THOMAS GERSHOM PROPERT AND WILLIAM REDWOOD BROWN, OF CHIPPENDALE, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA, ASSIGNORS OF ONE-THIRD TO ALBERT THOMAS WOOLFORD, OF CHIPPENDALE, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA.
SNAP-LOCK FOR DOORS, GATES, AND THE LIKE.
Application filed October 17,1918.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, THOMAS GERSHOM Pnornn'r and VILLIAM Rnnwoon BROWN, subjects of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at 1216 Queen street, Chippendale, in the State of New South Wales, Commonwealth of Australia, have invented new and useful Improvements in 811111.),LOC1ZS for Doors, Gates, and the like, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates specially to snap locks for motor car doors but it is also applicable to other doors, gates, and the like.
The improved snap lock comprises three main parts, viz :a guide plate to be inserted into the frame of the door, bolt working within theguide plate and a combined plate spring and handle to which the bolt is loosely attached.
In the accompanying drawings Figure l is a vertical section of a portion of a car door and body showing the lock in position; the frame of the lock and the strike plate are in section, but the looking bolt, the spring and the handle are in elevation.
Fig. 2 is a front view of the door slam.
Fig. 3 shows a plan of the locking bolt.
Fig. l a section of the locking bolt at J K, Fig. 1.
A is the door frame, 13 the body frame; the guide plate 0 is countersunk into the frame of the door, the strike plate D for the locking end of the locking bolt is countersunk into the frame of the body.
Within the guide plate C is the locking bolt E, the front end of which is V shaped and inclined, as at 0, so that the bolt shall give way when it engages with a corresponding incline on the strike plate. Near the rear end of the locking bolt, it is cut away, as at 7, to enable the spring F to pass through. The spring F consists of a plate twisted at right angles, and bent at the top to form a handle G, or it may be provided at the top with a separate handle; it is fastened by screws H to the door frame. The
Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 258,647.
upper end of the spring protrudes through a slot gin the plate I secured to the door frame. A notch I: is cut in the spring to enable it to be placed in position in the looking bolt.
The door being closed and locked by the locking bolt F, as shown in Fig. l, in order that it may be opened, it will be necessary to pull the handle G back to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. l. V
This movement will move thespring l to the position shown by the dotted lines, and with it will come the locking bolt E through which the spring l passes loosely thus enabling the end of the bolt to accommodate itself to the curvilinear movement of the spring.
All the parts comprised in this invention are reversible, and although the point of the locking bolt is shown V shaped, we may use any other suitably shaped point, with suitable slam plate to correspond.
i. In snap locks for mot-or car doors, gates and the like, a guide plate, a bolt slidable within the guide plate, and a plate spring for actuating the bolt, one end of the bolt being cut away at one sine to receive and loosely retain the plate spring thereon.
2. In snap locks for motor car doors, gates and the like, a guide plate, a bolt slidable within the guide plate and provided with a recess in one side thereof, the side walls of said recess being extended toward each other to partially span the recess and a plate spring loosely fitted in said recess so that said extensions confine the spring therein against lateral displacement.
In testimony whereot we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
