Definitions
- This invention relates to adoor latch and more particularly to a latch for an automotive vehicle door.
- the spring projected bolt carries a rollback abutment which abuts against the rollback when the bolt is fully projected to hold the outside door handle in a predetermined position that is usually horizontal.
- This type of construction has proved defective in that the latch bolt often is' not fully projected owing to irregularities in the vehicle body which may be present initially or result from use.
- This incomplete projection of the bolt permits the door handle to sag from its predetermined position because in such case the rollback is not held tightly against thelock frame flange by the rollback abutment.
- Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the latch showing the bolt fully projected.
- Fig. 2 is a section along the line 23-2 of Fig. 1.
- Fig. 3 is a plan view of the latch shown in Fig. 1.
- Figs. 4 and 5 are a front elevation and a plan view respectively of the latch showing the bolt partially projected.
- Fig. 6 is a front elevation of the latch showin g the position of the various elements when the outside door handle is actuated to retract the bolt.
- Figs. 7 and 8 are details of the latch bolt guide construction.
- Figs 9 and 10 show a modification of the latch wherein the spring is mounted on the end of the lever.
- the latch consists of the latch frame 1 with the selvage plate 2.
- the latch frame has-the struck out guide lugs 3 and the selvage plate has the opening 4 which cooperates with the guide clip 32 to guide the latch bolt 5.
- the latch bolt 5 carries the rollback abut- 1930. Serial No. 449,857.
- the latch frame 1 has rotatably mounted thereupon the rollback 7 which has fixed therein the shank 8.
- the shank in turn carries the outside door handle 9.
- the latch bolt 5 has mounted thereon the bolt spring 10 as at 11.
- the latchframe '1 has pivotally mounted thereupon as at 12 the lever 13.
- the lever 13 pivots on the latch frame between the frame and the bolt spring and rollback abutment.
- the lever has the outwardly turned flange 14 which engages the rollback 7.
- the other end of the lever 13 is outwardly turned as at 15.
- the outwardly turned portion 15 of the lever 13 serves as a seat for the free end 16 of the bolt spring 10.
- the striker plate which is carried by the vehicle body pillar may be referenced 17.
- the latch bolt is fully projected behind the striker 17.
- the bolt spring 10 which is mounted on the latch bolt 5 and arranged to reciprocate'therewith, exerts a clockwise torque or the lever 13 at the spring seat 15 which in turn causes the flange 14 of the upper part of the lever 13 to hold the rollback 7 aga nst the selvage plate 2 as at 20.
- the bolt spring at the same time forces the latch bolt outwardly toward the right and the rollback abutment 6 engages the fiange 14 of the lever as at 21 to alsohold the rollback 7 against the selvage plate 2.
- the latch bolt 5 is shown only partially projected.
- This construction is nicely illustrated in Fig. 6 and does away with the need for the usual punched-in bolt stop and the commonly used spring clip guide for the bolt.
- the latch frame 1 is provided with openings 31.
- the openings 31 are arranged to receive the substantially U-shaped clip 32 which is passed over the latch bolt 5 and then through the openings 31 where the ends 33 are bent over as shown.
- the latch bolt 5 is provided with the recesses 34 having the shoulders 35. Hence, when the latch is retracted as by the ordinary remote control or by the outside door handle the shoulder 35 abuts against the clip 32 to limit the retraction of the bolt.
- the clip 32 is provided with the upstanding lugs or wings 36 which serve as guides for the dog 37.
- the dog 37 is arranged to be slid downwardly to abut the rear of the lever 13 as at 38 to positively dog the rollback 7.
- the latch frame 40 has slidably mountedthereupon the bolt 41.
- the bolt 41 is guided by means of an opening 42 in the latch frame flange 43 and by means of the headed stud 44 which projects through an opening 45 in the bolt 41 and is riveted to the latch frame 40 as at 46.
- the bolt is arranged to be retracted by the rollback 47.
- the latch frame 40 has pivotally mounted thereon as at 48 the lever 49 one end of which carriesthe bolt spring 50 and the other end of which is arranged to abut the rollback as at 51. In this case the free end 52 of the spring 50 abuts the bolt as at 53.
- the torque exerted by the bolt spring 50 not only projects the bolt 41 but also exerts a clockwise torque upon the lever 49 which engages the rollback at 51 to hold it against the flange 43 and consequently maintains the out side door handle in the proper horizontalposition even though the bolt 41 may not be fully projected.
