' comm. (Cl. 292-18) The invention pertains" to catches of the type intended for use in releasably holding-cabinet doors and the like in closed position; and the primary object of the inventionis to-provide'a catch which is capable of'quick and easy installation or removal.
Another object is to provide a catch of the character aforesaid which is-rel-easably held in position bymeans of resilient retaining elements.
A general object is to provide a catch embodying the aforesaid advantageous features which may be manufactured economically and-which is exceptionally durable.
The objects of-the invention thus generally stated, together with other and ancillary advantages, are attained by the" construction and arrangement shown by way of illustration in'the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of myimproved catch shown in relation to a mounting plate apertured to receive the-catch.
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary horizontal sectional view showing the catch applied to a double pan door in operative relation'to a strike onan-associated door frame.
Fig. 3 is a front view of the catch. I
Fig. 4 is a similar view showing thecatch in relation to a mountingplate.
Fig. 5 is a fragmentaryperspective viewof the catch installed in its mountingplate; the view being taken from the rear side ofthe plate.
Fig. 6 is a view similar-toFig. 2 but illustrating an equalizing action of the strike engaging jaws when the catch and itsstrike are not accurately alined, the jaws being shown in section.
Fig. 7 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view illustrating the applicationof the: catchto a wooden door. 1
In the present preferred embodiment of the invention, the catch comprises generally, a U- shaped frame 8 having spaced parallel side plates 9 and 9' and a front plate Hlintegral with the side plates. Within such-frame is a pair of strike engaging jaws H pivotally mounted upon a pivot pin l2 extending between and fastened at opposite ends in the side plates 9 and 9'. Mounted onthe pin I2 is a torsion spring l3 urging the jaws ll into position to receive'and yieldably retain a strike 14,- the front plate H] of the frame having a hole l-5'for thepassage of the strike.
Since the" catch is especially" designed for mounting in double pan doors, the inner pan'of the door D will in most instances constitute the mounting plate; As shown in Fig. 1, the inner pan i6 is formed with a square hole I! dimensioned to receive the frame 8 and more particularlythe side plates 9 and 9' thereof. Thus the lengtlr'of the hole corresponds to the width of the sideplates of the frame and the width of the hole corresponds to the lateral spacing of the side plates. To provide abutment means for limiting movement of the frame through the hole H, the front plate is elongated to form end portions'bearing against the outer face of the mountingplate at opposite side edges of the hole.
For, the purpose of disengageably retaining the catch" in its mounting plate the side plates 9 and 9- areformed with a plurality of resilient detent elements so constructed and arranged as to engage with the mounting plate at the edges of thehole l1 therein when the front plate is forced flat against the outer face of the mounting plate. Such resilient detent elements are in the present preferred embodiment of the invention comprised of'two pairs of fingers 18, I8 and IS, IS, o'nepair constituting a positive stop means for coaction with the extended ends of the front plate to positively hold the catch against movement transversely of the opening, and the other pairfrictionallyengaging with the-edges of the hole to, assist in retaining the catch in posttionand hold it against shifting laterally relative to themounting plate.
The positive detent elements or fingers I8, I8 are respectively formedon the side plates 9 and 9' and in-general at diagonally opposite corners of the frame. In formingthe fingers i8 and [8, the side plates 9 and 8' are formed with slots l8a shown clearly in Fig. l and the fingers bent somewhat outwardly. The extreme forward ends of th'edingers are disposed in a vertical plane spaced rearwardly from the front face of the plate ill a distance corresponding to the thickness of the .mounting'plate, and these ends being offset form abutments for engaging-with the inner face of the mounting plate at the edge of the'opening i1, thereby positively holding the catch against removal. It will be-seen that in bending the fingers outwardly cam surfaces are formed which engage with the edges of the opening in the mounting plate and forcethe fingers inwardly as the catch is thrust home.
Like the. fingers l8 and I8, the frictional detent ele nents or fingers l9 and I9 are respectivelymade integral with the plates 9 and 9 and located at the'other corners of the supporting supporting frame against lateral shifting move-' ments.
The strike engaging jaws II have their rear end portions constructed to provide yokes and 20' pivotally mounted in nested relation upon the 4 feature of special importance is the ease with which the catch may be installed, since the catch may be securely fastened in position simply by pressing the frame through a. hole in the mounting plate dimensioned to correspond with the cross sectional shape of the frame at a point rearwardly of the front plate. Through the use of both positive and frictional detent elements,
the catch is held firmly not only against movement in a front to rear direction but also against lateral shifting movement. When it is desired to remove the catch from its supporting plate, the
" positive elements may be easily pried out of holdpin 12. Each of the jaws is made from sheet metal and comprises an arm 2| formed with ears 22 integral with opposite side edges of the arm and apertured to receive the pivot pin l2. For-' wardly of the ears 22 the arms are suitably shaped to form opposite jaw portions 23 which are urged toward each other by the torsion spring l3, the latter being coiled about the pivot pin l2 and having opposite end portions 24 engaging the rear ends of the jaw arms 2.]. To limit the approaching movement of the jaw portions 23, bosses 25 and 25 are struck up from the inner sides of the plates 9 and 9 for engagement with stop lugs 26 and 26' on the respective jaws, each of said lugs being formed integral with one of the cars 22 (Fig. 2).
The strike [4 is herein shown as comprising a pin suitably fastened to the frame member 21 of the cabinet 0. The projecting end of the pin has a head 28 providing a tapering shoulder for engagement by the jaws of the catch. Preferably the strike is proportioned so that when received between the jaws, the stop lugs 26 and 26' are held away from their respective bosses 25 and 25' (Fig. 2) so that the jaws are free to move in unison for a limited distance to one side or the other of the supporting frame. Thus, if the strike should not when installed be alined exactly with the catch, both jaws will nevertheless operate with an equalizing action to exert a gripping force on the strike (Fi 6).
While the improved catch is especially designed for mounting in metallic cabinet doors of the double pan type so as to be concealed substantially from view and present no undesirable obstruction upon the inner face of the door, it will be understood that the reverse arrangement may be employed and the catch mounted upon the cabinet frame with the strike upon the door. Also, the catch is applicable to door or frame members of wood as illustrated in Fig. 7. In such event, a separate mounting plate [6a. may be fastened to the door or other support in overlying relation to a recess 28, the frame of the catch being inserted through an opening in the plate 16a, and retained in such opening in the manner above set forth.
Removal of the catch fromits mounting plate may be readily accomplished by means of a pointed instrument inserted through the hole 15 in the front plate I!) and into engagement with the positive locking fingers l8 and I8. By exerting a force upon the tool in the nature of a prying action, the locking fingers may be disengaged one at a time from behind the mounting plate and the catch removed. The manner in which the tool T may be inserted for this operation is illustrated in Fig. 4.
It will be seen that I have provided a catch which is simple in construction and. therefore susceptible of economical manufacture. But the ing relation to the edge of the opening. I claim as my invention:
