simply has to introduce, into the lock, the second key, which is the master key and is his exclusive property and available only to himself, in order to adapt the lock to operate only with the master key.
  • the invention anyway also extends to the case where the adaptation of the lock for operation with the second key or master key, is obtained, not automatically by actuating the lock with the second key, but rather by intervening on the deactivation means envisaged for said purpose.
  • one or more safety plates or gorges are kept in a position moved away from their resting position, against the action of the respective return springs, so as to be deactivated and to enable use of the first key in the lock.
  • the arrangement may be such that the first key, or work-site key, can operate, for example, only through a complete turn of key, thanks to disabling of the gorges, which are temporarily kept in the aforesaid position where they are moved away from their resting position.
  • the master key when the master key is introduced into the lock, it is able to cause release of the aforesaid blocking means so as to render a subsequent actuation of the lock impossible with the old work-site key.
  • All the safety plates or gorges are prearranged for being actuated correctly by the master key so as to enable movement of the bolt member.
  • the aforesaid means of arrest that keep one or more safety plates or gorges temporarily in the aforesaid position moved away from their resting position preferably comprise an arrest member with a catch co-operating with one or more safety plates to keep them in the aforesaid temporary position.
  • Said arrest member is displaceable in the frame of the lock between an active position and an inactive position, and the aforesaid deactivation means preferably comprise cam-actuation means that are activated as a result of the rotation of the second key in the lock.
  • the aforesaid catch of the arrest member is carried by a facilitated-failure part, which breaks when the safety plates are displaced as a result of the use in the lock of the second key, or master key.
  • the invention applies also to locks of the type comprising a lock core that can be dismantled and replaced, in which case the aforesaid means of arrest and the aforesaid deactivation means are associated to the dismantlable core of the lock.
  • the reference number 1 designates as a whole a safety lock of the "double-bit" type comprising a case made of metal plate 2, closed on one side by means of a lid that is not illustrated in the drawing in order to enable illustration of the parts inside the lock.
  • the general structure and operation of the double-bit lock are in themselves known and consequently are not described in detail herein. They are on the other hand illustrated in numerous patents and in numerous patent applications, filed in the name of the present applicant.
  • the lock comprises a bolt member 3 constituted by a metal plate mounted slidably within the case 2 and having an edge, facing which are welded bolt pins 4, mounted slidably through corresponding openings made in a side wall of the case 2.
  • the introduction and rotation of an authorized key within the lock 1 enables control of the displacement of the bolt member between a position corresponding to the open condition of the lock, in which the bolt pins 4 are retracted within the case 2, and a position corresponding to the closed condition of the lock, in which the bolt pins 4 project outside of the case 2 and are received in corresponding seats made in a frame fixed to the doorpost, set adjacent to the door on which the lock 1 is installed.
  • the lock 1 can moreover comprise, in an altogether conventional way, a latch bolt or spring latch 5, pushed elastically towards a position where it is extracted from the case 2 and designed for click-action engagement of a seat in the fixed frame of the doorpost at the moment of closing of the door for withholding the latter in the closed condition even with the bolt member released.
  • the lock comprises a mechanism whereby, when the key has been rotated up to retraction of the bolt pins 4 within the case 2, the key itself is able to perform an overtravel, which controls recession of the latch bolt or spring latch 5 to enable opening of the door from outside, in the typical case where, on the outside of the door, a handle for control of the latch 5 is not provided. Said handle is, instead, normally provided on the inner side of the door.
  • the details of construction regarding the way in which both the bolt member 3 and the safety plates 6 are mounted slidably in the case 2 are not described herein, said details possibly being made in any known way.
  • the safety plates 6 have windows 6a substantially mating with one another and having serrated edges.
  • the safety plates 6 have corresponding openings 6b, for engagement of the key, with top edges 6c that are to be engaged by the serrated edges of two bit appendages of the key (an example of key of this type may be seen in Figure 8 ).
