:Doon-LOCKING nnvicn.

Tofall whom t mag/concern.' i f Be it known that I, ELLIS IG. PHILLIPS, a citizen of the United States, Land a resident of Aurora; in the countyA of Kane andA State of Illinois,ihave invented certain'newand useful Improvements in Door-LockingDevices, ,of which lthe following'is a specification', reference being` had to the accompanyinO drawings.

.f his invention-relates Vto that type of locking mechanism for doors comprising j two bolts thatV are simultaneously projected :in opposite directions by the turning of a handle member with which said bolts are connected, such projection of the boltslcausing a locking of the door aty opposite. points thereon. The invention has for its objects to provide a sectional construction of bolt that will enable its being promptly and readily applied. to a door regardless of the height thereof; to provide a construction. of operating means for the locking bolts that can be applied without change to doors of varying thicknesses and can be locked when so applied to prevent the withdrawal of the bolts after theyl have been projectedinto door-securing position; and to improve generally devices of this general type. I attain these objects by the means shown in the drawings and hereinafter described; That which I believe to be new will be set forth in the claims.

In the drawings,-

and;

lFigs. 9 and 10 are sections taken at the f Referring Vto thej several figures of the drawings,-A andB indicate two ordinary hingeddoors that together are adapted to closegan opening in the wall of a building. Y

A portion of the doorway frame is shown7 the upright member ,being indicated by C land, the upper cross-'barvby D. To one of through an opening ina face plate 16 secured` to the door. Upon such projecting construction shown, two plates or disks 17 secured together but held at a distance from each other by means of two oppositely-located rivets -18#19. Tov thek rivet 19 is to-therivet 18 is pivotally attachedone end ofa similarv arm 21. When the Vshaft 15 is` rocked,as hereinafterdescribed, it will', of

Y. course, cause a turning of the plates or disks that are mounted thereon and thus cause the said arms. 20-21 to move from or toward each other accordingly asth'e locking bolts carried by them are tol be moved intojor withdrawn from door securing position. In Fig. 3 the are shown; as reylines 9,-9 and 10- 10-l respectively of Fig..2.

soy

'end of the shaft there are mounted, in the A tracted, whilein'. Fig. 4 theyfare shown as extended, and it will be noted that the pivots` 18 and V19 pass slightlyY beyond the axis o the boltwsoY as to insure the parts being rej tained in position. The inner ends of these arms 20-21 are so shaped that, .When the arms are in their retracted position shown in Fig. 3. practically the entire spacebetween the plates or disks will be occupied by such inner portions of the arms. v

. To each of the arms 20-21 is secured a locking bolt adapted to engage in sockets V.formed 'respectively in thel upperA frame Vthe rsocketplatein the Vupper Vpart of the fframework being kindicated by'a and that .i in the floor byo. The vlocking bolt member member of the doorway and in the floor. Such securing sockets are-shown in Fig'l,

that is secured to the arm Y20 is in the construction shown formed. of la number of sections. The section immediately connected 1 with the arm 20 is indicated by 22. Its in- Y 'curing theA parts 20 and-22 together. j indicates another bolt section similar to 22Y k ner end is reduced in diameter as clearly shown in Fig. 5, and such reduced end car- A ries a stud 23 securely aflixed thereto, whichY stud projects through an opening in the outer end of thearm 20, thus pivotally seand connected to the section 22 by a nut 25 screwed upon the adjacentends of such sections 22 and 24,1 and 26 indicates still another section secured in like manner to thel Y' adjacent end Vof the section 24 by a nut 27. "The, outermost section of the upper bolt is indicated generally by 2 8v and it comprises [a sheet-metal part and a' cylindrical plug riveted l,or otherwise firmly secured thereto.

The' vsheet metalvpartis formed of a flat strip having an outwardly-bowed semi-cylindricaly central channel 29 adapted to overlie the upperbolt section 26, the portions'of the :sheet'at the vsides of such channel 29 ex- :tending laterally therefrom in thesame plane and forming what may be 4termed wings and which are designated-as 29a. At

regular intervals openings 30 are formed at opposite sides of the semi-cylindrical raised portion 29 so that bypassing `a' pin 31 lthrough any pair oi such openings andV through an opening in the upperv member 26 oflthe sectional bolt the'plate member 28and the member 26 may be secured together in any adjusted position. The lower 55.v i best showninFig. 1a, toprovide. an extenf sion of the Vchannel 28, such extension being end of the plate kmember 28 is shaped, as

Y j indicated-by 32. The edges .of thiscurved ,extensionproject' a little beyond the face d'V "space slightly less than the diameter of the vrod section 26 of the bolt andhence a little of the lateral vwings 29,a and thusl leave a force ifsrequired to press such extension into placeupon the cylindrical lrod member,

detailed description.

