Patented Dec. 12, 1939 UNITED. STATES PATENT OFFICE GATE LOCK v Thomas E. Haught, Boldman, Ky. Application Eebruai-yi23, 1939, Serial No. 257,829
101 Claims.
This invention relates to a gate lock, the word gate being used broadly to indicate any kind of. a hinged member that may be moved to close an opening,
Industrial plants, cemeteries, parks, and-a great many other areas are surrounded by enclosures, that are intended to render in ess and egress as difiicult as possible, except thr ugh gates and the like. X
Large enterprises find it necessary to change looks quite frequently because keys fall into unauthorized-hands, just asit is expedient to change combination looks from time to time. The object .of the present invention is a gate I lock that is automatically locked when the gate is ,brought into locking position with respect to a post or other stationary member, by closing a detachably attached padlock, the great advantages of which will be at once apparent, since a differ-- exit padlock can be put on, almost without cost, if a .number' of padlocks are used in different places that are identical, except in keying.
The above and other objects that will be apparent'from the following specification are accomplished by the structure illustrated and described hereinafter, the novel features of which are particularly pointed out in the claims that follow.
The drawing showing a preferred form of the invention, as it will be applied to a fence gate,
havebeen chosen as the best form in which to illustrate the invention in which-- Fig. I is-a side elevation of the complete lock ing device employed in the chosen situation, with fragmentary parts of the elements to be locked together. The parts are slightly offset or open and unlocked. 4 Fig, H is the same structure shown in Fig. I after the parts to be locked have been brought into line and ,the locking has been accomplished. Fig. 111 is a section taken on the irregular line III-III of Fig. II, Fig. IV is a section taken Fig.1, andi Fig. V is a sec' on the line IVIV In the drawing, I is a gatepost, made rigid any convenient manner.
1 .is a stile of a gate l 3 is A keeper, securely attached to the gate-post I and 4 is abolt that engages, with the keeper 3.'
The stile 2 is equipped with oppositely facing flanged bolt guides 5 and 5, provided with aligned bolt-holes 5a and 6a within which the bolt 4v is lit} --reciprocable within limits, as shown,
tion taken on the line v--v pr that is to be locked to the The bolt 4 will be provided with a head 4a and a compression spring 1 that reacts between the into forcible alignment.
' which the padlock I6 is detachably fastened by 25,
That part of the bolt 4 that lies between the oppositely facing'jlanged bolt-guides 5 and 6 is substantially covered by the sleeve l l, longitudinally slotted as at 1 la and having formed thereon a pair of lugs l2 between which the cam-lever i3 is pivotally mounted. A cam i4 is made rigid with the bolt 4 and serves to move the cam lever, serving also as shown to limit upward movement of the bolt 4 under the influence of the spring 1. Made rigid with the sleeve II is the shelf l5, to
the stirrup I l.
The padlock, as usual consists of the body [6 and the stable Ill. The sleeve I l is also furnished with the lug I9, which prevents the staple from being slid up to open the gate by unfastening the stirrup l'l when the padlock is in locked position.
A lug 20 will prevent retraction of the bolt 4 after the padlock has been locked in position.
When the gate is swung from the position shown in Fig. I to that shown in Fig. II, the bolt 'head 4a contacts the underside of the diagonal plate l0 and is forced downward into the keeper 3 as shownin Fig. 111 the cam l4 contacts the cam=lever I3, forcing the staple I8 into the body of the padlock l6, where it is automatically locked. When it is desiredto open the gate, it will be noted that the bolt 4 and the sleeve H, bearing the padlock is freely swingable in a quarter revolution in either direction hence the key can be ii-inserted in the base of the padlock l6 from either side.
The keeper is made wide so that when the lock I6 is unlocked, the bolt has suflicient lost motion withinthe keeper 3 to partly release it from the restraint of the diagonal plate l0 so that the parts may open, as otherwise the lock would be diflicult to release from its locked position.
The foregoing'is to be regarded as a detailed description of a preferred embodiment onlyand I do not choose to be limited by the descriptions, but only by the claims.
I claim:
1. In a gate lock, a gate member and a post member, a bolt carried by one of the said members and adapted to engage a keeper carried by the other member; means mounted on the post that are effective to forcibly engage the bolt with the keeper when they are brought to closing position and a padlock that is lockably engageable with means on the bolt, means for closing the padlock into locking engagement with said bolt, said means being operable by movement of the bolt as it is forced into engagement with the keeper.
2. In a lock for looking a swinging member with a stationary member, a keeper carried by one member, a bolt reciprocably mounted on the other member in position to engage the keeper, automatic means for engaging the bolt with the keeper when they are brought into closed position, a padlock that is detachably attached to the bolt mounting and means operative 'upon movement of the bolt into the keeper that are effective to lockingly close the padlock around the to lockingly engage the padlock with means on the bolt when said bolt is forced into the keeper.
4. Ina locking device of the character described, a bolt adapted to engage a keeper, a keeper with which said bolt is engageable, a
sleeve through which the bolt is slidably mounted,-
a mounting for the sleeve and bolt, a padlock detachably attached to said sleeve and cam and lever means carried in part by each of said sleeve and said bolt members that are automatically eifective to close the padlock upon the said sleeve and the said bolt in locked relationship with the bolt when the bolt is forcibly engaged with the said keeper.
5. In a locking device of the character described, a bolt, a mounting for said bolt that is arranged for limited reciprocal bolt movement, into and out of bolting position, a sleeve through which the bolt isreciprocably movable and a padlock operatively mounted on said sleeve to lockingly engage the bolt in bolting position, characterized by a cam that is made rigid with the bolt, and a cam-lever pivotally mounted on said sleeve that are cooperatively effective to close the bolt betweensaid bolt mountings, a padlock that is mounted on said sleeve for locking movement in a plane normal to the axis of the bolt to lockingly engage the same and cam and lever means mounted on said bolt and said sleeve, that are effective to close the padlock into locking engagement with the bolt under the influence of bolt movement.
7. A locking device for a gate or the like comprising a bolt carried thereby that is reciprocable in a plane normal to the movement of the gate, to engage a stationary keeper, a relatively stationary cam device that is positioned to force the bolt into the keeper when it is in registration therewith, a bolt mounting, a padlock carried by said mounting and cam and lever devices that are operable by movement of the bolt into the keeper to engage the padlock with means on the bolt.
8. A gate locking device comprising a bolt mounting on the gate, a bolt reciprocable therein, a relatively fixed keeper, relatively fixed means for forcing the bolt into the keeper when it is 'swung into alignment therewith by closing the gate, a padlock fixed on the mounting that is adapted to lockingly engage means on the boltto hold it in the keeper and cam and lever means operable by movement of the bolt into the keeper that are effective to lock the padlock to thebolt.
9. A gate-lock comprising a bolt mountin mounted on a gate, a relatively fixed keeper with which the bolt is automatically engageable upon closing the gate, a padlock mounted on said bolt mounting with its staple portion around the bolt and a means operable by the bolt, upon movement thereof into engagement with the keeper, that are effective to lock the padlock staple around the bolt and prevent its withdrawal from the keeper.
10. The combination according to claim 9 and in which the padlock mounting is a sleeve member swingably mounted on the bolt whereby the padlock can be swung to position for inserting a key, through approximately 180 degrees of arc.
