1 Claim.
The present invention relates to improvements in galley locks, one object of the invention being the provision of a galley lock which is quickly and easily adjusted in the galley and removed therefrom, and which will hold the set type in proper position during the interim.
Another Object of the present invention is the provision of a galley lock which can be made of many types of material such as metal, plastics or even wood, andwhich is simple, and inexpenagainst separation.
sive to manufacture, and which is thoroughly efiicient and practical in use.
To more clearly point out the details of construction of the present galley lock attention is invited to the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a top plan view of the lock as applied to a galley and its type, the galley and type being shown in dotted lines.
Figure 2 is a section on line 2-2 of Fig. l.
Figure 3 is a section on line 3--3 of Fig. l, and
Figure 4 is a longitudinal section of the galley lock on line 4--4 of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawing, the numeral I designates the galley carrying the type 2. and the metal separating strip 3, usual in type setting operations. To hold the type in place in the galley the present lock 4, which is composed of two telescopically sliding members 5 and 6, is positioned so that the strip 3 is contacted by the lock, while the lock cushionedly engagesv opposed walls of the galley, as shown in Fig. 1.
The female member 5 is made in the form of an open rectangular casing having side walls 1, with a cross partition 8, which as will presently appear acts as a linger engaging means as well as the support for an extension spring S, the purpose of which will presently appear. Centrally of the partition 8, is an offset portion 9, provided with a modied key-hole shaped recess I0, which receives one end of the springs, and in its bottom near the open end thereof, the member 5zis provided with an elongated slot II, the purpose of which will presently appear.
The member 6 is of somewhat similar shape to the member 5, but is narrower in width, and its walls 6 are shorter, so that this member 6 may 4 telescopically iit in the open end of the member 5 for sliding movements.
In order to limit the sliding movement of the member 6 and also to provide a nger grip portion for the lock, there is formed integral with the member 6 a cylindrical abutment or post I2,
having an internally threaded cylindrical socket I3, for the removable reception of the holding screw M, lwhich as shown in Figs. 2 and 4, has its head seated for sliding movement in the en larged portion of the slot II, while its body portion is guided in the slot to permit the members to be moved longitudinally with relation to each other, and to at the same time hold the parts The member 6 is also provided with a cross partition I6 having a central off-set portion I1, with a spring receiving recess I8 to receive the opposite end of the extension spring S, whose tension exerts to press the outer ends of the lock which carry the non-slipping end pieces I9 and 2i) against the inner faces of the opposed walls of the galley. These pieces I9 and 20 are preferably made of small pieces of rubber material adhesively, or otherwise attached in place.
From the foregoing description taken in connection withthe drawing it is evident that there has been provided a very simple and practical galley lock, and that the operator by engaging the cross-piece 8 and the post I2 can move the members against the action of the spring S, to insert or remove the lock, and inasmuch as the members 5 and 8 are so shaped that the lock will at all times assume a position parallel with the type and across the open portion of the galley to hold the set type in the desired position and against accidental disruption in the galley. This lock is also a unitary structure which can be easily carried about for instant use, and inasmuch as the parts are locked securely together, the spring within its recesses and the members by the screw I4, a very practical and useful galley lock is provided. Of course, this lock may be made in various sizes, but the general shape is essential to provide a desirable lock of this type.
What is claimed is:
A galley lock including two rectangular in cross section telescopic members, each one of which is provided with a cross partition, an extension spring having its ends anchored in said cross partition and exerting a tension to separate the members, an internally threaded nger engaging post carried by one member, `the other member being provided with a'centrally and longitudinally disposed slot aligned with said post, and a screw slidably mounted in said slot and fitted in the internally threaded finger engaging post to lock the parts operatively together.
