- Such release is effected by registration of peripheral recesses in the several disks with each other in the position shown in Fig. 10, so as to allow entry ofthe lug 9 into the said recesses of the disks and consequent release movement of the locking dog as shown in Fig. 1l.
- Dialing means is provided as shown in Figs. 1 and 3 by a rotary dial plate I3 mounted on the front of thelock housing, operable by the knob I5, and a fixed pointer I4 shown in Fig. 1 as a notch in the front face of the lock housing.

- the disk I0 which is attached to and directly operated by the dial knob, is separately shown in Fig. 13. Its recess to receive the dog lug 9 is indicated at I. This disk, which is very slightly or almost imperceptibly largerthan the others, also has a series of false recesses I 0b to coactwith the dog lug soas to foil any attempt on the part of unauthorized'persons to learn the lock combination.
- the projection on the disk I2 for picking up the next disk is indicated in dotted lines at I 0c.
- Fig. 14 shows the next disk II, having a recess I Ia to receive the dog lug 9 and a peripheral notch I Ib for a function presently to be described.
- This is a thin flat disk having an annular series of holes, and is associated with the adjustable abutment ring II shown in Fig. 12.
- This abutment ring II has an arm providing an abutment IId and a bent terminal finger IIe to enter and project through one of the holes in the disk I I.
- Said disk II and the abutment Ilc with which it is equipped may be considered as a unit, the abutment ring providing at one side the abutment I Id in the path of the projection IIJc of the first disk f and at the other side the projection IIe to pick up the third disk I2, which is similar to II and equipped with a similar abutment ring I2c as shown in Fig. 3.
- the described construction of the permutation disks is exemplary of one appropriate construction of disks adapted for manufacture as sheet metal stampings and suitable for compact as semblage in a small lock construction and of such character as to permit different .working combinations for different locks of the same construc' tion, the combination depending -upon the angular relation of the abutment rings ⁇ l Ic and I2c and u ,nations may be further multiplied by the use in different locks of rst disks I0 having their lugs IIJc at different angular relations to the recess I0.
- the third disk having first been ⁇ set by rotating the dial as required to cause the first disk to pick up the second and the second to pick up the third and bring it to said position shown in Fig. 10, corresponding to registration of' a specific dial division with the pointer;
- the sec- -ond disk having next been set by a reverse rotation of the dial to cause the iirst disk to again pick up the second and bring it to the vsame position, corresponding Ato registrationjof another dial division with the pointer;
- the rst disk having last been set by a rotation of the dial in the first direction to bring it to the same position corresponding to registration of a third dial division with the pointer.
- the sliding shackle may be pulled out to withdraw its short arm from the lock housing, the locking dog being forced to the released position shown in Fig. 1K1 first by the up-pull o f the shackle against the nose of the dog and then by the action of the double acting spring 6. Since the spring holds the locking dog in the position shown in Fig.
- the shackle can be released and pulled out upon performing the 1required dialing operation to work the ⁇ lock combination, thereby adjusting the disk tumblers in position to release the locking dog.
- pulling out the shackle it displaces the dog which under the action of its spring snaps free of the shackle.
- the spring-held dog is maintained in xed relation with the dial knob and disk tumblers, preventing such a misadjustment as to necessitate redialing for relooking.

Referring to the drawings, the specific con'- struction embodied in the illustrative lock is described as follows:
The lock ckle i is represented as a sliding dog can be displaced'rin the shackle notch by 4 pulling out the shackle to the released position shown in Fig. 1i. As the shackle is returned to the locked vposition it encounters and actuates a lever arm Ei extending from the locking dog. thereby rocking the dos into engagement with the shackle notch. A double act spring t resists initial movement of thelocg dos in either direction but actuates the dos tc snap into the4 position toward which it is started. This spring as shown in s. 2, d and 16 may comprise a the normal locked relation of the stressed resilient device acting between the locking dog and an abutment provided by'the lug 1, said spring device having its ends pivotally seated in V-shaped notches in the dog and abutment,v
and the arrangement being such that the reaction of the spring is exerted against the dog at one side of its pivot 4 when the dog is in shackleretaining position and at the other side of said pivot when the dog is thrown out of the` shackle notch; or in other words the spring must be forced under stress past a dead center position relative* to the dog pivot I in moving the locking dog from one position to the other. The movement of the dog in the shackle-engaging direction is limited by abutment of the lever arm 5 against the lug l, and the movement of the dog in the opposite direction is limited by the stud 8. From the foregoing it will` be seen that the double acting spring 6 causes a snap action of the locking dog in moving to or from shackleengaging position, and yieldingly holds the dog in the position to which it is thrown; so that the releasing of the shackle requires pulling it outward against an initial spring resistance, while the replacement of the shacklerequires pushing it inward against a like resistance, with an ax:- companying desirable snap-latching action as soon as the resistance is overcome.