  • the serrated edges of the two bits successively come into contact with the edges 6c of the gorges 6 in such a way that the latter are displaced (vertically upwards, as viewed in Figure 1 ) against the action of elastic means (not visible in Figure 1 ) or against the mere action of gravity.
  • the serrated edges of the windows 6a of the safety plates 6 and the serrated edges of the two bits of the authorized key are shaped in such a way that the authorized key displaces the gorges 6 into positions such as to enable movement of the bolt member 3.
  • the plate forming part of said member has in fact a safety pin 7 (or "mantonnet"), which projects through the windows 6a of the gorges 6 and finds a free corridor between the tips of the teeth of the windows 6a when the gorges have been displaced by means of the key into the position for enabling movement of the bolt member.
  • any safety lock of the double-bit type is applicable to any lock of this type, which envisages a plurality of safety plates or gorges of the type illustrated.
  • the invention extends also, for example, to locks in which the displacement of the gorges will be controlled, instead of with a "double-bit" key, with a cylinder-lock mechanism.
  • the invention is applicable to a lock of the so-called "pump” type, in which the gorges are mounted oscillating about a common axis of articulation, and in which the key has a front serrated edge and must be pushed axially within the lock before being rotated.
  • the idea underlying the present invention consists in the fact that the lock at the moment of its first installation has one or more gorges 6 that are withheld temporarily in a position where they are moved away from the resting position, towards which they are recalled by the respective return springs.
  • a first gorge 6 has a tooth 8 that is engaged against a catch 9 forming part of an arrest member 10 ( Figures 2 , 3 ) in such a way that said gorge 6 is located in a position moved away from its resting position, towards which it is pushed by the respective return spring (not visible in the drawings).
  • the arrest member 10 is constituted by a prismatic block mounted slidably in the case 2 in the same direction of movement as the bolt member 3, between two extreme positions defined by the engagement of an elastic tooth 10a within one or the other of two slits 11, 12 made in the bottom end wall of the casing 2.
  • the lock leaves the factory in the condition illustrated in Figure 1 , so that it is installed with the first gorge 6 withheld in the way that may be seen in Figure 1 in a temporary position, in which it is deactivated.
  • the lock is controllable with a key of a first type, which is typically the work-site key that can be made available to the staff technically involved in the building works.
  • Figure 4 illustrates the lock in the condition of use with the work-site key. Since the first gorge 6 is in its temporary deactivated position, the safety pin 7 finds its way between the teeth of the windows of the gorges throughout a first turn of rotation of the key. At the end of said first turn, the safety pin 7 strikes against a tooth 13, so that further movement of the bolt member is prevented. However, in said condition the bolt pins 4 are extracted, so that the lock can be actuated by means of the work-site key for opening and closing the door on which it is installed.
  • the premises when the premises are handed over to the legitimate owner, the latter uses his master key, inserting it in the lock and rotating it.
  • the master key will be able to actuate the bolt member for both turns of rotation of the key in so far as it is equipped with the profile suited to displacing all the gorges 6 into their position of enabling movement of the bolt member.
  • the safety pin 7 is not arrested by the tooth 13 in so far as the key controls the raising (as viewed in the figures) of the first gorge 6 so as to prevent interference with the tooth 13.
  • the master key will have caused a complete travel of the bolt member and at the same time a displacement of the plate 14 for controlling the top vertical sliding bar by an amount sufficient for bringing a cam 16a into contact with an inclined plane 16 of the arrest member 10 ( Figure 2 ) so as to displace the arrest member 10 towards the left (as viewed in Figure 2 ), into the position illustrated in Figure 3 .
  • a displacement of the plate 14 for controlling the top vertical sliding bar by an amount sufficient for bringing a cam 16a into contact with an inclined plane 16 of the arrest member 10 ( Figure 2 ) so as to displace the arrest member 10 towards the left (as viewed in Figure 2 ), into the position illustrated in Figure 3 .