{butwhen theV rod-member` has "been forced in between the sides of the extension 32 such extension acts as a clip to hold the two Y.

.partstogether at that point.` 1 On the upper the door A. near thev upper part of the'door and opposite the plate member 28. .It is secured in place by means of screws passing end portions 33 and 32, respectively, of the plate member 28 and while holding suchV plate member in place Ypermit it .to have the limited vertical movement required to draw the stud34'out of or'project it into "the socket in theupper: frame ofthe doorl way. kThese clips form stops against which the ends ofthe wings 29aabut and hence regulate the extent to which the plate memv-ber can be moved. As shown, the plate 36 has its central portion raised so that its wings'29a bear' lightly against such raised portion.

To the lower end of the'arm 21 is secured the upper arm, and onl suchY stud 23a is mounted a dependingboltsection 22a corresponding to the boltV section 22. As Vthe distance fromthe actuating shaft 15 tothe lower edge of the door is less than the distance from such shaft to the upper edge of the door I have, in the construction shown, omitted a bolt section such as 24. and have connected vthe bolt section 22a directly to Va bolt section 26'CL that corresponds to thebolt section 26, such connectionfofjthe two parts being by means of a nut 27a. lTo thislowerV Athrough the turned Vends of clips 37 and-38, Vrespectively, which clips extend .lover the a stud 23a corresponding to thestud23 on` Y bolt section is attached an adjustable'y plate section indicated by28a and which is'. in ,all respects Vconstructed and arran'oed'as is the plate section 28, and hence neec s no further The parts that correspond to the parts already: described are indicated'in like manner but with the addition of the lettera. f

Many door structuresV will be of suoli height that eveni'n lconnection with the upper part of the door securing mechanism the Y section 24 of thebolt may be omitted as is the case with the 'lowerpart, andthe several bolt sections may be ofvarious lengths as re-` quired f or differentvheights of doors. `Regardless of the number of sections of which the locking bolt may be `composed it is evident by reason 'of thewide, rangeofadjustability up and down of the'two lplate members .Q8-V28a that carry the projecting locking studs 9A-34a, respectively, the bolt as a whole can be properly applied and fitted to doors varying to aconsiderable extent in height,"and'when a door' havingu'nusual height is to be tted out with' suoli mechanism that can be readily done without any change whatever inY the niechanism` other than inserting an additional bolty sectionsections together. v

In addition to providing a constructionL ot locking bolt that will adapt it to be readily and properly applied to Vvdoors or varying heights it is very desirable also'that means be provided for adapting to doorsof different thicknesses the devices through which such bolts are projected into and retracted from their sockets, for it is of course tobe understood that such operating means must pass through a door so that operation of the bolts can be had by a person at either side of the door. In connection with such bolt operating means it is necessary also in many circumstances to providea lock upon the outer face of the door which will effectually prevent the 'bolts being retracted `from their sockets unauthorized persons. Referring vnow tothe bolt operating means-and the locking means mentioneCh-SQ indicates a recess cut in the outer tace of the door into which project-s a lock casing 40 whose tace plate 41 will have its marginal portion preferably flush with the outer surface of the door as shoi'vn, the lock casing as a whole being secured in place byl screws 42 as fshown.' Centrally through the front and u rear walls ot the casing is a large circular opening 43 and opposite the said central openings in the front and' back walls of the ca'sing'is rotatably mounted a disk 44pmvided with an extension=-45 Through Vthis rotatable disk 44 isA a 'large rectangular shaped opening 46, into which opening from the outer face of the lockproj ects a shank 47,

which, in the formof construction shown, Y

` (see Fig. 6), is formed of a single strip of metal'bent upon'itselt into-the form of a yoke and having pivoted to it by a=pin48 formed' ot a single piece'ot bent metal. The

