Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June ill, libido Application filed December 1, 1915. $eria11t'o.tt-,5G2.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, HARRY C. LEONARD and ALEXAN ER F. Wrn'rnns, citizens of the United States of America, residing at Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and State of h lichigan have invented certain new and and useful lmprovements in Refrigerator Latches; and we do hereby declare the tollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to a latch especially adapted for use on refrigerators to hold the doors thereof in tightly closed position though it is to be understood that the latch may be used with any other kind of door. it is the object and purpose of the invention to provide a latch of this character which operates to hold a'door in tightly closed position yet which at the same time is very easily operated in opening the door and which is also easily and automatically operated upon the closing oi the door to engage therewith and hold it in closed position. Further objects and purposes consist in the provision of many novel details of construction and operation for the production of the latch with the functions enumerated together with others not specifically set forth as will appear upon understanding of the construction which embodies the invention, disclosed in the accompanying drawing, in which;
Figure l is a front elevation of a latch showing its application to a refrigerator, a fragmentary portion only of the casing and door of the refrigerator being shown.
Fig. 2 is a sectional and side elevation taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1 and looking in the direction indicated by the arrows.
Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken lengthwise of the latch member which is attached to the casing showing said member in the position that it occupies when the door is open; and 0 Fig. 4: is an end view of the base forming one element of the latch; and
. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a tragmentary portion of the device illustrating a modification in structure.
- Like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the several views of the drawing.
The door of a refrigerator is indicated at l and the casing therefor at 2.. Upon the door and'adjacent its edge which engages with the casing when the door is closed is situated a handle member 3 having an entension arm l at its upper end which proects across thehmeeting edges of the door and casing and a distance over the casing.
l his handle member is attached to the door by use of any permanent securing means such as screws or the hire and is used in the opening and closing of the door,
The latch member used in conjunction with the handle and attached to the casing includes a base 5 or sheet metal the edges of which are turned to FOEIH spaced apart l1 projecting from its upper end spaced.
a distance from which is an overhanging hook 12. in the slot 13 between the finger and hook the arm a of the handle is adapted to seat From its lower end an operat ing handle 14 projects terminating in a thumb piece 15. @n the inner side of the member 9 two projections l? and 18 are formed, these projections serving to limit the pivotal movement of the movable latch member through a stop 19 which is struclr from the base 5 and interposed between these projections.
Adjacent its upper end a lug 20 is struck from the base 5 substantially at right angles thereto having an elongated slot 21 formed therein through which projects one end of a bar 22 which at its opposite end is secured to a U-shaped member 23, the legs of which pass one at either side of the projection l? and are pivotally connected thereto by the pivot pin 24:. Adjacent the lug 20 a rocker 25 is located, the bar 22 passing therethrough and a stron coil compression spring 26 is interposed between this rocker and the U-shaped member 23.
In practice the latch member thus described is attached to the casing and its Oil ltd
Iti
mechanism is covered by any suitable housing which, as it forms no part of the present invention is not shown in this application. The housing may be slotted to permit the entrance of the arm 4. When the door is open the parts of the latch member occupy the position shown in 2. Ilpon closing the door the arm t engages against the in-- clined side of the finger l1 and turns the latch member 9 about its pivot. This turning movement is resisted by the spring 26 until such time as the line of force thereof comes below the center of the pivot pin 10 after which the spring tends to rotate the latch member into the position shown in Fig. 2 with the hook 12 grasping the arm. 4; in this manner serving to close the door and hold it tightly closed. When the door is to be opened handle 3 is grasped by the fingers of the hand and the latch member operated by the pressure of the thumb against the thumb piece 15. The coil spring again resists the turning movement of .the latch member 9 until such time as its line of force shall have passed above the center of the pivot pin 10 upon which the latch member is rotated until projection 18 engages against the stop 19. The efiect of the latter part of the movement of the latch member is to throw the door open as will be readily understood.
A latch of the construction defined is of simple and easy manufacture and contains no parts that are liable to get out of order. This is an important consideration in latches as the breakage of a part and especially of an operating spring renders the latch entirely useless. Furthermore, by reason of the comparatively long engagement of the arm 4 with the inclined side of the finger 11 the force which is back of and impellin g the arm 4-, as it acts through a comparatively long space, does not need to be large to overcome the force of the coil spring 26 which operates through a comparatively short dis-- tance. Also by reason of the fact that after the latch member has occupied the position shown in Fig. 2 the moment arm of the spring is comparatively long, the resistance to the opening of the latch is greatest when the door is closed and consequently the greatest force is exerted to keep the door closed and prevent the entrance of warm air into the refrigerator.
In Fig. 5 a modification in detail of the connection between the bar 22 and the pivoted latch member 9 is illustrated. This is a preferred construction in that the device is much more quickly and easily assembled and all of the parts may be made from simple stampings. In Fig. 5 a bar 22 similar in nearly all respects to the bar 22 heretofore described has the end adjacent the latch member formed into a fork 27, the
sides of which pass to either side of the thereof in which the fork seats. This con struction does away with the thshaped member 23 and the pi ot 24: and the extra erpiense of manufacturing and assembling t 1cm.
