'UNITED STATES PATENT HARRY E. SOREF, O'F MILVIAUKEE, WISCONSIN.

COMBINED TADLOOK AND DOORBOLT.

Application filed February 17, 1923. Serial No. 619,623.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY E. Sonnr, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have in vented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Padlocks and Doorbolts;

and staple type.

In my invention the post or shackle of the padlock is extended horizontally so as to constitute a locking bolt. The bolt is secured in position upon the hasp so that the free end thereof may be entered, into and withdrawn from the staple. When withdrawn, the padlock remains in fixed relation as a part of the hasp, and cannot be removed therefrom when the door is opened. It results, therefore, that the lock is always in position for use when its service is needed.

The construction is best embodiedin that type of padlock in which the post or shackle is projected outwardly of the look by means of a spring when the tumblersof the lock are operated so as to release the'said post or shackle. In actual practice, the lock casing is retracted along the post or shackle, which latter does not change. its relative position with respect to the hasp to which the lock is secured. f J

Other details residing in the invention will be specifically described, and the novelty of thewhole will be pointed out in the appended claims. r

'Referring to the drawing:

Figure 1 is a view in elevation of the lock in its operative position with the bolt thereof engaging the staple.

Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the lock as withdrawnor retracted upon the post or shackle, the lock casing being partially rotated upon its vertical axis'so as to permit the withdrawal of the bolt from the staple Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view through the hasp and the bolt, on the line 3-3, Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows, the lock casing being shown in full lines.

Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional View on the line 4-4, Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows, showing the lock casing in full line position and also as having been partially rotated to the dotted line position to permit the withdrawal of the bolt.

Fig. 5 is a modification of the constructlon, in which the necessity for partial rotation of the lock casing to permit the withdrawal of the bolt from the staple is obviated.

Fig. 6 is a vertical sectional view on the line 66, Fig. 5, looking in the direction of the arrows,the lock casing being shown in full lines. I

Fig. 7 is a horizontal sectional view on the line 77,- Fig. 5, looking in the direction of th arrows. and showing-the, squared construction of the'post o-r shackle of the lock, whereby rotation of the lock casing may not be effected. 1

In the drawing, the numeral 10 indicates a hasp hinged as at 11 to a.plate 12, which latter will be secured to the free edge of a swinging door, the fastening screws passing through the plate 12, being concealed by the hasp. 10. The numeral 13 indicates a plate which may be attached to the face of the.

door casing, by screws which are concealed by-the hasp when the locking operation has been efiected.

The casing 14 may embody a lock mechanism-of'any appropriate construction, which is operated by a key 15 in the usual manner. The post or shackle 16 is secured in the lock casing as usual. The lock casing 14: is adapted to have a limited movement along the post or shackle under the influence of a spring when the tumblers of the lock are operated by a-key.

The upper end of the post or shackle is formed as a bolt 17, which in the constructions'illustrated, extends at a right angle to the axis of the post or shackle. The said bolt is guided-by-a housing 18,- secured upon the hasp 10. An annular shoulder 19 is formed upon a bolt near the point of its I juncture with the post or shackle .and by engagement with the rear end of the housing 18, serves as a stop to limit the outward movement of the bolt. A stop 20, which may be conveniently formed by punching Lil CTI

'nected.

out a portion of the plate forming the hasp, arrests the rearward movement of the bolt, by engaging the post or shackle near the point of its juncture with the bolt. A staple 21 secured upon the plate 13 passes through an elongated opening 22 formed in the hasp, when the free end of the hasp is swung into engagement with the said plate 13. IVith the parts in such position, the bolt may be moved forwardly through the housing 18, so that the free end thereof will engage with the staple so as to prevent separation of the hasp from its enga gei'nent with the plate 13 or the relative movement of the parts to which these elements are con- The stop is formed upon the hasp 14 at a distance su'liicient to arrest the rearward movement of the bolt when the free end thereof has been withdrawn from the staple, so that the hasp is free from restraint as the door is opened.

The housing 18 for the bolt is cutaway on a. transverse line so as to provide a clearance 23 for a. purpose tobe described. The

' bolt 17 is provided with a here; or depression 24c, whichis adapted to be entered by the free end of a pin or stud 25, set in fixed position in the lock casing, and extending parallel to the post/or shackle 16. When the bolt 17 is moved outwardly to engage the staple, and the annular rib 19 is brought into engagement with the rear end of the housing 18, the bore 2 1 in the bolt will be exposed through the clearance 23 in the casing. By aligning the longitudinal vertical central plane of the lock casing in parallelism with the axis of the bolt, the pin or stud 25 maybe made to pass through the clearance 23 and engage the bore 24 in the bolt, by movement of the lock c'asing on the post or shackle by pressure against the force of the spring which is employed to give relative movement to the lock casing 14 of the post or shackle 16. V

The tumblers of the lock then act to hold the casing and the post or shackle in set pos'ition.

Upon withdrawing the tumblers through the medium of the key 15, the pin or stud 25 is withdrawn from its engagement with the bore 2 1 in the bolt and the lock casing may be partially rotated upon the post or shackle 16 so as to swing the said pin or stud out of the clearance 23 in the housing 18. Thereafter thebolt may be moved backwardly so as to withdraw the free end thereof from engagement with the staple. As before stated, thest'op 20 arrests a backward movement of the bolt when the end thereof has cleared thestaple 21. Thus the lock cannot be detached from the door while" in its inoperativeposition.

When it is desired to lock'the'doo'r, it is necessary only to pass the has}? overthe stapie, and slide the bolt into 'locki'ngposition.

The lock casing is then given a partial rotation in return so as to enter the pin or stud 25 in the clearance 23. \Vhereupon the said pin or stud will engage the bolt as before described, and the locking operation is completed.

Fig. 5 shows a modification of the inven tion in which the construction is somewhat simplified. The hasp 10, the pivoted plate 12, the plate 13, and the housing 18 are as before described. In this construction the transverse bore 24: in the bolt is omitted. The post or shackle 161 is squared, and slides in a correspondin ly shaped opening in the lock casing 141. The pin or stud 251 is set in the lock casing as in the previous construction. Howeven'the free end of the said pin or stud is adapted merely to engage the walls of the clearance 23 formed transversely of the casing 18, when theparts are in the operating position illustrated in Fig. 5. The retractive movement of the casing 141 along the post or shackle will withdraw the pin 251 from the engagement described, the end of the pin then clearing the housing, sufficiently to permit the bolt to be moved from its position of engagement with the stable 21. The extent of movement of the lock casing to withdraw the pin 251, and permit longitudinal movement of the bolt is indicated by the dotted lPine' position of the look at the lower part of 11 either construction, with the'pin or stud 25 entered in the transverse bore in the locking bolt, or the squared shank of the post or shackle fitting its correspondingly shaped guide-way, the lock casing cannot be rotated about the post or shackle to free the bolt when locked. In practice, the clearance 23 will have such circumferential extent about the bolt housing 18, that my improved locking device is readily applicable to doors opening either right or left.

Although I have shown my invention in some simple constructional forms, it is to be understood that the construction may be varied in some of the details Without departing from the spirit of my invention or the scope of my claims. The gist of the invention resides in the construction of apadlock having a bolt formed integrally with the post or shackle of the lock, and movable into and out of operating position.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secu'reby Letters Patent of the United States, is:
