Description

  • This invention relates to a lock.
  • The lock is suitable, for example, for a locker or similar item of furniture. Known locks, shown in UK Registered Design No. 4006651 , and FR 2,623,070 , comprise a hasp, which may be generally cylindrical, fixed with respect to the interior of a locker. The hasp protrudes through a through-hole in the door of the locker when the door is closed. The hasp has an eye in its end and a padlock can be locked to the eye, preventing opening of the door.
  • For about 100 years, it has been known to provide a rotatable staple, hasp or other fixture to which a padlock can be fixed. The rotatable fixture is more secure against a burglar, who is denied the leverage that would be required to break the fixture. GB 1914/13483 , FR 1,403,086 , US 6,082,601 and US 4,886,308 are examples of such rotatable fixtures. These known fixtures cannot facilitate locking at the edge of a locker disposed contiguously with another locker. In addition, they are impractical for retrofitting to a locker.
  • Accordingly, the present invention provides a lock according to claim 1.
  • In the event of a blow to the body of the padlock the padlock and hasp will simply rotate to absorb the force.
  • The hasp may extend through the bore of the mounting. In particular, a portion of the hasp having a reduced diameter compared to the remainder of the hasp may extend through the bore. The hasp may be secured to the mounting by means of a fastener connectable to the hasp on an inner side of the mounting.
  • The invention also provides a locker comprising a frame, a door and a lock as described above.
  • The invention will now be described in more detail, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
    • Figure 1 shows a mounting for a lock according to an embodiment of the invention;
    • Figure 2 shows the mounting with a hasp and a fastener;
    • Figure 3 shows the lock in place in a locker; and
    • Figure 4 shows the lock with the door closed and with a padlock in place.
  • Figure 1 shows a mounting 1, e.g. of plastics material, for attaching to the inside of a locker. The mounting comprises a flange 2 having a plurality of screw holes 3 and a fin 4. A bore 5 is provided through the apex of the fin 4.
  • Figure 2 shows a hasp 6 of generally cylindrical form having a proximal part 7, with a diameter corresponding to the internal diameter of the bore 5, and a distal part 8, with a diameter corresponding to that of the radiused apex of the fin 4. The free end of the proximal part 7 is provided with a threaded recess (not shown) into which a screw 9 can be screwed. The distal part 8 has an eye 10 sized to receive the shackle of a padlock.
  • Figure 3 shows the lock in place in the locker, with the flange 2 screwed to an internal surface adjacent a free edge. The hasp 6 is screwed to, but freely rotatable relative to, the mounting 1.
  • Figure 4 shows the lock with the door closed. The eye 10 protrudes from a hole in the door and a padlock 11 is secured to the eye, preventing the door from opening. If the padlock is moved the hasp 6 can rotate.

Claims (5)

  1. A lock comprising a mounting (1) including a flange (2) for attachment to a frame, a bore (5); and an elongate hasp (6) arranged to be seated within the bore, the hasp (6) having an eye (10) at a protruding end of the hasp for locking a door with a padlock (11), the hasp (6) being rotatable with respect to the mounting (1), so that in the event of a blow to body of the padlock (11), the padlock and hasp (6) will rotate to absorb the force; wherein the bore (5) extends generally parallel to the flange (2), the hasp (6) being arranged to protrude through a through-hole in a door that lies substantially at right angles to the frame, and the hasp (6) being of generally cylindrical form and being rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the hasp (6).
  2. A lock according to claim 1, wherein the hasp (6) extends through the bore (5) of the mounting (1).
  3. A lock according to claim 2, wherein a portion (7) of the hasp (6), having a reduced diameter compared to the remainder (8) of the hasp, extends through the bore (5).
  4. A lock according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the hasp (6) is secured to the mounting (1) by means of a fastener (9) connectable to the hasp (6) on an inner side of the mounting.
  5. A locker comprising a frame, a door and a lock according to any preceding claim.
