Description
SECURITY LATCH AND CHAIN LOCK
This invention relates to a security latch with an automatic chain lock primarily for use on doors but can be used to secure any opening device which requires automatic restraint for security reasons after initial opening, as well as providing a secure automatic lock when closing the door. Both latch and chain lock can be released from the opposite face of the door to which it is attached. This invention allows for the automatic retention of the chain with a security latch thus providing for double security for a door on being closed, whether the occupant is staying in the house or leaving it.
There are a number of chain locks of varying descriptions in use but all require an extra operation, after closing the door, to apply the chain lock.
No chain lock device in current use can be released from the opposite face of the door to which it is attached.
According to the first aspect of this invention a horizontal 'U' shaped device, henceforth called a 'U' hook is so mounted that on closing the door it will automatically hook on to a ball to which is attached a chain and its weight.
The inner face of the 'U' hook contains a rising 45 degree ledge which has an angle of lift in the range between 20 degrees-90 degrees, preferably between 45 degrees-70 degrees, and more preferably is substantially 60 degrees.
The prime object of the ledge is initially to pick a ball up, to which is attached a chain, and raise the said ball to a position near the top of the 'U' hook.
The position of the ledge at the top of the 'U' hook being between lmm and lOmm from the top of the 'U' hook, preferably between 2 and 6mm and more preferably is substantially 3mm.
The ball diameter can be between lOmm and 50mm, -preferably between 15mm and 30mm and more preferably is substantially 25mm.
In all cases the major diameter of the 'U' hook must equal the ball diameter with the minor diameter of the hook being between 3 and 7mm and more-preferably 5mm smaller than the major diameter.
The weight of the mass attached to the chain must be sufficient to hold the ball securely in its retainer and must therefore be at least heavier than the ball by between 25%-200%, and preferably 40%-100%.
Alternatively the weight could be replaced with a tension spring which has an expansion of between 30 200mm, preferably 50-150mm and more preferably is substantially 75mm-lOOmm, but exerts a load which is always greater than the mass of the ball.
The 'U' hook which protrudes from the door edge is mounted to a base plate which is itself fixed to the door.
On closing the door the 'U' hook will pick up the ball which is held in a retainer mounted on the door frame. Having raised the ball from its retainer to the top of the 'U' hook it is now held in position with a spring loaded latch which has a swivel point at one end.
The latch contains a scalloped end so that the ball can rest neatly within the latch. The radius of the scallop matching that of the ball.
Beneath and behind the scallop the latch protrudes between 5mm and lOmm for a length of between 10 and 25mm in order to allow the latch to interlock with the ball retainer which also contains a raised tongue of similar height to the protruding lower edge of the latch, and having a similar length to the same protruding position of the latch.
The restraining spring of the latch may be of tension or compression type and will exert a load of between i to 2 Kgs and more preferably 1 to 14 Kgs.
The ball performs an important mechanical operation as well as providing the means for the automatic latching of the chain lock.
During the closure of the door the ball provides the cam action for the automatic raising of the latch to a position where it can automatically interlock with the retainer during its downward action. In order to aid this operation the latch carries a small chamfer of between 30 degrees and 60 degrees on its lower rear edge. Alternatively this chamfer can be replaced with a radius of between 6-lOmm.
The base plate in its centre carries a cam which is in contact with the latch. This cam provides the manual means for opening the door from either the inside or outside face.
To one end of the cam is attached an 'L' shaped or round handle, while the opposite end of the cam carries a slot which is used to locate a flat connector arm which is attached to the lock on the outer face of the door. The lock can be rotated by use of a key which in turn rotates the link arm and hence the cam into which it is inserted.
The cam is held under tension with a tension or compression spring and more preferably a tension spring which provides a load of between * Kg to 14 Kg and more preferably between i Kg to 1 Kg.
The cam is mounted between two bearings one mounted in the base plate and the other in the outside protective cover for the whole mechanism.
Where remote control may be required the cam could be rotated via an electric or pneumatic rotary actuator or alternatively the cam can be replaced with a linear solenoid actuator which can be pneumatically or electrically actuated.
Rotating the cam through about 20-30 degrees allows the latch to rise far enough for it to un hook from its retainer yet still retain the ball. The degree of rotation depending upon the lift angle of the cam and the depth of interlock between the latch and its retainer.
As the latch still has the ball in retention it will automatically pull the chain through the retainer until the weight attached to the chain comes into contact with the retainer and stops all further movement of the door, thus providing the security this device claims.
Rotation of the cam through 30 degrees to 120 degrees, or preferably 40 to 90 degrees or more preferably is substantially 60 degrees, will allow the latch to rise until it is in contact with the mechanism's cover at which point the ball is released from the 'U' hook. It is important to ensure that there is considerable movement during rotation of the cam between these two important release points to ensure that the door will always be initially opened on the chain and will not easily release the ball and chain.
For added safety the cam carries a check lever which will strike a check plate when rotated in a clockwise direction. The check plate being so positioned than only the interlocking action between the latch and its retainer is released. The cam is free to rotate in an anti-clockwise direction until the latch strikes the mechanism cover to release the ball.
This second check feature ensures the cam cannot be over rotated and will therefore always automatically return to its neutral position under the load exerted by both its own retention springs and the load exerted by the latch's retention spring.
A further additional safety feature which ensures that the latch cannot be raised by pulling the chain up in a vertical direction is the positioning of a restraining bar behind the latch which screws into the edge of the base plate and is further retained within the mechanism's cover.
To give additional strength to the mechanism the cam contains a slot which will retain the latch, while a further guide bar can be found on top of the U-hook through which the latch will slide, thus providing a solid sliding action for the latch.
In addition the cam can be provided with extra support from a lower support which protrudes from the base plate and which is so shaped that it carries a depression which equals part of the circumference of the cam in a radial manner.
Some embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings of which,
FIG 1. Shows in perspective the security latch
and chain lock in operation with the door
partially open.
FIG 2. Shows a side view of the mechanism which
illustrates the latching mechanism which
locks the door on closing, together with
an activated alarm system and alternative
tension spring to replace the weight if
required.
FIG 3. Shows a front view of the complete
mechanism as attached to the door.
FIG 4. Shows a plan view of the mechanism as
attached to the door.
FIG 5. Shows an end on view of the mechanism,
with the door ajar and retaining the
ball and chain check mechanism.
FIG 6. Shows an end on view of the mechanism with
the door closed, showing the latch
interlock and ball retention, note the
ball resting within the scalloped
portion of the latch.
Referring to FIG 1. the latching mechanism is shown attached to base plate 15 which is screwed onto the door 1 via four wood screws 16.
The ball retaining mechanism 3 is screwed to door frame 2 via two wood screws 4.
FIG 1. shows the solid ball 10 resting in 'U' hook 12 and being retained with latch 13 which is held in position with spring 21 which is under tension, the spring is held in position via two spring retention pins one-of which 19 is attached to latch 13 and the other 20 being attached to the base plate. iS
The restraining chain 7 is shown attached to ball 10, it passes under latch 13 and bar restraint 25 before falling through hole 6 found in the ball retainer 3. The chain is retained in the ball with spring pin 11. The other end of the chain is attached to weight 8 and held in position with spring pin 9.
To Release the ball cam 17 is rotated using handle 18 which locates in a slot 27 within the cam and is held in position via screw 26.
Rotation of cam 17 in either a clockwise or non clockwise direction will raise latch 13 in a vertical manner via swivel 14, until ball 10 is free to run down the guide rails 28 which are found inside 'U' hook 12.
Weight 8 is of sufficient mass to pull chain 7 through hole 6 in retainer 3 until ball 10 is resting on top of hole 6. The door is now free to open.
On closing the door the lower rear edge of latch 13 which has a suitable chamfer 30 which will strike the upper half of the ball 10 allowing latch 13 to rise as it follows the outer radius of ball 10. At the same time U-hook 12 picks up ball 10 from its retainer 3 at a point on the lower half of ball 10. The ball 10 is now raised up within U-hook 12 utilising the sloping guide rails 28 which are located within 'U'-hook's 12 inner face.
The guide rails 28 are designed to effectively lift ball 10 in a vertical motion as 'U' hook 12 moves in a horizontal motion. The net effect of this reaction is to ensure ball 10 has sufficient cam action to not only lift latch 13 over ball 10 but also to ensure the latch will carry far enough to interlock within slot 5 which is found in ball retainer 3.
When closing the door with ball 10 held in position within 'U'-hook 12 by latch 13, the latch will still rise automatically on contact with the retainer 3, by following the outer curve found on tongue 29 which forms part of slot 5 within retainer 3. Latch 13 has a similar radius at point 30 on its lower rear edge.
Spring 21 which keeps latch 13 in position is of sufficient strength to allow for a smooth rising of the latch through cam action from ball 10 or tongue 29 without having to slam the door, but the spring is so designed that the latch will always be firmly held in its down position at rest.
FIG 2 and 6 shows the interlock action between latch 13 and ball retainer 3. Latch 13 having come to rest in this position automatically from either following the outer curvature of ball 10 with its own interlocking tongue 31, or from following the radius found on the raised tongue 29 found on ball retainer 3.
The inner guide rail 28 is shown dotted within 'U' hook 12. This guide rail 28 is used to lift ball 10 from its rest position in ball retainer 3 to the top of 'U' hook 12.
Also shown is alarm contact 43 mounted close to or in contact with weight 8 which can swing freely is mounted within a guide tube 44 which is screwed to door frame 2 in order to stop it swinging and damaging the door frame or its surrounding area. The contact alarm 43 can be set for automatic or manual operation.
A time delay is incorporated within the automatic circuit to allow for normal entry, but where forced entry is used the time delay will come into operation to operate an alarm. This panel also incorporates a manual button or other activating device which can be operated by the householder where the intruder tries to force open the door after initial delatching and yet is still restrained by the chain.
Such manual operation setting off the alarm to alert other personnel within the vicinity that the householder is in trouble.
The other end of cam 17 locates within a bearing hole 36 found in cover 37 which locates over the complete mechanism and is held firmly in position through screw hole 38 which matches with the threaded hole 39 found in 'U' hook 12.
FIG 2. also shows next to the weight a tension spring which could replace the weight. The tension spring 46 being hooked onto chain 7 and anchored to door frame 2 via an anchored plate 47 and wood screws 48.
FIG 3. shows a front view of the latching mechanism attached to a door. 'U' hook 12 is shown extending from the edge of its mounting plate 15. The inner ledge 32 is shown as a dotted line, and it is this ledge that supports the ball. Cam 17 is shown in the centre of mounting plate 15 together with its rotating handle 18 and retaining screw 26. Latch 13 is shown with its pivot point and retainer 14. The latch sits within cam 17 through a slot to rest on the cam face this has the added feature of retaining the cam position within the bearing hole 34 found in mounting plate 15.
Latch 13 carries a radiused scallop at it's extreme end to allow ball 10 to rest properly within 'U' hook 12, also see FIG 5. Latch 13 is further sloped at its top edge 33 to allow it to open far enough to release ball 10, but is so designed as to strike the inner top face of cover 37 so as to stop over-rotation of cam 17.
The cam is held under tension for rotation in either clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.
Tension is applied via spring 23 which is held in position by spring pins 22 on 'U' hook and 24 on the cam for counter-clockwise rotation and by tension spring 35 which is held in position by spring pins 24 on cam and 20 in base support plate for clockwise rotation.
Latch 13 is held under tension through spring 21
which is retained through spring pin 19 mounted on the
latch and spring pin 20 mounted on mounting base plate
15.
FIG 4. shows a plan view of the mechanism together
with a key lock 49 mounted within the opposite face of
door 1. The flat link bar 40 is shown linking key lock
49 to cam 17. This link bar 40 locates within slot 41
which is found within the centre of the rear face
of cam 17.
Lock 49 can be any suitable key barrel lock which can be rotated with a key. For additional security this barrel lock can form an additional independent lock which would require opening prior to any movement of link arm 40 which when rotated will rotate cam 17 through a sufficient angle to not only release the latching mechanism between latch 13 and ball retainer 3 but will also release ball 10 to allow for full access through the door, see also FIG 6.
FIG 1 & 4.Bearing hole 34 for cam 17 is shown dotted within mounting plate 15 together with bearing shoulder 42 on cam 17 which locates in hole 36 within cover 37.
FIG 1 & 3.Strike arm 50 located in cam 17 is so positioned that on rotating cam 17 in a clockwise direction strike arm 50 will strike closure -12 so that latch 13 is released from the ball retainer yet still retains ball 10 which is attached to weight 8 via chain 7 thus ensuring that the door can only be partially opened as weight 8 is unable to pass through ball retainer 3.
