Description

EASY MOUNTING LOCK ASSEMBLY Technical Field
The present invention relates to an easy mounting lock assembly. Background Art
It is known to use locks that are adapted to be fixed to the external surface of a laminar body (a door, a movable wall, but also an internal lamina of such elements).
These locks comprise a retractable body (the spring latch) which, once assembly has occurred, is adapted to be accommodated within a corresponding seat of an appropriate strike that is fixed to the jamb or to the secondary leaf.
In order to ensure correct operation of the lock, the latch must be aligned perfectly with the corresponding seat; therefore, the lock must be mounted on the respective anchoring surface with maximum precision in order to avoid incorrect mutual arrangements of the latch and of the seat, which may entail jamming or malfunction of the entire lock.
The weight of the lock during mounting on the anchoring surface complicates the mounting operations and often requires the presence of two workers, one to hold the lock in the correct position and one to cope exclusively with fixing.
This mounting very often occurs with the aid of a ladder, since the lock can be installed on the upper part of the door: of course, this specific installation is particularly complicated.
Moreover, the issue that removal of the lock to perform maintenance operations is equally awkward and complicated is not marginal: in this case also the cooperation of two workers may be necessary. Disclosure of the Invention
The aim of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, by providing an easy mounting lock assembly in which it is simple and straightforward to align the lock with the corresponding latch seat.
Within this aim, an object of the invention is to provide an easy mounting lock assembly in which the weight of the lock does not affect the precision and straightforwardness of the mounting operations.
Another object of the invention is to provide an easy mounting lock assembly that is also simple to remove from the anchoring surface if maintenance operations are required.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an easy mounting lock assembly that has a low cost, is relatively simple to provide in practice and is safe in application.
This aim and these and other objects, which will become better apparent hereinafter, are achieved by an easy mounting lock assembly, said lock comprising a frame associated with the anchoring surface, a latch being movable with respect to said frame and being guided by said frame and being functionally associated with respective actuation lever systems controlled by an actuation element, characterized in that it comprises a contoured plate provided with means for coupling to the respective anchoring surface and provided with selective locking elements for said frame, said frame comprising elastically deformable portions designed to engage detachably, in the mounting configuration, with at least one part of said locking elements. Brief description of the drawings
Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become better apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of the easy mounting lock assembly according to the invention, illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a first step of the mounting of a lock assembly according to the invention;
Figure 2 is a perspective view of a second step of the mounting of the lock assembly according to the invention;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of a third step of the mounting of the lock assembly according to the invention;
Figure 4 is a side view of a plate of the lock assembly according to the invention;
Figure 5 is a top view of the plate of the lock assembly according to the invention;
Figure 6 is a partially sectional top view of the lock assembly according to the invention;
Figure 7 is a sectional side view, taken along the line VII-VII of Figure 6, of the lock assembly according to the invention. Ways of carrying out the Invention
With reference to the figures, the reference numeral 1 generally designates an easy mounting lock assembly.
Locks 2 according to the assembly 1 of the invention are the ones of the type that comprises a frame 3, which is associated with the anchoring surface. A latch 4 is movable with respect to the frame 3 and is functionally associated with respective actuation lever systems 5, which are controlled by an actuation element (not visible in the figure, such as for example a handle or a panic bar). It should be noted that the latch 4 is conveniently guided by the frame 3 in its movement: with particular reference to the accompanying figures, the latch 4 can rotate, with respect to an axis 6 that is jointly connected to the frame 3, from a protruding configuration to a retracted configuration.
The assembly 1 comprises a contoured plate 7, which is provided with specific means 8 for coupling to the respective anchoring surface and is provided with selective locking elements 9 for the frame 3.
The frame 3 in turn comprises elastically deformable portions 10, which are adapted to engage detachably, in the mounting configuration, at least one part of the locking elements 9. The contoured plate 7 comprises lateral laminar bands 11 provided with appropriate seats 12 designed to accommodate the elastically deformable portions 10 of the frame 3.
Therefore, the seats 12 in practice constitute one of the locking elements 9.
According to an embodiment of unquestionable interest in practice and in application, the lateral laminar bands 11 comprise inclined end planes 13.
The inclined planes 13 assist the facilitated insertion of the elastically deformable portions 10 between the bands 11 (during the mounting of the lock assembly 1): the insertion operation ends when the portions 10 engage within the seats 12.
In order to ensure optimum fixing to the plate 7 of the lock 2, the locking elements 9 comprise a unit 14 that protrudes, in an upper region, from the contoured plate 7: the unit 14 is adapted to mate stably with a bottom 15 of the lock 2.
In particular, the unit 14 can be constituted by a threaded stem that is jointly connected to the plate 7 (directly welded to it or jointly connected thereto in any other manner). In this case, the lock 2 comprises, in the bottom 15, a hole for accommodating the stem. The stability of the mating between the stem and the bottom hole is ensured by the tightening of an appropriately provided threaded element 16, which is complementary with respect to the stem, on the stem itself, clamping the bottom 15. In practice, a threaded nut tightened onto the stem rigidly couples the bottom 15 to the plate 7.
The elastically deformable portion 10 of the frame 3 is constituted preferably by at least one substantially transverse pivot 17, which expands elastically with respect to the contour of the frame 3 along a respective substantially tubular cavity; elastic expansion occurs by means of an axially-acting spring 18, which is accommodated in such cavity. According to a preferred but not exclusive embodiment, the coupling means 8 comprise at least one through opening for stable engagement of a fixing body 19 that engages within the anchoring surface below the plate 7.
It should be noted that according to an embodiment of particular interest in practice and in application, the at least one through opening is selected preferably among the ones with a slotted shape, for adjustable mounting, and with a hole-like shape.
The operation of the assembly 1 according to the invention is as follows.
Once the plate 7 has been fixed to the anchoring surface, such fixing being simplified by the light weight of the plate 7, it is possible to "engage" therewith the lock 2 simply by arranging the elastically deforaiable portions 10 adjacent to the inclined planes 13, so that the inclined planes 13 contribute to the retraction of the portions within the contour of the frame 3.
By making the lock 2 slide, the elastically deformable portions 10 face the seats 12, exiting again from the transverse cavity of the lock 2 by way of the action of the spring 18.
At this point it is sufficient to lower the lock 2 so that the unit 14 engages in the hole of the bottom 15: the application of the threaded element 16 and the subsequent tightening ensure the locking of the lock 2 on the plate 7.
The mounting operations are therefore particularly simplified.
Removal, if maintenance or replacement of the lock is necessary, also requires merely the removal of the element 16 (simply by unscrewing it) and the application of a simultaneous pressure on the two elastically deformable portions 10 while a movement force is applied to the lock 2.
In case of replacement of the lock 2, it is not necessary also to remove the plate 7, which in practice is universal.
The invention thus conceived is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the appended claims; all the details may further be replaced with other technically equivalent elements.
In the exemplary embodiments shown, individual characteristics, given in relation to specific examples, may actually be interchanged with other different characteristics that exist in other exemplary embodiments.
Moreover, it is noted that anything found to be already known during the patenting process is understood not to be claimed and to be the subject of a disclaimer.
In practice, the materials used, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
Where technical features mentioned in any claim are followed by reference signs, those reference signs have been included for the sole purpose of increasing the intelligibility of the claims and accordingly such reference signs do not have any limiting effect on the interpretation of each element identified by way of example by such reference signs.
