Definitions
- the present invention relates to a latch system for use on doors and windows featuring multiple locking points.
- Latches are very common on aluminum, wooden and PVC doors/windows to provide a locking system. These latches are usually mounted on the door/window leaf and comprise an adjustable catch that engages on a socket mounted on the door/window frame. Since most designs consist of only one catch, the overall security provided by the lock against forced entry is limited by the strength of the catch and/or the mating socket. In addition, while a forced entry is in progress on a door/window equipped with a single point latch it is possible to pivot the window against the single locking point and use a lever to bend the door/window leaf thus succeeding in an entry. In addition, the provision of multiple latches on a single door/window frame can be time-consuming and complex for a user to lock securely.
- An aim of the present invention is to address the drawbacks outlined above by providing a latch system with multiple locking points spaced away from the latch body.
- the number of locking points is variable and depends on the height of the door/window as well as the required security against forced entry.

- The latch may be arranged to be fixed, in use, to the leaf such that the majority of a main body of the latch extends inside the leaf.
- The latch may include side openings such that the catch partly extends beyond the main body of the latch on both sides thereof.
- The latch may be arranged such that a locking action moves the catch through a predetermined distance in order that the catch engages with a mating socket.
- A portion of the catch may extend beyond the latch body and may allow engagement with the moveable rod.
- The catch may be arranged to be moveable with respect to the latch whilst maintaining its engagement with the nearby moveable rod, thus accommodating installation requirements.
- The moveable rod and the latch catch may be arranged to engage with one another in use, such that the rod and the latch catch are arranged to move an equal distance to, and in the same direction of movement as, one another.
- The moveable rod and the satellite locking catch may be arranged to engage with one another in use, such that the rod and the satellite locking catch are arranged to move an equal distance to, and in the same direction of movement as, one another.
- The satellite locking catch may be arranged such that the distance between a satellite locking catch main body and the catch is adjustable.
- The satellite locking catch may be arranged such that it is only moveable along the longitudinal axis of the frame channel.

- Figures 8A-8E are top, side, cross-sectional (along line A-A), rear side and bottom views respectively, of a socket according to the present invention;
- Figure 9 is a view of the latch and socket as fitted on the door/window according to the present invention;
- Figure 10 is a view of the satellite locking catch and socket as fitted on the door/window according to the present invention;
- Figure 11 is a view of a multiple locking points latch system in an assembly configuration according to the present invention;
- Figures 1A-1 F show a series of views of a latch 1 according to an example of the present invention. The latch comprises a
casing 19, aninternal slider 2, a catch 4, fixing means to fix the catch 4 on theinternal slider 2 and fixing means to fix thecasing 19 on a door/window leaf 17 (figure 9). The locking and unlocking action is controlled by the longitudinal movement of theinternal slider 2 with respect to thecasing 19, which in turn moves the catch 4 an equal distance in the same direction since catch 4 is securely mounted on theinternal slider 2. Of great importance to this invention is the length of the catch 4, which extends beyond thelatch casing 19 on both sides as shown by the twonarrow bars 20 and the head of the catch 4. - Figures 2A-2C show a series of views of the catch 4. In one example of the invention the catch 4 has an 'L' shape as shown in Figures 2A and 2B. The length of the longer portion of the L-shaped body is arranged so that when mounted on the
slider 2 it extends beyond thecasing 19 on both sides. - Figures 3A-3C show a series of views of a moving
rod 6. Therod 6 is comprised of a cross-sectional shape that allows it to slide freely inside a door/window channel 22 (see figure9), one ormore openings 21 that allow it to engage with the satellite locking catch and one ormore openings 7 that allow it to engage with the catch 4 extendingbars 20. - Figures 4A-4E show a series of views of a satellite locking catch 8
main body 23. Themain body 23, when viewed from one of its ends (Figure 4D), includes an inverted 'T' component that allows it to slide freely inside the door/window channel 22 and twowings 27 that offer support to thebody 23 against side forces while it is inserted in the door/window channel 22. As shown in Figure 4A thesatellite locking catch 8 has acircular opening 30 revealing acylindrical area 26 and thread 29 (Figure 4C). As shown in figure 4B, it is composed of twocircular pins 12, one at each end. Additionally, thesatellite locking catch 8 has a square opening 31 (Figure 4E) leading to a step which reveals thethread 29. - Figures 5A-5D show a series of views of the
