HARRY A. PALMER, OF MER-IDEN, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO FOSTER, MERRIAM AND COMPANY, OF MERIDEN, CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION OF CONNECTICUT.
CABINET- CATCH.
To all "whom it may concern Be it known that I, HARRY A. PALMER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Meriden, county of New Haven, State of Connecticut, have invented an Improvement in CabinetCatches, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has for its object to provide a cabinet catch which shall be simple, strong and durable and able to stand hard usage, and in which the number of parts and the cost of construction shall be reduced to the minimum, thereby effecting an important saving to manufacturers using this class of catches.
\Vith these and other objects in view I have devised the novel cabinet catch which I will now describe referring to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and using reference characters to indicate the several parts.
Figure 1 is a perspective of my novel cabinet catch and a keeper detached; Fig. 2 a rear elevation of the catch detached, without the keeper, the latch being in the looking position; Fig. 3 a similar view showing the latch lifter, and Fig. 4 is a section on the line 44 in Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows.
1O denotes the case which is blanked out and formed from a single piece of metal and is provided with ears 11 having holes for attaching screws.
12 denotes the latch, the inner end of which is rigidly secured to a knob shank 13 which is mounted to oscillate in the case. At the inner end of the shank is a transversely elongated stud 14 which passes through a correspondingly shaped hole in the inner end of the latch and is headed down as at 15. The shank is provided with a collar 16 engaging the outer face of the case and carries a suitable knob or hand piece 17. The latch projects through a slot 18 in the case and is adapted to engage a suitable bevel-nosed keeper 19 carried by a plate 20 which is provided with holes for attaching screws. In use, case 10 is secured to a cabinet door contiguous to the free edge Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed June 23, 1913.
Patented Jan. 27, 1914.
Serial No. 775,439.
thereof and the keeper is secured to the door casing contiguous to the opening and in position to be engaged by the latch, the operative position of the parts being clearly shown in Fig. 1. The latch is simply a rectangular strip of metal and it is held against rotation on the shank by the elongated stud. The latch is normally held at its lowered or locking position by means of a U-shaped spring 21 which is secured to the inner wall of the case and the arms of which bear upon the edges of the latch as clearly shown in Figs. 2. and 3. It will be noted that both arms of the spring bear upon the latch and are operative; that is to say, both arms of the spring must be sprung out of their normal position in order to lift the latch and both arms act upon the latch to return it to its normal position the instant the knob is released. I am thus enabled to produce a catch of this character having the least possible number of parts and which shall be quick and certain in operation when the door is slammed to closed position without lifting the latch.
Having thus described my invention I claim:
1. A catch of the character described com prising a case, a U-shaped spring the base of which is attached to the case, an oscillating knob shank and a latch rigidly secured thereto, one end of said latch lying between the arms of the spring and the other end projecting through the wall of the case.
2. A catch of the character described comprising a case, an oscillating knob shank, a latch rigidly secured to said shank and having an angular inner end, and a spring secured to the case and having arms bearing upon the inner edges of the latch, both arms being sprung out of normal position when the latch is lifted, and acting to return it to its normal position.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
HARRY A. PALMER.