By arranging the locking dog behind the disk tumblers and providing the dog with a lateral lug 9 overlying the peripheries of the disk tumblers, which coact with said lug to lock the dog in shackle-engaging position, an advantageous compactness is obtained, permitting the lock to be manufactured in the comparatively small sizes desired for school locker locks.
The disk tumblers I0, II, I2, otherwise referred to as permutation disks, are elements of a ,well
known type of permutation mechanism including a dialing means the rotary member of which is operatively connected with one of the disks; the other disks being independently rotatably mounted and each of the disks having a shoulder or projection in the path of rotation of a shoulder or projection on the adjacent disk, so that by a predetermined manipulation of the rota'ry dialing member, for working the combination for which the lock is set, the disks are brought to a relationship to release the dog. Such release is effected by registration of peripheral recesses in the several disks with each other in the position shown in Fig. 10, so as to allow entry ofthe lug 9 into the said recesses of the disks and consequent release movement of the locking dog as shown in Fig. 1l.
Dialing means is provided as shown in Figs. 1 and 3 by a rotary dial plate I3 mounted on the front of thelock housing, operable by the knob I5, and a fixed pointer I4 shown in Fig. 1 as a notch in the front face of the lock housing. The dial knob I5, which is rotatably mounted on a iixed sleeve I6, has a reduced extension which passes through the front wall of the lock housing and carries the permutation disk I0, which is fast on the inner end of said extension( The other two disks II `and I2 are rotatably mounted on said sleeve I 6, with interposed Vnon-rotatable spacing washers I1 keyed on said sleeve.
The disk I0 which is attached to and directly operated by the dial knob, is separately shown in Fig. 13. Its recess to receive the dog lug 9 is indicated at I. This disk, which is very slightly or almost imperceptibly largerthan the others, also has a series of false recesses I 0b to coactwith the dog lug soas to foil any attempt on the part of unauthorized'persons to learn the lock combination. The projection on the disk I2 for picking up the next disk is indicated in dotted lines at I 0c.
Fig. 14 shows the next disk II, having a recess I Ia to receive the dog lug 9 and a peripheral notch I Ib for a function presently to be described. This is a thin flat disk having an annular series of holes, and is associated with the adjustable abutment ring II shown in Fig. 12. This abutment ring II has an arm providing an abutment IId and a bent terminal finger IIe to enter and project through one of the holes in the disk I I. Said disk II and the abutment Ilc with which it is equipped may be considered as a unit, the abutment ring providing at one side the abutment I Id in the path of the projection IIJc of the first disk f and at the other side the projection IIe to pick up the third disk I2, which is similar to II and equipped with a similar abutment ring I2c as shown in Fig. 3.
The described construction of the permutation disks is exemplary of one appropriate construction of disks adapted for manufacture as sheet metal stampings and suitable for compact as semblage in a small lock construction and of such character as to permit different .working combinations for different locks of the same construc' tion, the combination depending -upon the angular relation of the abutment rings`l Ic and I2c and u ,nations may be further multiplied by the use in different locks of rst disks I0 having their lugs IIJc at different angular relations to the recess I0.
It will be understood that by rotating the dial knob in opposite directions, asv required to work the particular combination for the particular lock,
the several disks will be adjusted with their pe.
ripheral recessesin registration in the position shown in Fig. 10; the third disk having first been `set by rotating the dial as required to cause the first disk to pick up the second and the second to pick up the third and bring it to said position shown in Fig. 10, corresponding to registration of' a specific dial division with the pointer; the sec- -ond disk having next been set by a reverse rotation of the dial to cause the iirst disk to again pick up the second and bring it to the vsame position, corresponding Ato registrationjof another dial division with the pointer; and the rst disk having last been set by a rotation of the dial in the first direction to bring it to the same position corresponding to registration of a third dial division with the pointer.
Having thus worked the lock combination to bring the disks to the position shown in Fig. 10, the sliding shackle may be pulled out to withdraw its short arm from the lock housing, the locking dog being forced to the released position shown in Fig. 1K1 first by the up-pull o f the shackle against the nose of the dog and then by the action of the double acting spring 6. Since the spring holds the locking dog in the position shown in Fig. 11, with the lug 9 in the peripheral recesses of the three disks, it is obvious that there can be no derangement of the lock mechanism while the shackle is in released position such as to necessikey post and turned in a clockwise direction will displace the key tumblers to a position to permit entry of the stump 32 intov the tumbler slots 35, thus releasing the locking dog carrier plate 2|, and by the continued turning of the key its bit engaging in the slotted part 30 of the carrier plate' will actuate it to the unlocking position shown in Fig. 2. As already explained this releases the locking dog 3 from the locking action of the disk tumblers by the shifting of the dog into a position with its lug 9 away from the disk tumblers. whereupon the shackle may be pulled outward to released position, shown in Fig. 2;
To relock the shackle after the key-unlocking operation, the shackle is pressed back against the lever arm 5 of the locking dog, with accompanying reverse turning of the key to restore the dog carrier plate 2l to its normal locked position, thus restoring the locking dog to its normal shackle-locking position under permutation control.