tend for a considerable distance beyond the rear face of the lock case 40and lie snugly aga-inst theside walls of the large rectangular opening 46 in the disk 44. Fitted-'upon the projectingv ends ot the two armsotthe member 47 is a comparatively longhollow sleeve 50 having` a substantially rectangular appearance in cross-section. "The arms of the member 47 lie against thesides of this' angular sleeve 50 and may be securedlthereto byrivets or otherwise.v The ends ofthe arms ot the member 47 extend to substantially the farther end of' the sleeve and thereby lea-ve a central opening in such sleeve that is substantially square in cross-section and that' is of a size to snugly receive the end of the square rock-shaft 15 before' reterredto. By reason of such fitting kot the vshaft 15 in the sleevel it is evident that a turningot the f 47 will correspondingly rock such shaft, and the rocking of'such shaft will, of course, f

cause a projection or retract-ion of the sec-- tional locking bolts as will be understood VSuch movement can be had while the members of the locking mechanisml` contained in. the casing 40Y are in the position shown in Vfull lines in Fig. 8, and the full lines 'therein v'such latch will 'project over the lateralarm o'if the disk and prevent any rotary movenient of the disk and consequently -preventing any turning of the member 47 or the` shaft 15. The lock is provided with spring pressed tumblers, one or" which is shown and indicated by 58, which must be moved by a key' as 'usual before the latch vcan be moved ing movement over the liXed contacts.

54indicates a covering plate over the arms S30- 21 and the devices immediately connected therewith. Such covering plate' preferably foi-'med from 'a heavy, sheet of metal and provided with wide flanges so to have the face of the" plate stand out sufliciently to vform between it and the plate 1G Vagainst theu door a chamber in which the arms Q() and their immediate connectionsare housed. rlhe side flanges ot the plate incline'towaifd each other at the ends of the plate and at such ends the metal is bent into channel shape as at 55h/which channel shaped portions lie opposite channeled or grooved endk portions 56 in the plate'l, such opposed channel portions thus forming guides ini which the sections: ofv the-,holt that are connected withthe arms Yand 21 respectively, can lbe recipro'cated.V 5 7' indicates a ring rotatablyl mountedv in an opening formed 'in the Vcentral. portionof thev plate v54,.through` which ring is an angular opening of a size and shape to receive the shaft 15,such` ring kthus forming a rotatable bearing forthe shaftt Y When adoor-is to beequipped with my improved devices a Vrecess, 39 in the-"front vface thereof will first be made to receive the lock'casing and the opening made leading Athrough the door from the central portion of such recess, as shown in Fig. 5., 'The lock casing lwill then be attached inV place andthe two armed shank 47 then forced throughv the rectangular opening 4 6n the disk Y45V after-[which the -angular sleeve 50 will be pushed uponand secured tosuch.

This-.piece of wire Vlies immediately behind theplate ,1G- and thece'n- Y .tral portion of this plate is slightly .pressed out as shown and through an opening in which the shaft passes Upon the plate 16 being then secured in place the wire 58 attached to the shaft l5 as explained will prevent withdrawal ofthe shaft. The rotatable vdisksV 17 with the arms 20 and Vill-attached thereto are then placed in position upon the shaft and the bolt sections 22`-and 22rL pivotally connected to Vsuch arms, respectively,

' and thereafter the inclosing plate 54 with its bearing ring 57 is slipped over the shaft,ithe

bearingringitself being held in place by reason of its headedv inner end bearing against the outermost'dislrl'?. The kplategis then to be. secured by screws as-shownin Fig. '8, which screws also Vpass through the plate 16 and secure it to the door. Upon the squared end portion of the shaft thatl projects beyond the plate 54is-mounted a handle 60 which is held in place by a nut'l screwed l upon the threaded end ofthe shaft.-V With stated a cylindrical bolt section 'such as .24 may be coupled to thesection 22'or22a, lbut section 28 may be properly adjusted upon a bolt section-that is connected b-y a nut to the section thatis pivotally connected tol onev of the curved arms 20 or 21. Theseplate sections will, bythe means described, beadj usted to' approximately theeXact positionto V- have their locking studs'enter their respective sockets, andfor a finer adjustment, in

form guides for said bolts.