  • the lock according to the invention originally the lock is actuatable by means of a work-site key, whilst after the first actuation of the lock with the master key, the lock itself will be actuatable only with the master key. Said result is obtained, in the case of the preferred embodiment, with the simple use of the master key in the lock. It is not excluded, however, that the release of the gorges which are withheld in the temporary position can be activated by any other mechanism actuatable manually and purposely by the user.
  • the aforesaid result can be obtained by withholding even just one of the gorges 6 in the aforesaid temporary position.
  • different locks of one and the same premises, which are to operate with different master keys may be actuatable originally with a single work-site key, it is necessary to withhold originally a number of gorges 6 in a deactivated position.
  • Figures 6 , 6a and 6b differs from the one described above simply as regards the way in which the first gorge 6 is withheld in its temporary position.
  • said withholding is obtained by means of the engagement, in a slot 20 made in a side edge of the gorge 6, of a tooth 21 projecting from a fixed appendage 22 (in the specific case a body made of plastic material that functions as casing for the return springs of the gorges).
  • a fixed appendage 22 in the specific case a body made of plastic material that functions as casing for the return springs of the gorges.
  • the material chosen and the arrangement of the parts are such that, when the master key is inserted and used, it causes a vertical movement (as viewed in the figure) of the gorge temporarily withheld by the tooth 21, which causes failure of said tooth, with consequent disabling of the work-site key.
  • Figures 7-10 relate to the case of a lock 1 equipped with a lock core 30 which can be dismantled and replaced.
  • the core of the lock that incorporates a plurality of gorges 6 mounted slidably with respect to a frame 31 of the core 30.
  • the core also comprises a plate constituting the bolt member 3, which, in the mounted condition of the core within the case of the lock, is coupled, in a way in itself known, with a plate connected to the bolt pins 4.
  • the first one of the gorges 6 is withheld in its temporary position in so far as its tooth 33 is engaged on an appendage 34 of the arrest member 10.
  • the latter has an appendage 35 with a catch engageable selectively in one or in another of two slits (just one of which may be seen in Figure 10 , alongside the appendage 35) made in a plate forming part of the frame of the lock core. Insertion of the master key causes deactivation of the arrest member 10 in so far as the bolt member 3 has a pin 36 that comes into contact with a wall 37 of the arrest member 10. Otherwise, the structure and operation are altogether similar to the ones already described above.
  • the lock according to the invention is able to achieve the purpose of enabling actuation with a work-site key in an initial stage and then of disabling said work-site key and enabling the master key with extremely simple operations, without expenditure in terms of time and without any additional costs in the manufacture of the lock.
  • the result is obtained in an extremely simple and convenient way for the user in so far as it is precisely the first use of the master key that causes disabling of the work-site key.
  • Figures 11-16 illustrate a further embodiment of the lock according to the invention, which enables a considerable increase in the number of locks that originally can be controlled by one and the same work-site key and subsequently can be adapted to operate with different master keys, so as to be totally independent of one another (something that in the first embodiment described above is possible, but limitedly to a smaller number of locks).
  • Figure 11 illustrates the lock in conditions of initial supply in the work-site version.
  • the lock actuated by its special work-site key which is the same for all the locks, has the possibility of performing just two of the four throws possible, as already described previously.
  • the lock is further provided with a lever 101 mounted oscillating via a pin 101a on the plate 3 of the bolt member and equipped with a tooth 102, which, under the action of a spring 103, is forced to remain in contact on the coded gorge 6 (for clarity and convenience of illustration the other gorges are not represented).
  • the bolt member 3 would not have the possibility of moving, in so far as the tooth 102 would prevent advance thereof since it would not find the slit 108 on account of the different code of the gorge or gorges 6, which is/are released with the insertion of the master key (according to the level of mastering, up to six gorges can be provided).
