HASP-FASTENER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application led October 16, 1911. Serial No. 654,850.`

To all 'whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE UNTGH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in I-Iasp Fasteners, of which the following is a specication.

This invent-ion relates to hasp fasteners and has for its object to provide improved means for fastening or locking a hasp against unauthorized opening.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of the device. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a rear elevation, in reverse of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a front elevation of a modification, including a lock. Fig. 6 is a detail in front elevation of the lock. Fig. 7 is a rear elevation of the lock. Fig. 8 is a section on the line 8 8 of Fig. 5.l

Referring specifically to the drawings, 6

isa staple platefastened to the door Jamb, provided with a staple or the like 14 which has a hole 20 to receive a padlock or the like if desired.

7 is the hasp plate, hinged at 9 to the plate 8 fastened to the door, and this hasp has a hole 14a to receive the staple 14. The hasp is ofset outwardly to provide space behind the same for the latch plate l() which is pivoted to the hasp by a pin 11, so as to swing vertically. The extent of its swing is limited by a pin 22 projecting on the back of the hasp, working in a slot 13, or by arib 23, formed on the back of the hasp, projecting into a notch 24. Theouter end of the latch plate 10 is curved as at 16 to hook over the end of the hasp, and it is recessed to form a tongue 15, with a hole 17, the tongue being adapted to drop into an opening 21 in the staple, so that the latch pin 18 will engage in said hole and so prevent lift of the plate. The pin 18 is carried by a fiat spring 18tl which is fastened to the underside of the staple plate 6 and works in a recess behind the same. A push pin 18b is attached to the spring, and when pushed in it will withdraw the pin 18 from the hole 17 permitting the latch plate to be lifted and allowing the hasp to be swung off the staple.

For use with a lock, the structure is modified as shown in Figs. 5 to 8, wherein a lock 28 is embedded in the jamb, and has a bolt 27 which may be shot to engage under the pin 18, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8, and when so engaged it is impossible to press in the push pin 18h, the parts being locked against .movement, but by withdrawing the bolt, as

with a key inserted in the key hole 29, the pin 18b may be pushed in to withdraw the latch pin 18 fromthe latch plate. To conceal the key hole I provide a swinging guard 25 which is pivoted at 26a on the front of the lock, and when swung down it covers the key-hole. 26 is a stop pin for the guard, which pin strikes into a notch 26" when the guard is swung down.

I claim:

1. The combination with a hasp and staple, of a latch plate pivoted to the back of the hasp and having a tongue engageable in an opening in the staple, a spring latch pin located behind the staple and engageable with said tongue, and means to disengage the latch pin.

2. The combination with a hasp and a staple and a plate frornwhich the staple projects, of a latch plate pivoted to the back of the hasp and having a tongue engageable in an opening in the staple, in front of the plate, a latch pin working through said plate behind the staple to engage said tongue, a spring located behind the plate and connected to the pin and tending to advance the same, and a push pin connected to the spring to disengage the latch pin.

3. The combination of a hasp and staple, a latch plate pivoted to the back ofthe staple vand having a tongue engageable in the staple, a latch pin movable in and out behind the staple to engage or disengage the tongue, and means to lock the latch pin against movement.

4. The combination of a hasp, a plate having a staple projecting therefrom to engage said plate and which may be advanced to the hasp, a latch plate pvoted to the hack engage behind the latch pin. 10 of the hasp and having a tongue engageable In testimony whereof, I do affix my signawth the staple, a latch pin Working through ture in presence of two Witnesses.

the plate and engageable With the tongue, GEORGE UNTCH. means to dsengage the latch pin, and means Witnesses:

to lock the latch pin against movement com- JOHN A. BOMMHARDT,