screw catch 9. Thescrew catch 9 is preferably in the form of a screw with an 'L' -shaped head resembling a hook. As shown in Figure 5B it incorporates a narrow slot that allows the insertion of a straight screwdriver so as to assist a rotating action. The head has aninclined face 32, as shown in Figure 5C, that mates perfectly with a socket inclined face 33 (see figure 8). - Figures 6A-6C show a series of views of a
lock insert 11. As shown in figure 6A, thelock insert 11 includes a hollowcircular tube 35 that sits on top of asquare plate 34. Acircular hole 29 which has a diameter which is less than thescrew catch diameter 10 is provided, such that when screwing the screw catch 9 inside the lock insert hole 29 a tight fit is obtained. Thecircular tube 35 and theplate 34 are marginally larger than thesatellite locking catch 8 so as to create a force fit while thelock insert 11 is pushed insidecylindrical area 26. - Figures 7A-7D show a series of views of the
satellite locking catch 8 in full assembly configuration. As shown in Figure 7C, thelock insert 11 is force fitted inside themain body 23 such that it is not able to rotate with respect to themain body 23. Thescrew catch 9 is screwed inside themain body 23 and held in position via the application of frictional force by thelock insert 11. The distance between thescrew catch head 9 and themain body 23 can be varied via the clockwise or anticlockwise turning of thescrew catch 9 via a screwdriver. At all positions the screw catch is prevented from turning on its own due to the application of frictional force by the lock insert 11. - Figures 8A-8E show a series of views of a
socket 14. Thesocket 14 has a rectangular body with arectangular opening 36, a circular opening with astep 37 and an oval opening with astep 38. Theopenings socket 14 on a door/window frame 18 shown in Figure 9. The first step in mounting thesocket 14 on the door/window frame 18 is to insert thefastener 16 through theopening 38, which is oval, and allows for vertical adjustment of thesocket 14 with respect to the door/window frame 18. Having completed the adjustment, thesecond fastener 16 is inserted via theopening 37 so as to securely mount thesocket 14 on the door/window frame 18 and prevent it from moving vertically with respect to the door/window frame 18. Thesocket 14 also comprises an inclined face 33 which is in perfect mate with theinclined face 32 ofscrew catch 9 and catch 4. As shown by the side view of Figure 8D, thesocket 14 has atriangular groove 40 that is, as shown in Figure 9, in perfect match with the door/window frame shape 18 at the point of mounting. - Figure 9 is a view of the door/
window leaf 17 andframe 18 just above the latch 1. It is of great importance that the catch 4 extends beyond thelatch casing 19 on both sides. On one side the catch 4 engages with thesocket 14 to provide a locking action and to the other side it engages with the movingrod 6. As shown in Figure 9 the movingrod 6 is free to slide vertically along theleaf 17channel 22. Since the catch 4 extends well into the movingrod 6, it allows for horizontal movement of the catch 4 with respect to thelatch slider 2 so as to accommodate fitting requirements and still be engaged with the movingrod 6. - Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view of the door/
window leaf 17 andframe 18 just above thesatellite locking catch 8. As seen in Figure 10 the clearance between the satellite locking catch inverted 'T'section 13 and the door/window leaf 17channel 22 is such that it allows for free slide of thesatellite locking catch 8 inside thechannel 22 along its axis. In addition the mating of thesatellite locking catch 8 inverted 'T'section 13 and the door/window leaf 17channel 22 is such that it does not allow for horizontal movement of thesatellite locking catch 8 with respect to the door/window leaf 17. It is also important to note that the clearance between the satellite lockingcatch wings 27 and the door/window leaf 17channel 22 is so small that does not allow the rotation of thesatellite locking catch 8 with respect to the door/window leaf 17channel 22. - Figure 11 show a side view of the multiple locking points latch system in full assembly configuration, when it is mounted on a door/window. It is important to note that the moving
bar 6opening 7 engages with the catch 4narrow bars 20 and thesatellite locking catch 8pins 12 engage with the movingbar 6openings 21 at both ends. - By using additional moving
rods 6 it is possible to connect several satellite locking catches 8. By varying the length of the movingrod 6 the distance of the satellite locking catches 8 from the latch 1 can be adjusted. When a locking action is performed thelatch slider 2 moves upwards with respect to thelatch casing 19 and since the catch 4 is securely mounted on theslider 2, it moves an equal distance in the same direction. Since the movingrod 6 is engaged with the catch 4 and further more the satellite locking catches 8 are engaged with the movingrod 6, theslider 2 movement results in an equal travel in the same direction of the catch 4 and all the satellite locking catches 8 that are engaged on the movingrod 6. This upward movement results in the engagement of thesockets 14 with the catch 4 and thescrew catch 9 and the multiple locking action is fully realised. - The multiple locking latch system of the present invention therefore provides a far more secure locking system which is effective against forced entry whilst being simply employed by a user.