Sumrnarizing brieiiy, the shackle can be released and pulled out upon performing the 1required dialing operation to work the `lock combination, thereby adjusting the disk tumblers in position to release the locking dog. In pulling out the shackle it displaces the dog which under the action of its spring snaps free of the shackle. While the shackle is released the spring-held dog is maintained in xed relation with the dial knob and disk tumblers, preventing such a misadjustment as to necessitate redialing for relooking. To relock the shackle it is only necessary to force it back into position for locking it, in which movement its actuation of the lever arm of the locking dog initiates a return movement o the dog which then under the impulse of its spring snaps into shackleTengaging position. This operation is accompanied by an automatic setting of the tumbler disks to break the lock combination and establish a locked condition auch as to necessitate redialing for subsequent un locking. But by means of the key, the normally fixed carrier plate al can be released and actuated to change the position of the 'locking dog relative to the disk tumblers sufficiently to allow releasing action of the dog and consequently to permit the withdrawal of the shackle with such accompanying releasing action. And by forcing back the shackle with an accompanying reverse turn of the key, the parts are restored to the vnormal locked condition, whereupon the key may be withdrawn and the lock left for use as a permutation lock.
Certain constructional features of the illustrative lock will now be described.
and fastened by the rivet EL This liner plate,v
formed with the bearing on the key post and with the pivot pin 23 for the key-tumblers, is virtually a part of the lock housing but is made as a separate part for manufacturing convenience.
It has the further advantage of reinforcing and stiuening the sheet metal lock housing. A parti v,in asembly.
tion plate d2 carryingthe key-barrel or sleeve I6 is fitted-in the lock housing between the hanged liner plate 40 and ianged front plate 31. 'The locking dog carrier plate 2l and locking dog 3 and the key-tumblers 3| are arranged in the rear housing member between the plates 40 and o2, with suitable spacer plate elements 63 and M between said parts and the partition plate 42 as shown in Fig, 3. These spacer elements, shown partition plate having the key-barrel or sleeve I6, assembled with the disk tumblers H and I2, is put into place, slipping the key-barrel over the key post. Then the iianged front plate 3l hav-` ingthe dial plate, dial knob and first permutation disk` i0 assembled therewith as a unit as clearly shown in Fig. 3, is liitted in the rear housing member against the partition plate $2 and secured by spinning the outer' housing rim at 33, thus securing all the parts of the lock in assembly.
The liner plate t0 and partition plate 52 are formed with cooperating recessed flanges d5, 3% to provide a guide for the reduced swiveled end l oi the long shank of the shackle, the said reduced part of the shackle shank being formed with shoulders at each end to limit the sliding movement of the shackle in arid out, as is apparent. The housing is provided with the usual openings for the shackle, and as shown in Figs. 17 to 19 the parts do, Il@ and 3l are formed with suitable cut-away portions to accommodate movable parts of the look mechanism.
.as shown in Fig. 3. the dial plate i3 is :trusto- A conical, providing an enclosed space between it and the :iront plate of the lock housing. In this space is a Clicker ring d8 axed to the dial knob extension ibs and having a rib which rides on the annular toothed surface lli? on the front heusing plate, producing a click every time the dial is turned one notch. The clicker ring is yieidingly pressed against the front housing plate by an undulating or wavy sheet metal ring P3233. The dial plate i3, clicker ring It and first permutation disk l@ are all tted to the dial knob extension 35B and keyed therewith by means lof internal lugs on said parts engaging the longitudinal slots in said knob extension. This dial knob extension is of stepped diameter, providing seats on which the dial and clicker ring, front housing plate and rst permutation disk are respectively itted, and the inner end of said extension is swaged to the disk lll, whereby the parts mentioned are secured It will be understood that the specific construction embodied in the illustrative lock is exemplary, that changes in details of construction and arrangement are permissible, and that parts oi the invention may be variously used without the whole, so that the foregoing description is. not to be taken as limiting the invention otherwise than as dened by its claims.
The member hereinbefore designated as the locmng dog may otherwise be termed a lock bolt,
it being the movable member which directwonblers accompanyingV retraction of said lock bolt gages the shackle and by which the shackle is locked by the mechanism controlling said member.
