HOWARD F. JONES, 0F WARREN'ION, NORTH CAROLINA.

Application filed March 28,-'

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HOWARD F. Jones, a citizen of the United States, residing at lVarrenton, in the county of 1Warren and State of North Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hasp- Locks, of which the following' is a specification.

This invention relates to hasp locks and more particularly to that class in which the hasp is locked upon the keeper.

The object of my invention is to provide a lock, which is exceedingly cheap and simple in its construction and one that will efficiently perform all of its intended functions.

A further object of my invention is to provide a lock of the character above described and to construct the same in such a manner that it may be permanently attached to the wall of a building or a door as the case may be, and will also indicate at a glance as to whether or not the hasp has been locked upon the keeper.

A still further object of my invention is to provide a combination hasp keeper and lock which is so constructed that itmay be readily used in combination with any ordinary form of hasp.

A further object of my invention is to provide a detachable keeper and lock device, which may be used conjointly with each other or may be used independentas may be desired.

lVith these objects in view and such others as may hereinafter appear, my invention consists in the particular construction of the various parts and in the combination and arrangement of said parts, all of which will be more fully described and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawing forming a part of this specification Figure 1 is a plan view illustrating the invention as applied, Fig. 2 is a similar view illust-rating the lock when unlocked and thrown out of engagement with the keeper, Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view and Fig. 4 is a detailed view illustrating the joint or connection between the keeper and lock portion.

Referring by numerals to the drawings: 1 represents a door and 2 the door jamb or wall of a building. Secured to the door by means of a staple 3 is a hasp 4, the free end of which is provided with longitudinal slots 5 and 6, the slot 5 being somewhat longer Specification of'Letters Patent.

than the slot 6 and connected to said slot 6 by a slot 7, the object being to allow the longer slot to pass freely over the keeper and allow the hasp to drop, so as to bring the other slot in contact with the shank of said keeper and prevent the same from slipping off. This form of hasp may be employed with almost any desired form of keeper wherein the shank of the keeper is smaller than its free end. lVhile I do not limit myself to this particular style of hasp, I have found it the most desirable.

The keeper is formed with a base plate 8 having apertures 9 therein to receive fasteners by means of which it may be secured to a door jamb. Struck or bent up at right angles to the base and at one end thereof is a keeper 10, the shank 11 of which is somewhat smaller than its body portion 12, said body port-ion 12 being provided with a slot 13 for the reception of a catch to be hereinafter referred to. The base is further provided at its end opposite the bent-up keeper 10 with a dovetailed slot 14 for the reception of a dovetailed member 15, which is provided in its center with an aperture 16 for the reception of the screw by means of which it is secured in position. This dovetailed member 15 has its edge bent up at right angles to its main portion as best indi-V cated at 15a in Fig. 3 and formed into a portion of a hinge 17, the other portion of the hinge being formed upon one end of a plate 18, which is provided with a slot 19 adapted to register with the shank and with angularly disposed edge flanges 20, which project over said shank and prevent any tampering with the catch upon the lock.

The lock proper is mounted upon the plate 1S in juxtaposition to the slot 19, said lock being of any desired construction, `having a spring actuated catch 22 adapted to engage the slot 13, said catch being disengaged by means of a key adapted to be inserted in the key-hole or in the face of the plate 18.

From the foregoing description in connection with the accompanying drawing, the operation of my improved hasp lock will be apparent. In the practical use of the device, the hasp is slipped over the keeper 10, after which the plate 18 is swung over upon the base plate 8, the flanges or edges 20 eX- tending around the shank and body portion 12 and the catch 22 entering the slot 13 and holding the hasp locked until disengaged by the proper key.

What I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is A hasp lock including a base plate having at one end a keeper and formed at its opposite end with a slot, and another plate provided With a projection hngedly connected thereto and adapted to fit into said slot, the second named plate being adapted to fold upon the first named plate, and a key-retracted lock bolt carried by the second 10 named plate and designed for engagement With said keeper, for the purpose speced.
