` Loox.
Application and maren 1e, 1922. serial No. 544,918.
This invention relates to improvements in locks, and more particularly to locks of that character described and illustrated in United States Patent No. 1,384,022, issued to me on Jul 5,1921.,
The principal objects ofthe presentinvention are: First, to provide a more simplified, less expensive and more desirable construction, than in the previous lock, yet retaining all its advantages and desirable features; second, to provide a lock construc tion that may be more easily and more readily disassembled, if such should be desired for the re-setting of combinations; third, to provide a locking gate of a more simplified construction than before used.
In accomplishing these andi. other objects of the invention, I have. provided the mproved details of construction, the preferred forms of which are illustrated in the accompanying` drawings, whereinv Figure 1 is a vertical, longitudinal section taken centrally through the lock, with a key in position for operating the primary locking mechanism. l
Figure 2 is a transverse, sectional view through the lock, taken onl the line 2 2 in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is an inner end view of the lock.
Figure 4 is a horizontal, sectional view `taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 2, with the core removed illustrating the manner of and means for securing the lock housing 'against unauthorized removal.
Figure 5 is a horizontal section on the line 5 5 in Figure 2, particularly illustrating the manner of'locking the core to the face plate.
the-locking gate and a portion of the key plug sleeve.
Referring more in detail to the several4 views of the drawings, wherein like refer- 5 ner end as shown at 2, and provided about Figure 6' is a detail, perspectiveviewvofk its outer end with a collar?. that is fixed thereto in any suitable manner and which 1s adapted, when the housing ist inserted 'within a dgor or the like deslgnated at 4,
to seat against the outer face thereof or against an escutcheon plate 5 which .would v be secured to the door. IVhen the housing is inserted, its inner ende-is threaded within an opening in the wall plate 6 of a latch casing withinthe door, as is shown in Figure 1, and, in order that it may be secured against unauthorized removal, I have provided a bore 7, leading from Aa. point' Vjust within the opening through the housing which is provided for the insertionv o'f the 70 core as will be'presently disclosed, at an in-V cline tothe outer-side lof the housing and provided with a threaded outerendportion wherein a locking .screw 8 is threaded, with its outer endproj'ecting from the housing and seatedwithina notch` 9 in the plate 6,
`as is shown in Figures 4 and 5, to prevent any possible unthreading, or turning of the. housin It will beapparentthat after the J core o the lock is inserted, access to the screw 8 is impossible, and therefore, un'- screwing of the housing can not be faccom plished. f s
A lock core .10, which contains both a primary and secondary locking mechanism and which has a cross sectional shape,`somev1 what similar to that of a figure 8, is slidably fitted within a correspondingly shaped opening 4longitudinally7 throu h the housing 1. The primary locklngl mec anism in this instance, as in the former patent, performs the usualfunctions of a lock, while the secondary locking mechanism controls the movement of the .gate whereby the core is retained within the housing.
Secured to the forward end of the core .10, is a circular face plate 11, provided on .its inner surface with two parallel ribs 12 14 provided, at its forward end, with an annular shoulder 15 whereby its inward movement is limited and, at its inner end, has secured thereto a throw bar 16. The lower end ot this bar is secured, by means of rivets as indicated at 17, to the end of the plug and its edges extend somewhat beyond the peripheral edges of the plugv to serve as a means for preventing removal of the plug from the core. The throw portion of the vbar is restricted to such length that, when movement with respect thereto within a` pocket 19 longitudinally of the key plug opening, isa gate bar 20 provided adjacent its -inner end. with a laterally extending shoulder 21 (see Figure 6) that is adapted, when the gate is in locking position, to fit within a recess 22 formed at the inner end of the core opening within the housing 1.
The lock is provided withvpin tumbler locking mechanism; the pins, designated at 24,
' being contained within tumbler barrels 25 of which there areI six in this instance, and
. which are drilled downwardly from the upas shown in Figure 2. This provides that the per surface of the core through the gate bar and into the key plug, the barrels being formed whenthe gate is in locking position,
i pins within the barrels will retain the gate in locked position, except at suchV times when a key is inserted for the actuation of the secondary locking mechanism, as will presently be described.
I also provide ejector holes 25 through the lower portion of the core and key plug, in alinement with the barrels 25 through which an instrument may be projected to facilitate the ejectionof the pins from the barrels when desired that they be removed.
Each of the locking pins has two or more breaks which, in the different pins, would be at different positions, and at their lower ends, the pins rest upon balls 26. A keyhole 27 throughthe plug cuts through the lower ends of the barrels so that, when a key as' designated at 28, is inserted it will actuate the pins through contact vwith the balls. Coiled springs 29 are located in the upper ends of the barrels to bear downwardly against thepins'so that they will always be retained `in functional position.
It will be mentioned here that, in this construction, the throw bar 16 is provided with an opening 27 for receiving the end of the key and the keys are shouldered as at 28 to engage the bar which thereby serves as a stop to limit the inward movement of the key and to properly position it for the actuation of the locking tumblers.
In the present lock, the shearing line of' the primary locking mechanism is the upper surface of the key plug, and the shearing line of the secondary locking mechanism is the upper edge of the gate. Then a suitable key is inserted so as'to aline a break in all of the pins with the upper surface of the key plug, the latter may then be rotated to actuate the doorlocking mechanism through the movement of the throw bar 16. Likewise, when a suitable key is inserted whereby a break in each pin is alined with the upper surface of the gate, the latter, since it will then be turned with the plug, will be moved to unseat the gate shoulder from within the .wardly on the key.
Upon withdrawing thecorc, the sections of the several barrels may be re-alined after moving the gate to locking position, and then the pins may be removed if this is desired for the purpose of changing the combination of the device, or for the purpose of disassembling the parts of the lock.
There is a sleeve 30 litted about, and extending the length of the plug 16 (see Figure 2) which has a longitudinal opening along its upper side. The edges of this opening are seated within shoulders formed along opposite side edges of the gate bar. This sleeve serves as a means for preventing the smaller tumblers from possible displacement from those portions of the barrels within theplug and becoming lodged within the gate opening at the side of the gate; it isl apparent that this might be possible, without such a sleeve, if the plug was rotated approximately 15 degrees to the left as the breaks ofthe pins may be varied with respect to their distance from the lower ends of the pins, a great number of different combinations for the primary locking mechanism may be obtained without changingV the combination for. the secondary locking mechanism. Likewise, by varying the upper tumblers of each pin, so as to change the distance of the upper breaks from the upper ends of the pins, a great many dir'erent combinations may be obtained for the secondary locking mechanism.
It is readily appa-redt that the present lock retains all the advantages allorded by the previous lock mentioned, in a simplified, more easilyl made and assembled construction, and ata smaller cost. l
It is furtherapparent that the lock screw positively will prevent removal of the lock what I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is:
