Definitions
- the invention falls within the technical field of door and window locks and relates to a striker for a lock and an installation method thereof.
- the term "striker” identifies the component that is installed in a cavity fashioned, in general, in the the fixed frame of a door or window and which is suitable for receiving the locking members of the lock, for example a latch or a bolt or a hook-bolt.
- the latch, bolt or another member is engaged in the striker when the door or window leaf on which the lock is installed is in the closed position, i.e. when it is substantially aligned with the fixed frame.
- a striker for a lock comprises a receiving body having a housing suitable for receiving a locking member of the lock.
- a striking plate is installed on the fixed frame in such a way that a through opening thereof is positioned so as to coincide with an access opening of the cavity in which the striker is inserted.
- the through opening of the striking plate is aligned with the aforesaid housing of the receiving body.
- the purpose of the striking plate is to reinforce the fixed frame to make the lock more secure, and further to cover any imperfections due to the cutting operation necessary to obtain the cavity.
- the striking plate defines an abutment surface for the latch when the door or window leaf is closed.
- the receiving body is shaped like a tray and has dimensions such as to fit into the cavity fashioned in the fixed frame, so that a base wall of the tray is disposed in a position facing and in proximity to a bottom wall of the cavity.
- the striker comprises a pair of retaining elements made of elastically flexible material, typically plastic; the function of the retaining elements is to enable the insertion of the receiving body inside the cavity and, once said body has been inserted, to prevent the extraction thereof.
- each retaining element has an inclined portion which defines a lead-in suitable for enabling the insertion of the receiving body into the cavity and a tooth that opposes an edge of the striking plate to prevent the receiving body from slipping out of the cavity. More precisely, when the striker starts to be inserted into the cavity, the inclined lead-in portions, protruding relative to the area occupied by the receiving body, come into contact with the striking plate, which forces the retaining elements to bend towards the inside of the housing of the receiving body.
- the retaining elements have enough space to go back into an unbent position, so that each tooth opposes an edge of the striking plate, thereby preventing the striker from slipping out of the striking plate and thus being extracted from the cavity.
- a particularly felt need in the art is to be able to extract the striker rapidly, so as to be able to replace or adjust it based on the size of the cavity.
- reversible strikers which are asymmetrical relative to a transversal plane thereof and can thus be rotated by 180°, so as to compensate for any misalignment between the locking members of the lock and the housing of the receiving body, when the door or window leaf is aligned with the fixed frame.
- Said misalignments can be caused, for example, by dimensional tolerances or errors arising during the execution of the cavity in the fixed frame.
- An example of a reversible striker is shown in document EP2248968 in the name of the same Applicant.
- the strikers according to the prior art must always be installed in combination with the striking plate.
- the striker In the absence of the striking plate it is not possible to maintain the striker inside the cavity in order to extract it if necessary at a later time. If the striker were installed without a striking plate, in fact, it would have to be wedged inside the cavity and would no longer be extractable.
- the presence of the striking plate renders the extraction of the striker more laborious (it is necessary to remove the striking plate) and even impossible (if the striking plate is not removed).
- the technical task at the basis of the present invention is to propose a striker for a lock which overcomes the drawbacks of the above- mentioned prior art.
- Another object of the present invention is to produce a striker for a lock which can be used with and without a striking plate.
- a further object of the present invention is to propose a striker for a lock that is reversible.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a simplified installation method.
- FIG. 1 to 4 illustrate side sectional views of a striker according to the invention, during a step of inserting a supporting frame into a cavity;
- FIG. 5 to 8 illustrate side sectional views of the striker shown in figures 1 to 4, during a step of extracting a supporting frame from a cavity;
- FIG. 9 and 10 illustrate front views of a striker according to the invention, under a condition of use on a supporting frame and wherein the striker shown in figure 9 is rotated by 180° relative to the striker shown in figure 10;
- FIG. 1 1 to 14 illustrate side sectional views of a striker according to the invention, during a step of inserting a second type of supporting frame into a cavity;
- FIG. 15 to 18 illustrate side sectional views of the striker shown in figures 11 to 14, during a step of extracting a second type of supporting frame from a cavity;
- FIG. 19 and 20 illustrate front views of a striker according to the invention, under a condition of use on a second type of supporting frame and wherein the striker shown in figure 19 is rotated by 180° relative to the striker shown in figure 20.
- the termine "striker” identifies the component that is installed in a cavity fashioned, in general, in the fixed frame of a door or window and which is suitable for receiving the locking members of the lock, for example a latch or a bolt or a hook-bolt.
- the present invention relates to a striker for a lock provided with a means capable of rendering it rapidly and easily extractable from a cavity of a supporting frame.
- a striker according to the present invention can be used both in combination with a striking plate fixed to the fixed frame and directly on the frame, when the latter is made of metallic material.
- metallic material must be understood also to include materials made of a metal alloy or coated with metal or a metal alloy.
- the present invention further relates to a method for installing a striker on metal frames which advantageously enables the use of a striking plate to be avoided.
- a striker according to the invention is denoted in its entirety by the number 1.
- the striker 1 comprises a receiving body 2 having a housing 2a (which may be seen better in figures 9, 10, 19 and 20) suitable for receiving a locking member (not illustrated) of a lock, for example a latch, a bolt, a hook-bolt or the like.
- a locking member for example a latch, a bolt, a hook-bolt or the like.
- the lock is typically installed on a door or window leaf (not illustrated), according to methods that are known and thus not further described.
- the receiving body 2 is insertable into a cavity of a supporting frame, for example a fixed strike jamb for a door or window leaf.
- the frame is indicated with the number 100 and can be made of wood or a structurally similar material; in such a case, the cavity is preferably defined by a hole 101 obtained by removing material, for example by means of a cutting operation.
- the frame is indicated with the number 200 and can be made of metal; in such a case, the cavity is defined by an empty space 201 inside the frame.
- the striker 1 comprises at least one retaining element 3 associated with the receiving body 2 and switchable from a release condition (for example figures 2 and 12), in which the receiving body 2 is insertable in the cavity 101 , 201 , and a locking condition (for example figures 3 and 13), in which the retaining element 3, after the insertion of the receiving body 2 into the cavity 101 , 201 , acts on an engagement portion 5 associated with the supporting frame 100, 200 in such a way as to maintain the receiving body 2 inserted in the cavity 101 , 201.
- a release condition for example figures 2 and 12
- a locking condition for example figures 3 and 13
- the above-mentioned engagement portion 5 consists of an edge of a striking plate 55 fixed onto the frame 100, preferably by means of a pair of screws 65.
- the above-mentioned engagement portion 5 consists directly of a portion of the frame and preferably an edge of the access opening which delimits the cavity 201.
- a striking plate given that it is the frame itself that performs the functions typical of the striking plate.
- the retaining element 3 is connected to the receiving body 2, preferably at a base wall 2b of the latter.
- the striker comprises a pair of retaining elements 3 disposed in opposing positions along a longitudinal direction L of extension of the receiving body 2 (figures 9, 10, 19 and 20).
- the striker 1 comprises an abutting means 6 for applying and transferring a force on the retaining element 3 to make it switch from the locking condition (for example figures
- said abutting means 6 comprises at least one recess operatively associated with the retaining element 3 and suitable for cooperating with a tool, for example a tip 300 of a screwdriver (figures 5, 6, 15 and 16).
- said recess is fashioned on a surface of the receiving body 2 in a position adjacent to the retaining element 3, in such a way as to be at least partially delimited by a portion of the retaining element itself, which may be better seen in figures 4 and 14.
- the abutting means comprises at least one element protruding from the receiving body, for example a tab, operatively associated with the retaining element.
- the protruding element is solidly connected to the retaining element, so that a force applied on the protruding element is immediately transferred to the retaining element to make it switch from the locking condition to the release condition.
- the abutting means is conformed so as to enable the application and transfer of a force F1 in a direction such as to induce an angular shift of the retaining element 3 by rotation about an axis passing through a centre of rotation associated with the retaining element itself.
- the force F1 causes a mechanical moment having an arm whose length is equal to the distance between the point of application of the force F1 and the above-mentioned centre of rotation.
- the retaining element 3 is made of flexible material, for example elastomeric material, preferably plastic, and said centre of rotation is defined by a so-called plastic hinge 33 which enables a bending deformation of the retaining element 3 in the direction indicated by the arrow S1 , as a result of the application of the force F1 on said abutting means 6.
- plastic hinge identifies the typical behaviour of materials having a certain elasticity, which permits a relative rotation between the internal cross sections of an object subjected to a mechanical moment.
- the angular shift of the retaining element 3 is directed toward the inside of the housing 2a suitable for receiving the locking member of the lock.
- the retaining element 3 has an inclined portion 3a suitable for entering into contact with the above-mentioned engagement portion 5 so as to induce a rotation of the retaining element 3 such as to permit the insertion of the receiving body 2 inside the cavity 101 , 201.
- the retaining element 3 comprises a tooth 3b suitable, in use, for opposing the above-mentioned engagement portion 5, in order to maintain the receiving body 2 inserted in the cavity 101 , 201.
- the receiving body 2 comprises a facing edge 22 distal from the tooth 3b in order to delimit an interspace 53, inside which said engagement portion 5 associated with the supporting frame 100, 200 abuts when the receiving body 2 is inserted in the cavity 101 , 201.
- the striker 1 comprises spacer elements 30, 40 of different sizes laterally delimiting the above-mentioned housing 2a so as to define it asymmetrically in the receiving body 2 in such a way that, when said receiving body 2 is inserted in the cavity 101 , 201 , the spacer elements 30, 40 are resting on side walls of the cavity, so that the housing 2a assumes an unaligned position relative to a longitudinal direction of extension of the cavity.
- the abutting means 6 is interposed between the spacers 30, 40 and positioned along said longitudinal axis of extension of the cavity.
- the abutting means enables a rapid extraction of the striker and an immediate adjustment thereof, by means of a 180° rotation that causes the spacers to exchange positions relative to the cavity, so as to dispose the housing 2° according to a different alignment relative to said longitudinal axis of extension of the cavity.
- the engagement portions 5 force the retaining elements 3 to bend towards the inside of the housing 2a of the receiving body 2 and assume, therefore, said release condition.
- the functioning of the invention entails inserting tools, for example screwdriver tips 300, inside the recesses and then acting on the latter to bend the retaining elements 3 and thus disengage the teeth 3b so as to uncouple the striker 1 from the striking plate (if present) or frame.
- inserting tools for example screwdriver tips 300
- the retaining elements 3 go back into an unbent position and the striker 1 is thus ready to be inserted into the cavity again, possibly after being rotated by 180°, if it is of reversible type, and according to what was previously described.
- the edge 22 is positioned in a recess fashioned in the striking plate or frame in proximity to the engagement portions 5, so that the striker is installed flush with the striking plate or frame.
- the edge 22 can be on top of the engagement portions of the striking plate or frame, that is, it is not envisaged to make any recess. In such a circumstance, the striker will not be installed flush with the striking plate or frame.
- the method for installing a striker for a lock comprises the following steps:
- the method according to the invention thus achieves the important advantage of being able to install the striker inside the cavity of the frame without wedging it in and being able to remove it rapidly and safely, without the use of any striking plate.
