Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a sliding bars closure mechanism for locks in general, in particular intended for use but not necessarily in combination with a cylinder lock for closing wardrobe doors.
  • a ratchet or a moveable catch inserted coaxially into a cylinder is capable of turning only when operated by the related key, thus triggering the simultaneous translation of one or more plate-shaped latches integrally joined to special closure mechanisms.
  • current closure mechanisms are made as metal bars made of flat iron sections, with an end provided with a hole for fastening the lock to the latch, while the other end is configured to engage with the blocking element joined to a wall of the furniture on which the door is mounted, so as to maintain it stably fixed in a closed position.
  • each metal bar especially if of substantial, is guided in its translation along the door by suitable guide elements fixed by means of screws against the internal wall of the of door itself, thus such guide elements being visible when the door is open.
  • each metal bar requires at least a hole drilled at one of the two ends in order to be fixed to the related pin of the sliding latch integrated in the lock.
  • Document FR 1 067 271 A discloses a sliding bars closure mechanism for a lock according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein the bars are directly fastened to the lock at one of their ends and configured to directly engage with the respective blocking element at the other end.
  • Another sliding bars closure mechanism for a lock according to the preamble of claim 1 is disclosed, for example, in document US 5 688 000 A .
  • Another objective of the invention is to provide a sliding bars closure mechanism for locks in which all elements for guiding and/or securing the bars are concealed, thus enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the doors on which such lock and such mechanism are applied.
  • Further objective of the present invention is to provide a sliding bars closure mechanism for locks which is strong, silent and light, simple and economical to manufacture, and compatible with most locks present on the market at the same time.
  • figure 1 shows a sliding bars closure mechanism according to the known art, applied to a lock 100 of the conventional cylinder type.
  • the mechanism comprises a pair of metal bars 102 made of a substantially flat profile or half-round solid section fixed, at their proximal end, to the two opposite latches of the lock 100 by means of a dowel 104 inserted in a hole provided on the bar 102 itself.
  • the distal end of each bar 102 instead is configured to engage with a respective blocking element 106 integrally joined to the walls 108 of a piece of furniture in general.
  • metal or plastic elements 114 which serve as a guide for each bar 102 are integrally joined by means of screws 112, such elements 114 being made as links surrounding the body of the bar itself 102 externally.
  • the lock 100 When operated by the related key 116, the lock 100 is capable of translating both bars 102 at the same time in such a manner that their distal end engages with the blocking elements 106, as shown in figure 1 , thus blocking the door 110 in a closed position.
  • the lock 100 is capable of translating both bars 102 at the same time in such a manner that their distal end engages with the blocking elements 106, as shown in figure 1 , thus blocking the door 110 in a closed position.
  • use of several fastening, guiding and securing elements, all exposed on the internal surface of the related door 110 is evident.
  • the mechanism comprises at least one bar 10 adapted to be fixed, at one of its proximal ends 10a, to the related sliding latch 12 of a lock 14, for example, of the so called cylinder or pin type.
  • the lock 14 is made in such a manner to be fastened in a non-removable manner to the internal surface of a door 16 ( figure 2 ) hinged to a piece of furniture or furnishing element in general, so that such door 16 can be maintained in a closed position through the translation of the bar or bars 10 along the direction defined by its axis and the consequent engagement of the distal end 10b of the bar 10 itself with one or more blocking elements 20.
  • Each blocking element 20, preferably made of plastic material is thus integrally joined, for example by means of threaded 22 ( figure 11 ) or pressure 22' ( figure 13 ) fastening means, to a fixed wall 18 of the piece of furniture itself.
  • the blocking element 20 can also be made in such a manner to be mounted recessed into the thickness of the fixed wall 18 ( figure 12 ) or it can be made in one piece with the pressure fastening means 22' ( figure 13 ).
  • each bar 10 is composed of a hollow tubular section, that is provided with an internal chamber hollow and open at the opposite ends 10a and 10b of the section itself, which is manufactured through extrusion of plastic material and preferably has a rectangular-shaped cross-section.
  • the bar 10 is fixed to the related latch 12 of the lock 14 through the interposition of at least one proximal coupling element 24, made of moulded plastic material, which can be snap-coupled to the proximal end 10a of the bar 10 itself.
  • the proximal coupling element 24 is provided with a portion 26 suitably shaped in such a manner to be inserted into the opening provided at the proximal end 10a of the bar 10. Therefore, on the portion 26 there are one or more teeth 28 which snap-engage, when such portion 26 is completely inserted into the abovementioned opening, with one or more holes 30 made at the proximal end 10a of the bar 10 itself.
  • the proximal coupling element 24 is provided with a plate-shaped portion 32 which can be coupled to the lock 14, for example by providing a hole 34 adapted to accommodate a dowel 34' provided on the latch 12.
  • a snap-inserted distal coupling element 36 made of moulded plastic material, shown in figure 7 in two separate examples of embodiment, also provided with a portion 38 suitably shaped to be inserted inside the opening provided at the distal end 10b of the bar 10.
  • a portion 38 suitably shaped to be inserted inside the opening provided at the distal end 10b of the bar 10.
  • teeth 40 which snap-engage with one or more holes 42 made at the distal end 10b of the bar 10.
  • distal coupling element 36 is provided with an abutment pad 44, adapted to engage with the blocking element 20 to keep the door 16 closed when the lock 14 is operated through the related key (not shown).
  • each hollow tubular bar 10 On the non-exposed wall of each hollow tubular bar 10, that is on the wall intended for sliding coupling of the bar 10 itself with the door 16, there can be one or more slots 46 used as a sliding rail for suitable guide elements 48, 48' ( figure 14 ) applied in a non-removable manner on the internal surface of the door 16.
  • the guide elements 48 preferably made of plastic material and inserted by means of pressure into blind holes provided on the internal surface of the door 16 during the processing step, are arranged along the desired translation path of the bar 10.
  • the guide elements 48' can also be provided in versions which allow them to be fixed to the door 16 by means of screws (not shown) though they are, regardless of their embodiment, always concealed from view and always arranged along the desired translation path of the bar 10. In such manner, with respect to the traditional closure mechanisms where the bars slide within the related guide mechanisms, in the mechanism according to the present invention, it is the bars 10 themselves which serve as a rail for their guide elements 48, 48'.
  • Suitable sliding rails 50 for the guide elements 48, 48' can also be provided on the non-exposed surface, that is the one facing the internal surface of the door 16, of the distal coupling elements 36 other than on the bar 10, for better control the translation movement of each bar 10. The subsequent result is the complete concealment of any guide element for the bars 10.
  • the closure mechanism according to the invention can also be made of plastic material other than metal, in that it is inherently provided with the rigidity required to allow complete safe closure of any door of a wardrobe or piece furniture in general.
  • the sliding bars closure mechanism for locks according to the present invention attains all the objectives described previously.
  • the closure mechanism according to the invention allows obtaining the following advantages:
